why do they include:

You can either hit the Enter key on the keyboard, or the Back softkey button to get rid of the keyboard, and then tap Manual setup, followed by POP3 account.

The username/password should already be filled in for you - though be sure to add the "@__.com" part, it likes to leave that part out. For the rest of the boxes, use the following:

POP3 Server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Security Type: SSL
Delete Mail from Server: Never

And hit Next again. For the Outgoing settings:

SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Security Type: TLS
Leave the login part alone

seems like i can just do the first part.... why the manual stuff?

You can also use the email app to receive your gmail. About the only reason do to this is if you dont want you gmail instantly but on an interval like the email app gives you the option to

Okay, I struggled with this same question for a while. There has to be a way to get hotmail pushed to my phone, it worked like that perfectly on my old Blackberry. Luckily, I found out that Hotmail now provides Activesync through Exchange, meaning you no longer need to mess with unreliable POP3.

Here is the link to instructions on setting this up: Microsoft exchange activesync for hotmail

Everything has worked great since I set it up.

setting up Hotmail is as simple as mentioned above! One NOTE that level 2 VZW techs pointed out to me that was helpful ..... when setting up email DO NOT set up Hotmail and Gmail under the email tab/widget. Use the Gmail icon for Gmail otherwise the phone gets confused. I had a problem with my email not syncing at scheduled times (5 minutes) ... since I deleted gmail from my email widget it works fine. Kinda of ironic that a "smartphone" gets confused with something as simple as email ....

I don't use widgets for email but I do use the email app for both my gmail and hotmail. But tours a good tip for those who do
