Hello Anthony,
We need to know your ISP or Mail Provider(s) to be specific, many use different port, protocols, & Authentication methods.

What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

Access the homescreen and tap "Settings."
Go to "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" and tap "Add Account." Your iPhone should display a list of email service providers. Even though you are setting up a Hotmail account, you will be doing it first through Gmail on your iPhone. Tap the Gmail icon to create a new account. Enter your name and a user name and password for the new Hotmail account you will be making later. Enter "imap.gmail.com" in the "HostName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen.
Enter your name, email address, password, and the description of the account. Next, click "Save." You should now be able to check your email from the homescreen.
Enter "smtp.gmail.com" in the "Outgoing Mail Server." Enter the password for this Gmail account in the "Password" column. Enter user name for this Gmail account in the "UserName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen. Press the "Home" button to return to the iPhone's home screen.
Use the Web browser to go to Hotmail.com and create a new account. Use the user name and password for the account that you entered into the Gmail account on the iPhone earlier. Click on “Settings” after the account has been created.
Click on the "Settings" tab. Click on the "Forwarding" tab. Click on the "Pop/IMAP" tab and select "Enable IMAP." Click on the "Save” button. Click on “Settings” and select “Accounts” and then “Add Another Email Address” from the webpage. Enter the name of your existing Hotmail account in the column. Press “Save.”
Go to the inbox. Open the message from Gmail and click on the link in the message box. Select the “Options” tab and check the “Forwarding email” box.
Send yourself a message to your Hotmail account from an email client. Click on the icon of the Mail program at the bottom of the iPhone’s screen. The email you sent to Hotmail will appear in the inbox of the Gmail account in the iPhone's email.

Hotmail incoming mail server question

What is the Hotmail incoming mail server? Thanks.

What do you mean you want to change that?
Does that not work in your Mail? The incoming server for your Hotmail account in the Mail.app is this: hotmail.com
It should work just fine when you type that in.

Incoming and Outgoin server name for Hotmail

Dear All,
Can anyone please help with the Incoming and Outgoin server names for Hotmail account.I am trying to set up my hotmail account on my i phone.Has anyone been succesful at doing this?

You can configure Hotmail to work on the iPhone. It's working great on mine!! You have to upgrade to a Hotmail Plus account (although, apparently they will be offering POP3 on free accounts, as well, sometime within the next year). It sounds like POP3 on the paid Hotmail accounts is something that was just "officially" enabled last week. I found an official announcement from one of the Lead PMs for Hotmail - take a look, here:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!44348.entry
I just upgraded my Hotmail account to Hotmail Plus yesterday and now my mail works from my iPhone (it was not working yesterday before I upgraded my account). Here are the iPhone mail settings I am using successfully (the email addresses and passwords are just examples, of course):
Account: On
*Account Information:*
Name: John Smith (note: enter your own name)
Address: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Description: Hotmail
*Incoming Mail Server:*
Host Name: pop3.live.com
User Name: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Password: password (note: enter your Hotmail password)
*Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):*
Host Name: smtp.live.com
User Name: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Password: password (note: enter your Hotmail password)
*Advanced Settings:*
Incoming Uses SSL: On
Outgoing Uses SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: When removed from Inbox (or your preferred option)
That's it - I hope everything works for you, as well. Good luck!

HT4864 How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail? It's grayed out.

How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail? It's grayed out.
I ask this because I have suddenly stopped receiving most e-mails in Mail. I've found that my incoming mail server (p01-imap.mail.me.com) is different from what the Apple mail setup assistant recommends (mail.me.com), but I cannot change it because it is grayed out. Any ideas?

I'm afraid that AFAIK you've gone through the card. You could try Support, though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

What is the smtp incoming mail server for iCloud?

There is no such thing as an "SMTP incoming mail server." You set up iCloud mail by checking the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane. You don't need to know the addresses of the servers.

The settings are not generic for all webmail accounts, only your office IT department would know what the server address is for their outgoing email server. You'll have to ask them about it.

My incoming mail server stopped working for the 3rd time Help?

This is the third time my incoming mail server stopped working any suggestions on how to repair this?
Thank You!

If Apple replaced the logic board three times for the same issue, and the third board has now broken for the same reason, you may be able to ask Apple for a replacement machine. You're out of warranty, and Apple is under no obligation to do anything for you (unless the current logic board was replaced by Apple less than 90 days ago in which case it's still under warranty), however, as a good will gesture, they may be willing to exchange your system for another one. You can start at the Apple store or call Apple customer care directly.

HT2954 it keeps asking for incoming mail server

For some reason my mail has stopped working. The page keeps asking for an incoming mail server. I put in imap.mail.me.com and that is not working. Also, I can't put in my Google mail either. Has apple just stopped using the mail feature? I had a mobile me account and switched to ICloud and now I have all kind of glitches.
Very frustrated.

IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.

HT4864 How do I construct the preferences in mail for the incoming mail server?

I need help in setting up the preferences for mail, especially for the servers. I followed setting up an account and
when I encountered the incoming mail server box, it didn't allow keying anything into it. It is blocked; and with the outgoing server, the choices aren't
clear.
Then when I try using mail, it won't let me send or receive mail saying I can't leave the incoming box empty or that it can't contactr the outgoing server`so I should see iCloud preferences.

Not unless you know which file in the app sets the choices. I've been through it pretty thoroughly and can't find the one.
