    There might be, but I seriously doubt it because I believe hotmail doesn't support POP like Gmail or some other email providers.

    Isn't there like a Hotmail Pro version or something that gives you POP abilities?

    Yes, you can POP Hotmail, but you have to subscribe to that service. I'd suggest Gmail as already noted.

    I would go with Gmail also. Its alot easier to configure. When i had hotmail, it would just add a set of folders to my Outlook. It was just a pain to use.
