Can SMTP and POP3 in Dephi work on Hotmail?

I am working on a program to handle incoming and outgoing email. From my previous work, it is certain that I can manage certain email with ISP. For Hotmail, I cannot find any reference for the time being.

So I need to ask if some experts know about this and perhaps some hints for what is need to handle.

Hotmail used to have POP3 and SMTP mail servers.  But those were eliminated when Microsoft
added HTTP support for Hotmail in Outlook Express version 5.

Example,

tool/accounts/add/mail

choose Http as incoming mail server and the Hotmail selection becomes available
