Yes , you can now...here is some info on setting up for POP3 that you may need when configuring your mail settings...

POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes

It was all on this thread about a month ago. Seems to work for most people, but possibly not if your hotmail account was set up more recently.

And I haven't found a way to work with mail folders with hotmail on the touch...

To do that you'd need an SMTP access to your mailbox which isn't possible with Hotmail I don't believe. Maybe again with old accounts...
