Any help would be great.

Cheers

You need hotmail plus for it to be directly compatible with mail.app

however, http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/index_files/hotmail-in-mailapp.html provides instructions to get you running. You'll have install freepops (link in the link I gave you) then follow those instructions.

That's not strictly true. If you use the server pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com you can get it running on Mail, recieving and sending e-mails.
