Well, that's no longer true. The Hotmail account needs to be set up as a
Windows Live account and then it will work with the Outlook Connector, even
if free.

Not here it doesn't - I've converted my legacy Hotmail account to a
Windows Live account, installed the outlook Connector, and it STILL
tells me I can't subscribe unless I pay.

Funnily enough, I can receive and send perfectly well from my Hotmail
account in Thunderbird using an extension...way to go MS!

I believe it's the beta version that allows it. See

Thanks - it's obviously been fixed in version 2 as the previous beta which I
tried didn't work....
