You can't, yet. But gotmail or -HotWayDaemon might -be what you need.

You can't directly. But you can use fetchmail with hotmail or lycos +webmail with the help of the HotWayDaemon +daemon. You don't even need to install hotwayd as a daemon in +inetd.conf but can use it as a plugin. Your +configuration should look like this:

+ +

+poll localhost protocol pop3 tracepolls
+   plugin "/usr/local/sbin/hotwayd -l 0 -p yourproxy:yourproxyport"
+   username "youremail@hotmail.com" password "yourpassword"
+   fetchall
+
+ +

As a second option you may consider using gotmail.
