So some questions. When did it last work for you, if ever?
Did you ever receive mail from Hotmail about it changing it's availability?
Do you access Hotmail through an MSN or Qwest account?

Feedback from a user:

After getting kicked around from the ISP to MSN to Apple, I finally worked
with a tech at Qwest and we reset the settings for MSN Mail to be a POP
service (instead of a Hotmail account) and it solved the problem.

Don't know for sure what caused it - the tech did mention something offhand
that MSN was converting accounts back to POP from http or something like
that).

So, I think you can at least get the mail to work again if you rebuild the
account in Entourage as a POP account. You'll probably need to ask the ISP
for the server names. And the Advanced Options need to be set to require a
SSL connection.
