I have read, somewhere, that Windows Live has relented, and extended the
cutoff date for turning off WebDAV support past June 30, 2008. The extension
was "indefinite".
Since you are willing to pay for email service, I'd recommend Fastmail. For
a fee you get SMTP access, as well as IMAP access (free accounts are IMAP
only, no SMTP).

I'd suggest getting the account, using MSOE to move your email from the
Windows Live Hotmail folders to the Fastmail IMAP folders; then, when you
are satisfied that all is working as desired, pursuing a refund from Windows
Live for the unused portion of the subscription. Probably a lot cheaper, and
easier, than a lawsuit.
