If you want POP3, Windows LIVE Mail affords that

You don't have to have any account. It is part of Windows
Essentials.

Downloading it and using it are two different things.


I've been using WLM since 2009 when W7 came out and I never *had* to
have a MS account, but if you choose to do so it will save your contacts
in case you ever have to reformat your computer. It saved me a LOT of
time a while back. I also installed WLM 2009 on a laptop running Win XP
because it's better than OE.
