Problem with Hotmail inbox only

Hello,
Everything was working just perfectly fine with my hotmail on iPhone 4S iOS 5.1.1 when suddenly it decided it wont download any messages older than a certain date & this applies only to inbox, where i've only 126 messages while for example the sent folder contains around a 1000 message.
I can't find my old emails anymore & it wont download no matter what, I tried to remove the account & re add it again twice but with no luck.
My settings are as follows:
Mail days to sync: No limit
Mail folders to puh: inbox
Show: 1000 recent messages.
Any help would be appreciated guys

Hi
I've had the same problem and have found a workaround which runs against the latest version of Belle OS:
(1) Make sure you have no Exchange mailbox set-up on your N8 (delete it if needed) and delete any existing hotmail mailbox too
(2) Choose add Exchange mailbox and add your hotmail details, putting your hotmail e-mail address as the e-mail address, your hotmail e-mail password as password and your hotmail e-mail address (in full e.g. [email protected]) as the username. Leave domain empty
(3) Give it time to sycn or do manually if you choose. Your hotmail folders should now be displayed in the N8 when you go in to that mailbox (look under 'folders' after selecting 'inbox' from the top left of the screen when in the inbox view) and you can then access e-mails stored in those folders. You may want to play around with the settings to get as many as possible accessible via your N8.
You can also hold down on an e-mail (as you might to delete it) and you will have an option to 'add to folder'
You should still be able to add a 'proper' Exchange mailbox (there is a limit of 1 on the client and a total of 2 mailboxes in total).
Note that there is a limit to the number of folders that will be displayed (it seems to be a good few dozen though). Note also that if you have nesting of folders in hotmail that the nesting is not shown (no indents) on the N8 which can make navigating folders tricky if you do use nesting - I got around this by renaming my folders in hotmail i.e. the parent as 'parent name', the child as 'parent name - child name' so I know which child is which!
Good luck

Problem with Hotmail smtp - Only hotmail !

Hello,
I have a function that sends most of email's servers, even if it is SSL or Not.
It does work for GMail, yahoo, AOL, etc.
But, when i try to use with Hotmail (port 25 or 587 (all SSL)) i got the error:

The JavaMail FAQ has instructions for connecting to Hotmail, as well as simpler code that
doesn't involve playing around with socket factories.
Hotmail SMTP on port 587 is not an SSL connection, it's a plain text connection that
requires use of the STARTTLS command.

After upgrading to firefox 3.6 I have problem with hotmail email service

after upgrading to firefox 3.6.4 I have problem with hotmail email service, however I can login in hotmail, I can't open mails or delet or do anything else with them.

Thank you, but I already have "always show tabs bar" set.
Also, I have two computers and the other is running the exact same version of Firefox, and the exact same theme, but it does not have this problem.
To make sure I'm being clear: there is an "x" on each tab that allows me to close it when I have multiple tabs open. When I have only one tab open, there is no "x"; so in order to close the webpage I have to open another empty tab, and then close the first. My other computer has the "x" to close the tab visible even when there is only one tab so that I can close the page and have an empty (marked "(untitled)" tab). Please help!

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

Problem with hotmail calendar display

Problems with hotmail calendar display.

I am almost a total computer novice and am having what I think is the same problem Just got my first Apple computer (Macbook Pro). MSN Hotmail is my email account. All the events on my 'hotmail' account are now unreadble because they are squished to the left side of the screen and I don't find any instructions as to how to fix this in the system. This problem didn't exist when I first started using my MAC two days ago, but now I'm stuck. Everything else in my 'hotmail' seems to work fine. Don't know what Chrome or Firefox is or if there is a cost for them. Also, have never downloaded a program if any kind.
My calendar is critically important to me and I don't have a clue as to what to do now. Hope you can help.
Thanks. Linda

Palm treo 680 Problems with hotmail account

I have a palm treo 680, have Problems with hotmail account, dont have configuration in versamail and when enter with the browser dont open documents, photos or videos. Thanks
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

IIRC, Hotmail is like Yahoo's free email - you have to pay for POP access.
If you aren't paying for a premium version of HotMail, it won't work correctly with VersaMail.

