Port for pop3.live.com is 995, SSL in Advanced tab. Smtp.live.com is 25,
SSL. You do have a "paid" Hotmail subscription, don't you? Hotmail Plus,
some partner MSN, etc.

Afraid so. You can pay $19.95 for Hotmail Plus, you can download Windows
Live Mail or you can get the Outlook Connector for Outlook 2003 or 2007 to
connect to free Hotmail accounts.

Same thing for free US-based Yahoo accounts. You can upgrade to Yahoo's
Mail Plus for $19.99 per year, which gets you POP/SMTP access:

Why don't you just use Windows Live Messenger to access your hotmail e-mail
account?
