I have mailwasher pro as my spam checker and am satisfied with it; it
collates my emails and from there I can access outlook.
I also set it up to check my hotmail account and while it can do that I get
annoyed at having to go separately to hotmail in order to process these
emails or reply to them etc.; as a result I discontinued the hotmail account
in mailwasher.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set up mailwasher to collect my emails
for outlook and hotmail and then send them on to outlook?
Thank you

Mailwasher neither supports WebDAV (the old script language with the
pre-coded command set to connect to Microsoft's HTTP mail hosts) or the
new DeltaSync (to replace WebDAV). WebDAV was how your e-mail client
used to connect to Hotmail. It gets disabled in June 2008 to get
replaced with DeltaSync. POP3 access to Hotmail disappeared back in
2000 for MSN accounts and back in 2002 for Hotmail accounts (legacy
accounts continued to have POP3 access) and then reappeared in November
2007 but *only* if you have a Hotmail Plus (paid) account. You did not
mention if you have a free or paid Hotmail account.

Firetrust's own FAQ mentions how to get connected to Hotmail:

Although you can use the Outlook Connector plug-in in Outlook 2003/2007,
Microsoft's Windows Live Mail client, or Thunderbird with the Webmail
plug-in to connect to freebie Hotmail accounts (because they understand
DeltaSync), Mailwasher runs as a separate e-mail program.

You can try using FreePOPs. It isn't easy to setup but not super hard
and they have a forum to help out. Retrieving emails will be very slow.
As it name says, it is a POP proxy. That means you can retrieve
e-mails. It is not an SMTP proxy so you cannot send e-mails. You'll
have to use your ISP's SMTP server for that. Expect flaky operation
trying to use FreePOPs. Start visiting their forum.
