Yes. Users can use POP or the Outlook Connector to pull their email from Hotmail into Outlook. For more information on Windows Live Mail, please visit http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_beta. Get the Outlook Connector download It’s important to use a very efficient protocol when synchronizing millions of e-mail accounts with large (5Gb) in-boxes between cloud and client-side stores. POP really isn’t the most efficient way to do that. That said, Windows Live Mail allows users to use POP to access any e-mail account whose servers support POP. We’ve built a new ultra-efficient protocol called Delta Sync to synchronize between Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Mail beta. We may add other protocol options shortly.
