Thanks to the great idea factory that is Microsoft, I am trying to get away from using Hotmail (now called Outlook and hideously decked out in an 8 bit color scheme). Like many folks though, I don't want to give up my email address so I am going to use Thunderbird to check my web email accounts. The upside is that I can move all my accounts into one client and flip the bird to Microsoft who won't get my eyes on their ads since I won't have to use the web email.
First I went here:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
I installed it, and entered my hotmail account and password info. It automagically found the settings for hotmail. Then it started downloading my years of saved hotmail emails, putting me on the path to ditching the "new" Outlook and it's ads.
A more detailed set of instructions are here - though they are not really necessary since after install it will find the settings for hotmail:
