As of late last month MSN now gives Hotmail Plus Users POP3 access which works great on the Iphone but as far as I know it doesn't work if your e-mail address ends in @msn.com instead of @hotmail.com like mine???

Here are the iPhone mail settings I am using successfully (the email addresses and passwords are just examples, of course):
