How Do I Find Settings for Hotmail/MSN Server?

[or_peb]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

How do I find the settings that support my Hotmail/MSN account? I plan on installing Snow Leopard in a few days and I want to take advantage of its Exchange server functionality so I can have full access to my Hotmail/MSN account while using my MacBook. Apple Support indicated that they can help me set up my Hotmail/MSN account but I need to have my server settings. I went to my service provider, Verizon, but they said that they no longer support Hotmail and they can't help me.

AFAIK, Hotmail is not available via Exchange server. You will need to set it
up as POP. If you want to keep your mail on the server, get a Gmail IMAP
account.
