ICS and Hotmail

Ok - I've had the same problems with ICS as everybody else here (and every other forum). Some questions were answered by people here (which I appreciate - and then I go help someone else out on other forums).
[Just FYI - before someone mentions clearing your cache, I've already done that and switched from Global to CDMA/LTE - plus a bunch of other tips I've received - or found on my own. The battery life IS better than before I cleared my cache, but still not as good as with GB, so I'll wait for the 'official fix' like everyone else.]
In the meantime, I have one problem I can't figure out how to fix (at least not yet). I have a bunch of email accounts (Optonline to my Outlook (which is Cablevision's service), Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail.
This has to do specifically with Hotmail.
Before ICS, I'd get my Hotmail msgs. whenever it felt like pushing them. It was erratic, but I eventually got them. Sometimes, I'd get them manually if I wanted them right away. When I would delete them, it would also delete them from the server, so when I went on the PC, they'd be in the 'Deleted' folder. Annoying, but I could live with it. What *did* work was this:
Let's say I got 10 Hotmail msgs. on my phone and then deleted them (so there would be 0 msgs. in the Inbox). Next time it 'pushed', I'd get 5 more msgs. Let's say I left them there. Third time it pushed, let's say I got 7 more msgs. (for a total of 12 msgs. in the Inbox). Let's say I deleted them all (leaving 0 msgs.) Fourth time, it pushed, I'd get 15 msgs. (for a total of 15 msgs. in the Inbox).
Now (after ICS), let's say I get 10 msgs. in the Inbox. I delete them all, leaving 0 msgs. Next time it pushes, I get 12 *new* msgs. in my Inbox, BUT the initial 10 msgs. (which I already deleted) show up again (for a total of 22 msgs. in my Inbox. I delete 22 msgs. (leaving 0 msgs.) Third time it pushes, I get 6 more msgs. in my Inbox, BUT the initial 10 msgs. AND the next 12 msgs. are still there (for a total of 28 msgs. in my Inbox). I delete them all again, leaving 0 msgs.
And on and on and on.
Before I cleared my cache on the Maxx, I was up to something like 300+ msgs. After I cleared my cache, it went back to zero, but now it's starting all over again.
My question is: I know I can clear the cache for certain individual apps., but how do I clear my Hotmail cache (without having to clear the cache for my entire phone like I did yesterday)?
Any help would be appreciated as always...
Edit: I've already Removed the Hotmail account and Added it again. Didn't help.

Thanks, but I already tried that. I cleared every app's. cache one by one, after I did the global cache. That didn't work either.
However, I did find something that did work and it's even better. There's a free app. called "Microsoft + SEVEN" (which is the only approved app. for Hotmail). I downloaded it, set it up and now I get all my folders (which are synced). After I made sure it worked ok, I removed my Hotmail account from the generic 'email' app. (while leaving the others there - which work fine).
[There must be something specific about Hotmail which does not play well with ICS. But then again, it seems as if ICS doesn't play too well with a lot of things.]
Thanks anyway though - appreciate your time...

ICS and Hotmail/MSN Server Deletion Issues

Hello all,
I am posting here after not finding an answer to my question. I am an active member on 3rd party forums and asked my question, but no help received.
Here is my problem. My hotmail/msn account will sync fine with my phone, but when I delete an email on my phone, it deletes the email on the server (well reloates the email to a POP folder). This was NOT the case with gingerbread. This is an account I share with my wife as our family email address, and it is not ok to delete it when my wife does not see it. It is also not convenient to move the email to a POP folder. I need to be able to delete emails locally on my phone only, with no deletion occurring on the mail server.
I have tried removing/reinstalling, using the hotmail app, and manually setting up the email account. With none of these helping I decided to bite the bullet and restore the phone....oh gawd, just a waste of 2 hours with setup.
Any help would be appreciated here, as my contact with Verizon yesterday yielded no results either. If any of this makes no sense please let me know.

Hello there Jaingo,
I totally understand the need of saving those e-mails. I found some helpful information on how to delete e-mails from device but not off server. Follow this link to find out how: http://www.midcocomm.com/resourcecenter/index.cfm/645/MidcoNet-Xstream--Email/Email-Setup---Droid-Razr
Let us know if the issue persists.
Thank you,

Hello Sophie59
You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

I'm note a firefox geek, but ever since my friend told me to install NoScript I can not access my msn and hotmail page. It tells me that Java Script is required, what ever that is. What do I do next. Do I uninstall the No Script. Thanks Ed

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

Why is my wife's hotmail account on her iphone draining her battery with usage and standby being the same? My iphone and hotmail does not do this.

My wife and I both have an Iphone 5 and hotmail accounts.
We are on the same wifi and I have restored and reset her phone several times, but whenever I add her hotmail account to her phone, the phone is always in use according to the usage. also the phone becomes warm as if it was in use for several hours. The standby time is only about 2-3 hours before dying. However, removing her hotmail account, stops this. What about the hotmail account is causing this?

