Microsoft has <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/POP3-Settings-to-Bridge-Windows-Live-Hotmail-with-and-Email-Client-102084.shtml" target="_blank">announced</a> that Windows Live Hotmail now supports POP3 in select countries on a number of devices, including the iPhone. The announcement means that Hotmail users can now set their iPhone 3G to automatically retrieve email from their inbox based on a schedule. <!--break-->

POP3 access is available in United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. To set it up, users will need to set it to recognize the POP server as <i>pop3.live.com (port 995)</i> and provide their full WIndows Live ID and password for the account.

Even though I no longer use Hotmail it's nice to see Microsoft is finally allowing their subscribers to have Pull Email on smartphones such as the iPhone without having to pay extra for the service.

I would expect they're allowing the rest of the world to subscribe before the US floods the servers.

If they are charging, this has been available for a while now. If you pay yearly for your Hotmail, you can have POP3 access to it.

This is expected behavior hotmail is only giving you pop access witch does not support folder syncing if you wanted to see anything else you would need imap

fyi trash and sent appear after you delete or send a msg from that account on the iphone
