you probably cant check it with your icq. But there are two email clients that will work. One is outlook Express, the other is incredimail. You can download incredimail from download.com than you will have to turn around and download the upgrade from www.incredimail.com for some reason they have not posted the very latest one to download.com and you need the upgrade so hotmail will work. I highly reccomend incredimail because it flat out rules

Hotmail doesn't use POP3 or SMTP for incoming/outgoing messages, but it can be used with software such as Outlook/Express etc. In Outlook Express you can merely set Hotmail istelf, but anyway, to use it, it is:
A HTTP Server:
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
and your login name is your full email address
