I'm not saying that *you* can't do it. I am saying:
1. Microsoft says it cannot be done.
2. Last night, I tried setting up a six-year old Hotmail account to be
accessed with Outlook Express and it fed back an error message stating that
it cannot be done.
3. Microsoft says it cannot be done. (Yes, I'm repeating that because both
Hotmail and Outlook are their products and they should know.)
This is from Microsoft's KB:
You receive an error message when you use Outlook Express to access your
Hotmail account
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=878462
This states: "MSN Hotmail no longer supports Distributed Authoring and
Versioning (DAV) for free user accounts. Outlook Express uses the DAV
interface to connect to Hotmail. Only paid Hotmail accounts will work
correctly with Outlook Express. If you configured Outlook Express or Outlook
to access your Hotmail account before DAV support was ended, you may still
be able to use Outlook Express to open a free Hotmail account. However,
eventually Hotmail will no longer support DAV for all free Hotmail accounts.

Well I can send you a test message from OE from which you can see it can
be done. I also provided a link which tells you how to do it.
I also emphasize that NEW HOTMAIL ACCOUNTS cannot be done. Therefore,
people have to go to AOL/AIM for free accounts if they want to use OE or
Outlook. The link is here:

Are you doubting what I am saying? What other proof do you want?

done.)

Under Notes, it says "Free MSN Hotmail accounts cannot be used with
Outlook.
"
To make sure, I just set my system up to access another Hotmail account
that
I monitor and I got the following error message: "Access to Hotmail via
Outlook and Outlook Express now requires a subscription. Please sign up
at
http://join.msn.com/general/Email";

What do you mean "The account HAS to have been set up prior to
September
2004". Only lastweek I set up my hotmail accounts on a new laptop.
they are all free accounts. Did I say somewhere "Your account needs to
be "old" to get this facility." are you saying US rules are different
from the UK? All my hotmail accounts are myname@xxxxxxxxxxxx i don't
like using dot co dot uk address because of extra typing involved.

Try this link:

Your account needs to be "old" to get this facility. I was
fortunate
to
have all my 7 accounts setup prior to MS decided to start charging
its
customers.
Alternatively, you could sign up with AIM/AOL and get access to the
account using Outlook/Outlook Express. You need to hurry up
otherwise
they too will start charging if demands exceeds beyond their
expectancy!
