WARNING I just received word from the IBM CERT Team that the security for Microsoft Live has been breached. Their recommendation is to have nothing to do with it until Microsoft is able to redo the security. At the present time the hackers are able to defeat the Microsoft Live security one third of the time.
Already many posts on the same subject. But, anyway, Im not sure what exactly you mean. Do you mean checking your hotmail by the mail app or just through your safari browser? If you want to check your hotmail without the safari browser then you can check it for free using the web app mailcoaster at www.mailcoaster.com. If you want to check your hotmail using the mail app then you can sign up with one of 2 paid services. Hotmail plus allows you to check you hotmail through a pop server or you can use izymail. Both services cost about $20/year. But, izmail gives you a free one month trail.
