You will not be able to get Windows Mail to play with hotmail. Don't know

Hotmail requires HTTP, Windows Mail doesn't support HTTP, Windows mail does
not support Hotmail.

If you are willing to try a beta program then you might consider Windows
Live Mail Beta (Download from Microsoft). It is very similar to current
Windows Mail, however one of its differences is that it supports Hotmail
accounts.

Most ISPs (your internet service provider) also provide email accounts.
Those accounts are usually SMTP and Windows Mail works with them. It is of
course a major pain to notify all of your contacts that you have changed
email addresses!

Also you can continue to get your hotmail directly at the hotmail site (I
have a suspicion that MS felt they should force hotmail user to the hotmail
site so that advertisements can be shown to them, but that may just be my
paranoia).
