And if you want your mail in an app, then use a service that does actually supports it. All these viavia workarounds can make it risky. I mean, how many can you make if you would be able to read every message from a person that has hotmail, has a mac, uses Mail.app and likes a work-around. I bet you can make more money out of that, then it will actually build a service that makes it possible to redirect it to your mailprogramm. Anyway, hotmail has no good-parts in comparision with gMAIL, your own ISP-address or an own domain-address. Just send everybody your new address, and check your hotmail every week once for the next 6 moths. After those 6 months, delete it. Or, check it once in a 30 days just to be sure that if someone with a timemachine that met you 10 years ago will be able to send you a message (not that he will actually read the reply...) -just my thoughts. Or just go to hotmail.com and check your mail there.
