you could try setting up pop3 access to Hotmail again, but as far as I know Microsoft are gradually removing the facility - it is certainly no longer available for new accounts.

Eventually only the paid for accounts will have pop3 access...

As long as he hasn't formatted his pc the file needed to allow hotmail to give POP access (while it's still available) will still be there so POP access will work again once the connection is working properly again.
I take it that the original poster (artphun?) has tried to re-create the account through outlook with all the correct details?
What mail account settings are being used for hotmail in Outlook?

I used to access hotmail through Outlook Express and it used HTTP (WebDAV) rather than POP3.

Yes it's HTTP access via OE or Outlook but people call it POP access by mistake now and then, Hotmail uses HTTP where other email accounts would specify a POP address in the settings.
Until we know what settings have been specified by the poster we won't actually know what might be wrong.
