I have a hotmail e-mail address. I also have Mac’s Mail program installed on my computer (since it came with it and all) and have always felt like I was wasting something that might be really cool by not using it. However, I’ve never been able to figure the mail program out. Is there any way I can use it with my hotmail account, or would I need a different kind of e-mail to use it?

I haven’t tried it, but I found [Hotmail Plugin](http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18189) on VersionTracker. Give it a try.
