Iphone help

Gday fellas. since there seems to be so many smart iphone cookies in this club i figured id ask the question here. how do i set up my hotmail account to be used as my email account thingy for the iphone?? im retarded when it comes to this sort of stuff. eg i have no idea what the hell the difference between the IMAP and POP options are once you have put basic account info in. and like what i need to do for inoming and outgoing mail server thingies.

Cheers guys

i guess this is gods way of punishing me for picking on the geeks in school

hotmail doesnt allow the iphone to access the pop server.
so long story short, unless you pay for your hotmail and ask to have it enabled your iphone cant get to hotmail thru the mail application.
you need to access it thru safari.

there may be a downloaded application specific for hotmail but im not aware of it.
