My desktop was getting really messy, so I decided to do a fresh install of Ubuntu. After a fresher install of 32 bit ubuntu on my shiny 64 bit system I decided to consolidate all my email accounts on one box. The problem was that there were no straight instructions on how to get IMAP and SMTP working for student.chalmers.se accouts since their move to outlook.com
Personally I don’t mind MS Exchange based email servers as long as they are configured to run in some what standard mode. To my surprise I could actually get email out of the system, thanks to a French blogger.
I wonder if I can do the same for hotmail (well it’s already being forwarded to my gmail account 
You can also use outlook.com as pop3 server, using TLS. It's somewhere in the outlook website's documentation (actually it was Camilo who referred me to it. I was also surprised).It's a real blessing to be able to use Icedove/Thunderbird's spam filter, as outlook.com's spam filter is light years behind Hotmail's, which is absurd but not too surprising.
I use gmail to get my Exchange-based university email over POP3, works fine for me. Don't really need SMTP since I want to reply using my gmail account anyway.
Hej !How did you manage to POP OWA mails to gmail without messing up the headers ? I did not find any option to do that ! or did I miss it !
