Joining Gmail, Yahoo, and other mail services, Windows Live Hotmail launches incoming POP3 access for the U.S., Canada, and Brazil, meaning Hotmail users can aggregate all their other email accounts into one inbox.
As we’ve previously reported, Microsoft recently allowed outgoing POP3 access. While Hotmail users in the U.K., France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Germany have had access to the incoming POP3 feature for some time, today the Western hemisphere gets their more open-ended accounts as well.
Welcome to 2003, Hotmail users.
