Nope. This is the sort of thing to expect from a company that wants to own your data.

From the Wikipedia page about Hotmail:
Access from mail clients
MSN accounts once had POP3 email access but they sold their POP3 servers to Qwest in favor of HTML servers.
It is in principle possible to check one's own e-mail using the WebDAV protocol (an extension of HTTP), using mail clients such as Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express on PC, Microsoft Entourage on Mac, or an extension for Mozilla Thunderbird.[8] But while this service was free for a number of years, Microsoft announced on September 27, 2004 that they were making it a subscription-only service for new users immediately and existing users from April 2005. However, some (not all) existing users are still able to access their Hotmail accounts via this protocol for free as of April 2007, depending on how long they have been a member of Hotmail and whether their account had ever been suspended due to spam violations. Also, whether it is a technical glitch or not, clients still using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 but have not updated to SP2 can still access their Hotmail account via Outlook regardless.
It should be noted that Windows Mail, Outlook Express' successor, no longer supports HTML email access. Users can get around this restriction however, by using software that simulates a POP server to which the e-mail application connects.
It is possible for account holders of Windows Live Hotmail (or normal Hotmail) to check their email through Windows Live Mail (formally Windows Live Mail Desktop).
Mail from other accounts can be accessed through Hotmail using the "POP mail" button located on the Hotmail toolbar.

Do WebDAV connections to Hotmail still work in spite of MIcrosoft announcing that they will shut this service off?
