Short answer is no. There may be third-party programs to essentially make your Hotmail available at some POP address, but they would more than likely be a violation of Hotmail's TOS.

People keep saying that if you're using the paid version of Hotmail
that it has POP, so the short answer would then be (if it's true),
"Not unless you're using the paid version"

If this is really important you can get an account at fastmail.fm or fusemail.com to do this, but these accounts (services) are not free.   Fastmail has a free level that does scrape hotmail accounts, but in order to forward them you have to purchase a one time membership I think about 10 dollars US

if you are on MSNhotmail and not the basic/free hotmail, you can
pop...
if on the paid,
click help and settings
then email
then copy email
and go thru the steps offered to you...
you might have to sign off hotmail, wait 15 minutes for their cycle
and then log on again...
