I was wondering as a newbie, if there is a step by step solution to get MSN working on the N900.

My MSN account is xxxxxxxxx@live.com

I have installed PIDGIN and put in my account as above and my password, and it won't let me connect.
If I try setting it via the MSN (Haze) and put in the same details, it keeps saying .....Not Signed In.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
