Answer 1

If you are using Outlook 2007/2010 and Hotmail, you should download the Outlook Connector if you want REAL synchronization and not POP3. It is part of the Live Essentials pack.

Answer 2

A lot of times, you will have to enable IMAP or POP access to your mail. This would be on the mail website settings area where it would need to be enabled (This is at least the case with Google Mail).
