I'm in the US. I did the following in hotmail:

1. Login to Hotmail.
2. Mouse over Options, and then click on More Options.
3. Click on View and edit your personal information link under “Manger your account” section.
4. Click on Registered Information link.
5. For both Home Location and Work Location, change the following details to specified values: Postal Code: WC1B 3DG
   Constituent Country: England
   Time zone: London, United Kingdom - GMT
   
6. Click on Save when done.
7. Go back to Hotmail, and ensure that the display language of Hotmail is set to English by mouse over the Options.
8. Configure your email client or other webmail service (Gmail configuration to access Hotmail via POP3) to access and download Hotmail Inbox via POP3 protocol, using the Hotmail POP3 and SMTP configuration settings.
9. The email client or another mail service provider should be able to access, login and download or send through Hotmail without error.
10. Once Hotmail POP3 and SMTP support is enable on the account, it’s possible to change and revert back to your original web interface language, home and work location.

Then on my phone:

POP server: pop3.live.com
Authentication type: SSL
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live


SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Autentication type: use TLS