Niggly problem with Hotmail - Sending from a third party email address

I need true push email on my BlackBerry, but also need access from a PC and need to send from my own email address. The easiest way I've found to do this is to forward all emails to my own address to a Hotmail address and use Hotmail as my main provider. Everything works as it should - I've got Windows Live Mail setup on my PC and all emails are sent to the BlackBerry the instant they're received. However, I've got a niggling problem with sending emails from the BlackBerry...
On the Hotmail website, I've set my own email address as the default "From" address and in Windows Live Mail, I've set my email address as my own address. So, if I send email from the Hotmail site or from Windows Live Mail, my own email address is used as the "From" address and not the Hotmail address. If I send email from the BlackBerry, it uses the Hotmail address as the "From" address and not my own address. I've set my own email address as the "Reply To" address in BlackBerry Internet Service but it still shows the Hotmail address. I can't see anyway to change this and it's the only problem I have...
I have tried the GoogleMail service, and this worked fine but every email I sent (either from Google Mail, Outlook or the BlackBerry) would copy itself to the BlackBerry and was getting a bit of a pain.
I have also tried Yahoo Mail but this wouldn't allow me to send email from another email address.
Any ideas from anyone? Either to allow emails sent from my BlackBerry to show my own email address as the "From" address, or to stop emails sent through Google Mail to copy themselves to the BlackBerry?

Hi,
I've had this sent items in my inbox, problem with Gmail. You can add a filter from the settings page of your gmail account. The filter should be applied to all emails from your email address [[email protected]] and skip the Inbox should be selected.
Have you tested the "Reply to" option properly? Send a mail from your BB to a friend and ask them to hit the reply button, see which account it goes to.

When I use Firefox and Hotmail at startup, Firefox freezes for about 1 minute, and then I can continue. First I though it was my computer but 2 other girls in my class have the same problem with Hotmail and Firefox. What can I do to change this?

When I start Firefox, about 15 seconds after I start it, my Firefox freezes for about 1 minute. I found out that it is my Hotmail that makes Firefox freeze.
First I thought it was my computer, but I have 2 other girls in my class that use Hotmail and Firefox and their computer also freezes for 1 full minute.
This is very annoying, what can I do to change this?

p.s. I am from the Netherlands, maybe that has something to do with it?

Problem with TV out, only audio, no video

I has just bought a new ipod video 30GB and I also bought a A/V cable
of apple. But when I connect to my television. Only hear audio from
television but no video.
I tried a lot of ways as folows:
+ video setting : changed TV out --> ON
+ I tried restone ipod to factory condition
+ I tried to change the position of 3 connectors (Yellow,Red, Whitle)
of A/V cable (according to standard, Yellow is video connector).
+ I tried some tips from Discussion Techniques from Apple Forum
But I still can't see video, just hear audio from Television.
What's problem?
I think Ipod only send the audio signal, not video signal.
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

As well I had the same problem with my i-pod and the one of my wife. The solution was simple:
config: i-pod 60Gb; i-pod 30Gb
cable: no name audio/video A/V cable
TV-out: select ask (not on!!!)
cable into TV: white on white
yellow on red
red on yellow
There are no problems with bad video quality if volume is high, just working fine
What may be the problem: I think, the automatic detect (if you put your setting for TV-out on your i-pod to on) is not working. As well as using only headphones there must be an electronic cirquit detection; means with no Apple stuff just not working. As well there are the yellow and red cable changed; means white and yellow have audio; red video.
Working so for video and diashow on my pod each time I´ve to select TV-Out manually starting video or Dia Show. In that moment both applications are starting in small windows, not in Full Screen mode on the pod.
The order to connect TV or i-pod doesn´t matter; it´s just the manual setting the i-pod for TV-out.
I hope, the info can help you.

C7: problem with hotmail account

I am using the Nokia C7 and since one week hotmail no longer works. I tried first a reset (removed even battery to be sure), uninstalled the mailbox and when I try to re-install it I receive the message that the service is not available. Although via internet I see that mail are entering. I saw a thread saying that during the installation you need to choose decline on the Nokia agreements but I do not get that option.
Before you ask. I haven't installed anything on my device nor linked to my computer for a long while so the device and its settings did not change but the behaviour of the email widget did....
What can I do?

Mine's working now too!
Deleted and re-added the account again and the messages started flowing.
We were not alone, see this in the Messaging section:

Mail has intermittent keychain password problems with Hotmail account

Most of the time Mail can access both my Me mail and Hotmail. However, since I moved from Tiger to Leopard Mail loses access to my Hotmail password and asks for it to be reentered to check for mail. If I don't do this I get the usual problem lightning bolt icon by mt Hotmail in-box in Mail. But when I click this and recheck for mail manually it works fine every time.
Is mail just not accessing my key-chain when it isn't the active application I'm running?

This is a common report with Hotmail accounts, but currently mine is staying connected. I think the prompt actually results from the checking the connection on the SMTP, rather than the Incoming Server, but not sure in every case. I have seen the problem in Mail 2.x, 3.x and 4.x. If it goes into a period of frequently giving the prompt, I change to exclude the account from auto checking for new mail, and then manually check for new messages.
That mine is currently working may be due to my changing the SMTP to that of my ISP rather than the one from Hotmail.
