I thought you could only do that directly with a paid-for Hotmail account. Here's how to do it with a free account, using FreePOPs - http://email.about.com/od/outlookexpresstips/qt/et061405.htm

Agree with this ... a really annoying 'feature' of free hotmail. Get yourself a Gmail account as this allows you to import POP mail into it and allows you to receive your emails into your email client.
