True- http is not an option on any pop-mail client to my knowledge. FWIW, I was still using win98/outlook when ms discontinued support for pop clients on free hotmail accounts. However, it was still available for premium (paid) accounts. Also, on Ubuntu/Firefox, I get "You are viewing the original version of Live Mail. The full version only supports Windows."
IOW, unless you have a paid account, you're most likely stuck using the browser to view whatever ms will allow.
Cheers
