You're off topic for this forum, which is dedicated to Windows Live OneCare.
If you are not using the Outlook Connector, only paid accounts (and some legacy MSN accounts) have access to Hotmail/MSN mail via Outlook natively using POP. If you were using Outlook to connect to the http account without the Outlook Connector, once your account switched, the method for connecting via Outlook via http without the Connector may have been disabled.
