Using/Setting up a e-mail Account on iPod Touch

I have been able to setup and use my yahoo email on my iPod Touch but I am trying to do the same with my msn/hotmail email. How do I set this up and how can I obtain the the information from Microsoft for this to work? Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Thanks

Microsoft chose not to use the industry standard POP or IMAP protocol when developing MSN and Hotmail. So, I'm sorry to tell you that a free Hotmail or MSN account will not work with the iPod. However, if you decide to pay a fee to Microsoft, they will upgrade your account so that you'd be able to use your Hotmail account as POP.
