Search around on freshmeat.net for hotmail and you should find a few 
packages that can emulate a pop3 or imap server while grabbing the mail 
from a hotmail account.
Hotmail doesn't allow regular pop/imap access, but outlook express uses 
their goofy HTTPmail protocol which is a hack of WebDAV to talk to 
hotmail. Since people figured the protocol out, there have been a number 
of progrmas to do the conversion.

I had good luck in the past with gotmail, but it looks like the 
maintainer is busy recently and suggests Hotwayd
