+<p>You can't directly. But you can use fetchmail with hotmail or lycos
+webmail with the help of the <a
+href='http://people.freenet.de/courierdave/'>HotWayDaemon</a>
+daemon. You don't even need to install hotwayd as a daemon in
+<filename>inetd.conf</filename> but can use it as a plugin. Your
+configuration should look like this:<p>
+
+<pre>
+poll localhost protocol pop3 tracepolls
+   plugin "/usr/local/sbin/hotwayd -l 0 -p yourproxy:yourproxyport"
+   username "youremail@hotmail.com" password "yourpassword"
+   fetchall
+</pre>
