Using Zoho Calendar with Windows Live Mail

Hi - we are looking at zohomail as our mail provider.

Can I check if we are able to use Windows Live Mail desktop client and use it with zoho calendar that is part of zoho mail?

Also, does it still support the free/busy view for an organisation?

I'm assuming that this feature mentioned in this old thread is still available?

We are also looking at using imap access and want to use the calendar via a desktop client as well.
