Free Hotmail POP3 on iPhone

It seems back in January this year Microsoft decided it was about time to allow free POP3 access to free Hotmail accounts. In the past this feature was only available to paid users. Yes, although I do not use hotmail account for anything important other than using it for signing up for random/unimportant websites, it is still very handy to have POP3 access even it is for downloading your spam messages.
