I suspect the reason is that Hotmail runs on a cluster of servers, and Microsoft are upgrading the servers one-by-one so that hopefully,if one should fail, the remaining servers will take the load.
That's the way I'd do an upgrade like this..

Re: Microsoft cuts pop access to new hotmail accounts
If anyone cares, Mr Postman (google for it) can act as a POP3 to HTTP bridge enabling hotmail to be checked in ANY email client and not just OE6.
Works well with Mozilla!

If you go via the hotmail website you get ads but if you go through OE or outlook you don't.
Why not just use MrPostman?

Thats my point ...as much as MS gets a buzz out of hosting your email it would be nice if they could cover some of the costs

Spam should be filtered for free any way. If it isn't it's a crap email provider.
