Setting up hotmail account on ipad 2

i need to set up hotmail account on ipad how do i do that?

You actually now have the option to set up Hotmail as an Exchange account (a HUGE plus). Here are directions:
Microsoft recently announced that it it now allowing users to connect their iPhones, iPads and iPod touches to its free webmail service – Windows Live Hotmail – via Exchange ActiveSync. Before, the only option for Hotmail users wanting to access their email on the go was to set up their accounts via POP3 or login via a web browser. Because the POP3 protocol does not reflect changes to email statuses (whether read, deleted, etc) with the server version, so your emails end up out of sync. Exchange ActiveSync, on the other hand, reflects your changes across all devices. Plus, it means all your new Hotmail messages can be pushed directly to your iPhone or iPad.
Even better, setting it up on your iPhone or iPad is relatively simple (and thankfully, the same process on either device):
Open Settings and select ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars’.
Select ‘Add account’, and choose ‘Microsoft Exchange’.
For ‘Email’, enter your Hotmail email address ([email protected], for example).
Leave the ‘Domain’ field blank, but enter your Username (probably [email protected]) and Password (hopefully not yourname1234).
Give the account a description (this will appear in the Email app to identify the account). Select Next.
After that has verified, a new field – ‘Server’ – will appear. Enter m.hotmail.com in this field. Select Next again.
Choose which services you want to sync (Mail, Contacts and Calendars), and you’re done.
You can also set up how many days worth of mail you want to sync across and which folders should push emails to you.
To set up whether you want your email pushed to your phone (it’s an all-or-none decision if you have multiple Push-enabled accounts), go back to ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars’, and select ‘Fetch New Data’. Here you can toggle Push on/off or choose to fetch data every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, hourly or manually (the latter will go easiest on your battery).

Setting up hotmail account

Hi guys
I would like to have my hotmail account running very well together my BB Curve 8310 but it not happens. I succeed to include hotmail as my third e-mail account but it is not able to receive all of the e-mails. Sometimes I receive one but visiting the account thru the PC I can see many there. Why I am not able to receive all of them? When I concluded to set up the hotmail account I received an e-mail informing that I should configure the server or something like that but how to do it if hotmail can only be accessed thru www.hotmail.com or windows live?
Is there a specific tutorial step by step which could help me to set up it properly?
Many thanks
FRB

Setting up hotmail account with N85

I have gmail in my n85 and it works fine, i want to set up my hotmail account too but i can´t find the hotmail settings?!!
Can anyone help me please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In order to access e-mail throughan e-mail client like Outlook on a PC or the mail client in a Nokia phone, your email account must provide you access to a POP or IMAP server for incoming mail and an SMTP server for outgoing mail.
The free Hotmail service is only a web-based service, I don't know what they charge for further services because I don't use them personally, this information should on the MSN / Hotmail web sites.

Set up Hotmail account in Mail

I don't know how to set up my hotmail account in Mail. I need to know what is the name of the incoming/outgoing server and as well what type of server it is. I have contact hotmail staff but they told me that this feature is not possible so far in Mac, but I am surprise about this answer. Has somebody tried so far of mac user that have hotmail accounts?
Thanks for the help!

I have just had this problem. I am at a loss while Apple will not give us a Mail application that supports http mail out of the box. Surely they realise that most people have a Hotmail or a similar free account... Makes me so angry
Anyway I am using the Daniel Parnell plug in:
http://www.versiontracker.com/developer/10364/Daniel+Parnell
It used to work faultlessly (and still does) but to get it working on an Intel machine you need to set Mail to open using Rosetta. You can do this using Finder, then Get Info, then check the Open in Rosetta box.

Any reason not to set up Hotmail account on ipod touch?

I have just purchased a new iPod Touch. My main mail account is with Apple Mail, and I have a mobileme account. I also have a free Hotmail account? Is there any reason not to set up this Hotmail account on my touch, along with my Mail account - glitches, conflicts, etc. I can live without it if necessary. If no problems, can you point me to a step-by-step instruction guide to set up the Hotmail account? Thanks!

You can use the web ... using Safari - go to www.hotmail.com - this should bring up a mobile version of the login page. Log in to Hotmail to see your mail. If you don't logout of Hotmail, but simply hit the touch Home button you will be able to recheck you mail just by launching Safari and selecting the pages icon (bottom right) and then selecting the Hotmail page. You will see a Refresh option (or you can touch the clockwise pointing arrow in the URL line).

Can't set up Hotmail Account - Account Setup Freezes midway through

I have a HotmailPlus account, and I've downloaded the httpmail plug-in, and I'm still having trouble setting up my hotmail account in Mail. At the point where I enter the incoming mail server (hotmail.com), then my username and password, the program says, "Checking connection" then stops. It's only possible from there to cancel, I can't continue.
Anyone have any ideas?

Okay, I figured out the solution to my own problem. I am running Tiger (10.4.3), and I had downloaded the 1.46 version of httpmail, which wasn't working even though it works for some people on the boards. So, I downloaded the Tiger version, and it works! Yippee! One small annoying problem solved!
Thanks.

Cannot set up hotmail account "setup could not finish, error in login, invalid credentials"

Two weeks ago I started getting messages to log back into one of my hotmail accounts that I had set up on my droid charge at the 'email icon'( I had 3 hotmail accounts and 1 gmail account setup there)
once I logged the password back in it worked again, but it began requesting that I log back into the account more and more frequently
Customer service recommended that I remove the account and then set it up again, I did this and it would not allow me to set it up again-"setup could not finish, error in login, invalid credentials"
I tried removing all acounts and then setting them up again, still could not set up the one hotmail account (same message)
Verizon store decided that I needed to 'wipe' my phone completely, after they wiped it two of my hotmail accounts refused to be set up (same error message)
I tried changing the passwords going to the accounts online on my computer (I can access all the accounts online)
Customer service stated that it must be the phone and sent me a refurbished phone, the refurbished phone is doing the exact same thing with the exact same error message
Any ideas?

When you setup the accounts, are you using the automatic or manual method to set them up?

Setting up Hotmail account on iPhone

Hi
I am trying to set up a Hotmail email address on iPhone, I launch Mail and it gives a list of easy setup options for exchange, gmial etc.. but none for Hotmail.
I choose 'Other' and enter in email address and password, it has a go but comes back with the error message saying unable to set account up...
Any clues ?
Thanks

I don't think you can use Hotmail. I gave my old iPod touch to a relative and I remember researching this at the time as he had a Hotmail account; something to do with the way Hotmail (which is Microsoft at the end of the day) deals with mail. Perhaps you could set up a Yahoo account and get it to retrieve your Hotmail messages or something but unless things have changed in the last 4 months or so your Hotmail account will not work with iPhone.

How do I set up hotmail account on MacBook Air - tried for 2 days now without success?

I have been trying to add a hotmail account on my new MacBook Air without success - searched on the net for 2 evenings now and still no success! Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong although I think it could be that I am not sure that the Exchange Server address I have used is correct. If anyone can help how to check I have the correct exchange server address, that would also be appreciated
Thanks!

Setting up hotmail accounts in Mail

Hi, how do I go about routing my hotmail accounts to mail? It seems like a logical step to make. I've been through the account setup but Mail is not seeing the server.
I'm guessing its a pretty common request but I couldn't find any specific information on it, and I don't have time to trawl the forums all afternoon, So I thought I'd ask in a new thread.
Can anyone help?
Thanks....

Hotmail don't provide POP/IMAP access so you can't configure a standard email application (such as Mail) to use it without extra software.
izymail and httpmail plugin (have a google for them) claim to be able to offer services such that you can use hotmail with a standard email program.
