For an MSN.com account?
Microsoft recently enabled POP access for free Hotmail/Live accounts.
Follow the settings given here:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

Although it accepts the newer Live.com addresses, Windows Mail's
account setup wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail and MSN addresses.
So, when you enter your Hotmail/MSN email address initially, use a fake
one, such as (e-mail address removed). After the account setup is complete,
go back and correct your email address.
