If you're using several email accounts can't the latest MS Mail program
(Outlook 2007 ?) distinguish between them so that just as with WebDAV emails
go securely to where they belong, and not all get dropped into the same
Inbox folder....

It was far longer then a month, it was at least three months between
when I set up my first US based user and when I was able to start POPing
my own test account (I'm Canadian)

One of my users reported that as of last week they had a "POP3 service
is still being rolled out for members of your country" message received
from Hotmail support. I don't recall which country, although I could
probably look it up, somewhere in eastern Europe I believe.

No, pop3 always uses 1 mailbox. you can use rules or, with outlook 2007,
set a different inbox (on acct settings).

Great stuff - if it it's going to be totally free via POP that's very
commendable for Microsoft....
what are the pop/smtp addresses that I should be using for hotmail a/c's
... or where should I find them ?

Microsoft is just trying to keep up with Gmail, nothing particularly
commendable about that.

A day late and a dollar short, but at least they're trying.

(I guess I could have answered the question too, sorry... )

POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows
Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and
password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes

And who knows how long it will last...
