MSN changed their host names in June 2007. For paid MSN accounts (i.e. user@msn.com), try these POP settings:
Incoming Mail Server Host Name: pop3.live.com
Outgoing Mail Server Host Name: smtp.live.com:25
(Try leaving out the port number out if it doesn't work the first time.)
Leave the Incoming/Outgoing Uses SSL "ON" and Authentication on "Password". You shouldn't have to enter these, they are the defaults.
For me, it doesn't download as perfectly as on the MSN client on your computer, but you can at least send from your MSN account!
