Hotmail failing on iphone 4

I have used hotmail for ages on a previous iphone 3 & also on the iphone 4. Since yesterday it is failing to update. I know the pasword & account are correct but it states this is the problem.
The OS is 4.3.3 (8J2)
Is anyone else having a problem? Is there a fault at present? Any ideas to getting it back up & running as I rely on this to remotely collect emails?

If you want a job done do it yourself I suppose....
There are many possible causes that I have seen to this problem.
What threw me off is that it occured so suddenly.
I have used a lot of networks.  Usually WPA2.  Since I got here... on this WEP network...
my mail stopped working for some bizarre reason.
The two error messages I kept REPEATEDLY getting were- "connection to server failed" and "password incorrect: enter the password for the"... blah.
I can't tell you for sure if time cured it but my solution was #4 on the following list
Common Solutions I found on the internet-
IF YOU ARE USING HOTMAIL ("@hotmail.com","@msn.com", or "@live.com")
Make sure your Email and Username are the same.  BOTH should end in "@hotmail.com"
Be ultra-sure you are typing in the username and password right
"m.hotmail.com" for the server, SSL on.
Keep your password on the shorter side- UNDER 16 characters.
I tried several.  I can vouch for up to 15 characters.
ALSO... as a side-note... caps are irrelevant in the email and username, just like on the computer.
IF YOU ARE USING GMAIL ("@gmail.com)
Something about a captcha code.  Probably outdated.  Worth reposting regardless for the sake of being thorough.

  • How can I use my hotmail on an Iphone

    What kind of system is hotmail is it an IMAP? I'm using my hotmail the most so I would like to know how can I use hotmail on an Iphone.

    MS does not use an industry standard email account protocol (IMAP or POP) for accessing a free Hotmail account with a non-MS email client. You can access a paid or Hotmail Plus account ($20/yr) as a POP account with the iPhone's email client and the same with any other email client on any platform - Mac or Windows PC.

    And what suggestion have you tried.

  • Unable to view links in email. Email is defined as 'Hotmail'. My IPhone 4S works fine. Both devices has been upgraded to IOS7.

      Unable to view links in email. Email is defined as 'Hotmail'. My IPhone 4S works fine. Both devices has been upgraded to IOS7.

    Calendars (and contacts) can "sync" between your MBP and your iPhone through iCloud because they really live on the iCloud servers and the two devices are clients. iCloud can accomplish much the same trick for email messages because the email really resides on iCloud email servers.
    If the email resides on some other server, that server is responsible for whatever syncing will be done. IMAP servers like the iCloud servers are built for such syncing; other mail servers may or may not be. iCloud would not be involved with email other than iCloud email.
    I understand Hotmail has been changing how their email servers are accessed. Check with Hotmail support for any changes you may need to make to keep up.

  • When i go on to hotmail on my iphone 4s i am unable to view messages in my subfolders which i have created. When i go on to my laptop and go to hotmail i can see them there. Please help

    When i go on my iphone 4s and go to my hotmail I cannot see the messages in my subfolders which i have created, however when i go on my laptop and go into my hotmail the messages can be viewed there. i have seen some discussions and solutions on how to view them so I tried adding an account being the microsoft exchane i put in the required info and it tells me it cannot create account that an identical hotmail account already exists... i may have done something wrong the first time i tried and somehow it has my info but nothing has worked...Please help me.

    Delete the account from you iPhone first (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>tap the account, tap Delete Account), then try setting it up as an Exchange account (see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/32784/sync-hotmail-with-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch -with-exchange-activesync/).

  • Message sending is failing from iPhone-4S.

    message sending is failing from iPhone-4S. As per suggested by network operator I have removed sim card and restarted the phone. I tried to reset network setting but no luck. Please let me know how to fix this issue.
    Thx,
    Deepak

    Did you search for it?
    Is it possible you moved it accidentally? Did you check inside folders?
    Check your restrictions:
    Settings > General > Restrictions
    If there are no restrictions set and you can't find it, you can always reset the home screen layout:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

  • Accessing HOTMAIL from my IPHONE.

    There has been a problem with accessing hotmail in the last few days.  I'm seeing that as of today, the problem is supposed to be fixed, (says that on Microsofts website) but i STILL cannot access hotmail from my iphone!  HELP!

    It appears Hotmail is having issues with mobile access to their servers:
    "Hotmail is working for all web users and POP-based accounts. Some mobile device users relying on EAS (Active Sync) may see problems accessing their email, calendar and contacts. We are working to restore their access."
    "Fixing the problem is taking longer than we hoped. We'll provide an update by Jan 11 12:00 PM. We apologize for the lengthy interruption in service. Jan 10 12:05 PM"

  • Hotmail settings for iPhone

    Does anyone know if you can add Hotmail settings to iPhone, for checking your Hotmail, email?

    Hi Gracie,
    The steps in this tread should provide the information your looking for.

    It does require the premium or paid hotmail account with POP access.

  • HT4623 The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying the picture: iTunes and a USB plug. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

    The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying a picture iTunes logo and a USB plug and black backgraound. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Lawrence.
    I've tried http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and other suggestions first, which turned out unrelated.
    I've finally fixed the issue by plugging the cable in the USB 3 ports in the back of PC instead of the ports in the front, the iTunes saw the phohe and the recovery started automatically.
    In the hindsight, I realized that the either the required prerequisite iTunes 11.1.5.5 update installed a USB driver incompatible with my PC's front side USB ports that I always used for my iPhone syncing prior or it was always
    incompatible, but worked in all modes except the recovery.
    Cheers,

  • When sending email via hotmail on both iPhone and iPad, I receive message an error occurred while delivering this message

    WHy all of a sudden, today, I can no longer send emails (via hotmail) from both iPhone 5s and ipad 2? I receive message that says "an error occurred while delivering this message".  I have no problem sending emails from PC.

    *** solved ***
    You have to add another SMTP server as following steps:
    Just go to hotmail acount setting
    Then click on SMTP in outgoing mail server
    Then click add server
    Host name: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    User name: your email
    Password: your password
    So now you can send mail
    Thanks

  • How can I set up hotmail on my iphone? i need some advice please..

    i can't set up hotmail on my iphone.. please can someone tell me how to do that. thankyou..

    Is it a paid account or a free account?
    The free accounts can not be set up on the iPhone because the free Hotmail accounts do not user one of the two email server standards, POP3 or IMAP (it uses a proprietary HTTP protocol) which the iPhone requires.
    You will need to upgrade to one of the paid hotmail accounts before you can get POP3 access for your email.