What you're describing is the expected behaviour. I believe though that is also is the easiest way to have all the contents available to both of you at all times. If you have a spacious hard drive you should probably allow this to happen as anything else will be harder to manage.
My suggestion would be the following if you want to try something different.
Store all your music at a location that is accessible by both of you — an example would be to use your Public Folder as the locations where iTunes will go and look for all the media files—. Your wife does have access to it.
In the Finder you will need to move the folder name iTunes Music to the location in your Public Folder (see above). Once that's done, you and your wife will have to go into the iTunes Preferences > Advance Preferences and un-check Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. From this point on, you can continue to use iTunes as usual. You'll need to tell your wife what has been newly downloaded/imported into your iTunes so she can manually go look for those items in that Public Folder iTunes of yours and import them into her iTunes. She will not duplicate by doing that, but, like I say this is an all-manual work.
She can do the same, so you have access to contents she imported herself. One more downside of this is that both usernames have to be active in your iMac. If yours isn't, she won't be able to access any item (song, book, app) located in your Public Folder's iTunes.
I'm sure there's a way, if you have an router with external hard drive conectivity, for both of you to be able to access —independently— the iTunes Media at all times but I was just reading at another post that doing so can further complicate things.
Hope this helps. Please let me know what you think or decide to do.

Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro

Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro. I have tried safari and firefox. I have unloaded and reloaded an old version of firefox and still no luck. When go to ebay it opens but looks very weird. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.6 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am so frustrated, I have tried everything I can think of and still no luck.

Good of you to offer the detail you did (a lot of people don't bother) but it still is not quite enough. Texting that it "looks very weird" just leaves me blank. Most basic remedy for browser issues is to use Safari to google "adobe flash" and download a fresh file & install. Can't think of anything else given what you've posted....

After Mountain Lion update, i can't access Facebook and Hotmail websites

When I was with the OSX Lion, everything was fine.
After Mountain Lion update, i can't open Facebook and Hotmail websites.
I already reinstalled the Mountain Lion, but the error still happens. The only way to open these websites is with the private navigation.
Please, help me.

From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari > Preferernces then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If you still have problems with Facebook, go to the Facebook page then click the downward facing arrow to the right of Home then click Account Settings.
Select Security on the left then click Secure Browsing.
Select the box next to: Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possiblle then click Save Changes.

Push mail is not working for gmail and hotmail on ...

i have been using my nokia e72 since february 2011. i had two mailbox configured, gmail and hotmail. Until last week, everything was fine. but suddenly my push mail stopped working for both gmail and hotmail.
when i noticed this, i removed both of my mailboxes and tried to create a new one. when trying to create a Gmail mailbox, it goes fine upto "downloading terms". after that, when i choose to connect to "nokia messaging service", it creates a mailbox named "HOTMAIL" instead of "GMAIL". it takes only my user name for Gmail and rest of the settings are for HOTMAIL.
if i choose not to connect to "nokia messaging service" then it works quite well. but thats not real push mail. it will check my email every 5 mins. but when tried to create a "HOTMAIL" mailbox, i had no luck. no matter how i try, hotmail mailbox can't download my mail. and as hotmail don't support IMAP, its very disgusting to use "POP3" if i choose not to connect to nokia messaging.
i have tried to reset the phone using *#7370# and *#7730#, but no luck. i also tried reinstalling the firmware using ovi suite, but i didn't had any luck either.
please help me, i am very disappointed with this kind of problem specially from nokia.
someone please do help. i m in a huge mess.

delete the account and re-add it.

How do I add different cookies to youtube and hotmail?

Actually this is really simple:
When I enter hotmail.com, I save my setting to enter automatically
And when I open Youtube, it enters my account automatically, but my
Youtube email and my Hotmail e-mail are different.
Can I add a cookie to Youtube and another to Hotmail, insted of
just one to " google.com" ??
(sorry if somebody already asked this, I couldn't find anything )

'''''"Can I add a cookie to Youtube and another to Hotmail, insted of just one to " google.com" ?? "'''''
Since when are Hotmail and YouTube associated with each other?
AFAIK, YouTube is owned by Google, and Hotmail is owned by Microsoft and is a part of WindowsLive.

Droid Bionic battery dying since ICS and 4G

I have owned my Bionic for just over a year. Recently I upgraded to ICS and last Friday Nov. 9th our area went to 4G. My battery is dying quickly......Example...as of 10:03AM my phone has been on for 3 hours, the screen shows that it has been on for 31 minutes, and I am down to 70% battery after a full charge. I did do a factory reset yesterday due to issues with the Android OS using up over 40% of battery - now it is at 28%. I have turned down screen brightness, lengthened updates, I have wi-fi turned off as I do not use it, etc. I don't want to have to limit everything, or it really isn't worth having the phone.
Phone completely dies each night around 10 with light use.
Any ideas without considering a new phone?

That certainly is a strange phenomenon, veriozonjj68117. Clearing the cache http://vz.to/P5s0JC and temporary internet files http://vz.to/rYO9Ym can sometimes help. The system cache clearing that ginnypres mentioned are:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select
That is a fantastic way of helping to clear out all the cookie crumbs on your phone and a great step before the need to resort to resetting http://vz.to/nExWmP the device.

Why is firefox crashing every time I try to compose or reply to email in Gmail and Hotmail?

After I upgraded to Firefox 10, I can open gmail and hotmail, read email, but if I try to compose an email, or reply to an existing one, it crashed. Also, just now when I tried to fill in this box here with firefox, it crashed. I am now using Chrome, and will continue to do so until there is a solution. This crashing thing is more than a little annoying.
