Hotmail is a web-based email service and does not support POP3/SMTP/IMAP protocols.

IMAP is a protocol, which is used to retrieve email from an email server.

Hotmail does not use IMAP - it is a webmail provider. This link explains what IMAP is:

With the T68m, any email server that supports POP3. With the T68i, any email server that supports POP3 and/or IMAP4. My company mail server uses both POP3 and IMAP4, as an example.
