Yes it is, in Outlook 2003 anyway. Al you have to do is go to the bit where you work with an email address, select "new email address", select "http", then follow the instructions for entering your hotmail account.
When sending an email, make sure you click on the "accounts" button on the message to make sure you have selected the email address you want to use. Sorry the instructions aren't more precise, but my Outlook is in Dutch and I ain't sure that going through it step by step in Dutch would help you!

In Outlook 2007
Tools
Account Settings
data files
then select your Personal Folders
Settings
Then Change Password

Although I am not sure how secure the password is on 2007, on earlier versions it could be 'cracked' very easily and without any delay.

Once you have set the password, close outlook and then open it again.
It will ask for the password, if the password is not supplied or is wrong, outlook will close, and not give access to the hotmail account (or outlook acount) . The hotmail account password is nothing to do with outlook as such, it just needs that password to get and send your mail.
