POP3 is a mail protocol that allows almost any e-mail software program that you have installed on your mobile phone or PC.In computing, the Post Office Protocol (POP) is an application-layer Internet standard protocol used by local e-mail clients to retrieve e-mail from a remote server over a TCP/IP connection. It is use to get mails from your Hotmail Inbox and deliver them in the designated program.
Microsoft has enabled POP3 email access for all users of their Hotmail email service. If you don't have premium account hotmail will not support pop3.
