How do you set up IMAP for hotmail?

Answer:

POP3 Support

Hotmail only directly supports POP3. For POP3, use pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com on ports 995 and 587 using SSL. For detailed instructions, go to the Windows Live website listed in Related Links.

IMAP Support

A product named "mBox Mail for Mac" provides IMAP access to your Hotmail account. This is for Mac or iPhone/iPod touch devices. It is compatible with Mac Mail, Entrouage, and Thunderbird.

Folder Support

On Windows machines you can use Microsoft Windows Live desktop client. It will allow you to manage your Hotmail folders as well as add other IMAP accounts.
