The 10.4.3 upgrade broke the httpmail plug-in for some people. A new version of the plug-in, which allows users to download their MSN and Hotmail emails into Apple Mail, has been released which fixes the problems some people were reporting.

And even if it doesn’t, a user has posted a work-around on httpmail’s Sourceforge bugs report page:

If 10.4.3 isn’t letting you install the plugin fill in all the details as usual but when you get to the incoming server box (normally where it freezes up) just enter hotmail and NOT hotmail.com click continue a warning will come up disregard and continue. When you have filled out all the details go into the preferences in mail to edit your hotmail account an just change the incoming server to hotmail.com and that’s it.

You can get the new version from its Sourceforge page.
