VERY SORRY about this!!!
I just remembered having read something about pop accounts in
hotmail. They meant you can read other pop3 accounts from
hotmail.

But you can install the port
/usr/ports/mail/gotmail

With this a perl script you can download from your hotmail
account like this:

# gotmail -u your_username -p your_password -f
your_FreeBSD_username


Regards

Uli.
