As far as I know, microsoft outlook doesn't work with hotmail. Indeed sad because outlook client could have proved to be much more convinient, had it been able to connect to the hotmail.

Anyhow, if I can remember correctly, there is another software on the internet like MS outlook which would download your emails from hotmail server and let you send the emails through itself too. I can't recall the name but you could easily find that out over the internet. I am sure you can figure out the rest.

All the Best~
