Retrieving Web Based email into default email program

I have a mini Mac and would like to set it up to retrieve my web based
hotmail. MSN is our server as we live in a remote area and can only get
dial up It is such a pain to be at a website, click the email link
and have my Mac's email program open up. It would just be easier if I
could use it instead of webmail.
When i tried to set it up, it asked for my "incoming mail server". I've
asked MSN for this info and they just keep passing me off to someone
else, who passes me off to someone else. It is so frustrating. Does
anyone know this information? Or is there a special way to set it up? I
could use any help yo could give me please.
Thank You,
Donna
