How to fetch my mails from Hotmail

Hi everybody,    I am sorry to ask a question which is out of the scope of this list, 
but it so essential to me in keeping in consulting this list that I can't 
help.   I am a subscriber to this list and all the messages I receive reside in 
the the Hotmail (Microsoft hotmail.com) server. Every time I open, close, 
delete a message the browser reads back from the server. This means that for 
every message I open it takes atleast 30 seconds, other 30s for closing it, 
30s for reading another, 30s for closing, and so on so forth. No need to say 
that every day I need atleast 2 hours to read the list. I have tried to see 
if I can download the messge to my computer but hotmail doesn't to allow it. 
I know that other commercial e-mail server allow that.    Can anyone advise how to fetch them and keep them in my local
computer?

My configurations are:    1- Windows 95 running Netscape v.4.05    2- Linux Redhat 6.0 running Netscape v.4.??

Thanks in advance for your help and very sorry for going out of the subject

I. Shaame
