    I don't think there's any way you can do this yourself. Reading mail
    doesn't leave any trails in the mail itself. The information is in the
    mail provider's logs -- if they're not willing to provide it for you, I
    don't think there's much you can do.

    If you really want to pursue this, you might need to take legal action.
    Hotmail will presumably help out if there's a court order.
