For those who have issues, set it up as directed. Log out of the hotmail account, then try to do the Gmail downloading instructions. I was frustrated as it didn't work at first but after logging out of Hotmail, it seemed to allow my gmail access. Another hint: at the "Country" put United Kingdom. Took a while to find that for me to be able to input the constituent country as England. Good luck!

Working for sure, but cost a whole day of searches and trying. You need to log out and log in – this is the key. Then you'll see msn.com with all that fancy shit, instead of mailbox. And now you can go and change your data back.

Thanks buddy for helping all of us.

It didn't work for me either. Any one have a clue. Did microsoft find out the trick?
not working for me…anyone had the same problem??
what can I say,, you are a genius. it works on my US account too. I also switch back to US and it still works. you are the man.
First in Spanish
No mames K, funciona de a madre, nomás faltó incluir en la guía el truco de salirte y volver a entrar al correo para que funcione.
Now on English
Wow, it´s fucking amazing, the only thing missing in the tutorial was the Log out – Log in trick.
Thank you
Yeah, it finally worked
All I had to do was to sign out and sign back in!
Thanks
it did work for me!
I changed both work and home address to Canada, log out, log in again and it worked
THANKS!
This worked for me on my iPod touch with my Windows Live email address but I had to go into settings and change my Region to United Kingdom. If that doesn't work for you, try switching your timezone to London, England as well, but I found that I could switch the timezone back to a US city. Thanks!
So I tried this but it still doesn't work for me!
Gmail says: Server denied POP3 access for the given username and password.
Please contact Microsoft's support team for more information on POP access.
Server returned error: "user does not have POP3 access"
Any clue on why this is happening? How would I see if my email is linked to another email?
This doesnt work for me even after unlinking my accounts. Any ideas
The hack didn't work with my account which was linked with another account. After I unlinked them, this worked like a charm
Awesome! worked for my US account.
switched it back to US and it still works. Thanks,
Why not support SMTP. If I open some email, using pop it just open locally (exp it show open on my outlook but on http://www.hotmail.com it still close). Now is the time of mobile. Many tiny little hardware have internet access and can access internet. Using pop is complicate because you have to choose leave a copy or take all to HDD.
