Are there IMAP Windows Live Hotmail accounts? I am willing to pay to upgrade my POP Hotmail account to IMAP.

POP is old technology and Google and Apple are already based around IMAP.

I am happy to pay to upgrade my hotmail POP to hotmail IMAP.

Otherwise I will need to migrate my main email address away from Microsoft to either Gmail or Apple Me mail

Many thanks
