Email client that supports Hotmail

[Faffer]

Hi

I've recently decided to try Linux Mint as an alternative to Windows (actually I am being a bit of a cheapskate and don't want to fork out for another copy of Windows 7 for my 2nd PC )

I am looking for an equivalent of Windows Live Mail for Linux - a mail client that can support multiple email accounts and will keep the folders I have set up within Hotmail, rather than just dump them all into one Inbox.

Does such an email client exist for Linux?

Thanks

I tried Thunderbird but it just downloaded all my emails into the inbox and did not recreate the folders I had set up in Hotmail. I even lost a few newly downloaded emails, but that may have been something I did without knowing.

I may give Evolution a try. Thanks.

Just had a brief look at Evolution and it appears not to support webmail directly, but supports POP, which Hotmail has the facility for, which is not quite what I am after. Again this will not keep the folder structure or synchronise the moving of emails between folders.

My search continues...
