How do I get my Hotmail with Leopard mail

I was using Tiger mail and receiving my Hotmail mails, of course Tiger Mail was not updating my Hotmail boxes at he server, but at least I was able to read my Hotmail.

I installed Leopard, the when I used Mail for the first time a message announce that Leopard Mail will update my mailboxes. SURPRISE, leopard mail removed my hotmail account mailbox and besides that erased or removed my SENT mailbox containing important mails which I have been sending using hotmail.

1.- How can I keep receiving my hotmail with Leopard Mail.
2.- How can I retreive my SENT messages.

Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions.

The short answer, for now, is you don't. It's increasingly clear that Microsoft does not want to extend this privilege to users of free HotMail accounts, not does it want to offer POP3 access to anyone other than paying HotMail Plus users at this point, and for the foreseeable future.

And, the open-source HTTPMail plug in is broken, and nothing has been heard to date from the developer about an update to support Mail in Mac OS X 10.5.
