It's been a while since I used that plugin, but I swear it had an automated option. If not, it would not be hard to add one, although this could cause a very long login delay and numerous support issues. That (amongst other obvious reasons) is why it may be better to run Fetchmail by cron on the server to gather external mails. Getting mails from services that don't specifically offer POP3 or IMAP is much more dicey in terms of whether or not you are violating any terms of service and also just in technical terms, since, as with Hotmail, I think it is done by what amounts to a screen-scrape, and is therefore greatly impacted by even the smallest interface change by Hotmail.
