Looks to me like you might be way off from your goal and perhaps making things much too complicated than necessary. Sending email from .Net via the SmtpClient class is a fairly simple process. Have a look here.

Here is a nice-looking tutorial for sending email via SmtpClient.

And here is a sample for reading pop3 email from Gmail (should be easy to change to Hotmail.)

Good luck!
