there is no way you can do it directly.. you'd have to use a script like this

that'll put the mail in /var/spool/mail/username
from there you'd have to run a local pop3 server and connect to that to read your mail. To send mail you'd have to run a local smtp server. The problem with that is a lot of ISPs are blocking email being sent from known residental IP blocks. So your mail might not get sent to someone on aol.com
to make things simple i'd stick with using a browser to read your hotmail email
