Setting up hotmail email on iPhone

Hi,
When setting up my hotmail account on my iPhone 4s, I've noticed that all my folders from the my web account get transferred to my phone, and I don't want that. If I delete the folders from my iPhone email, the folders get deleted from my hotmail server, and that's not good at all!! How can I fix this big problem?
Also, how do I change my sender name/display name on my iPhone email? I.e. if my sender name is shown as John Marc but I just want it to be John??
Thank you!

Choose Hotmail for Hotmail and Other for the other one.
The phone will try to determine the server addresses automatically. If it can't you'll be asked for them. If you don't know them you'll have to contact the email provider and ask.

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.

Having problems setting up hotmail on my iphone 4

i upgraded to the iphone 4 on 02 2 months or so ago. Since then i have not been able to set up hotmail on it. It accepts my yahoo mail no problem at all. But hotmail is my main account. After i have put in the details it asks for which is name, address, password and description ( that automatically turns to hotmail)i click the next button. It then says verifying . A box then appears which says "cannot get mail" the username or password for "pop3.live.com is incorrect. now i have tried it so many times so i know that my email address and password are fine! im stuck now and not a clue how to fix this.

Quoted from Microsoft:
Setup Hotmail through the Mail option on your Home screen
If this is the first e-mail account you'll be setting up on your phone:
* 1. Locate the mail icon on your phone's main screen
* 2. On the Add Account page, select Other and enter your Windows Live ID and password
If you have already set up an e-mail account on your phone:
* 1. Locate the Setting icon on your phone's main screen
* 2. Locate the Mail, Contacts, Calendars option
* 3. Under Accounts, choose Add Account and select Other
* 4. Enter your Windows Live ID and password
Are those the directions you followed?

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.

Unable to set up iCloud email on iPhone with apple id as a yahoo email?

I set up my wife's iPhone with the new iOS 5 software. Her apple id is a yahoo email address. I also set up a @me.com email address for her and merged it from MobileMe to iCloud. However, I am now unable to have her phone set up with the new @me.com address and I am unable to change her Apple ID from the yahoo address to the @me.com.

Its really straight forward. My Galaxy s5 started at 4.4.4 and now is at lollipop 5.0.
You are talking to fellow users and ones using residential products. IF you are a Verizon Wireless user you might do better to ask there. https://community.verizonwireless.com/welcome
You may have been caught be the recent retirement of some of the old servers rather than the upgrade to 4.4.4.‎
Triple check your email configuration
http://www.verizon.com/emailsettings
if not using Verizon/yahoo email
outgoing smtp.verizon.net port 465 SSL plain txt passwords
incoming pop.verizon.net port 995 ssl plain text passwords.
Not if you happen to use the Yahoo interface to Verizon email its
outgoing outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net port 465 SSL plain txt passwords
incoming incoming.yahoo.verizon.net port 995 ssl plain text passwords.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
FYI -- what you are attempting to do is use your BB, via BIS, to access your work email via their OWA environment. While that is supported, it can be tricky. I, honestly, could never get mine to configure via the device interface to BIS (Setup > Email Settings). Only by using a PC and going to my carriers BIS website could I get my OWA configured in BIS. You may need to do the same.
You can find your carriers BIS website via this portal:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Where_can_I_log_into_my_BIS_account%3F
And you can find the specific detailed instructions for configuring OWA in this KB.
There are some limitations concerning OWA, but let's hold off on discussing those until you try out the above procedure.
Oh...btw...you will have to create credentials for your BIS account so that, when you log into it from a PC/browser, your carrier can identify and authenticate you. Typically, I find it easier to create the BIS credentials on the BB interface to BIS...then you can enter them in the BB interface, with the 'Remember Me' checkbox so that you only have to enter them one time on the BB itself. Then, when you use your carriers web interface to BIS, you will use those credentials to log in and conduct the OWA configuration.
Cheers!

Does any one know how to set up runbox email with iphone

Does any one know how to set up my runbox email so that I can access it through my i phone?

Per this link, it appears you can access a runbox email account as an IMAP or POP account.
http://www.runbox.com/
Are you currently accessing your runbox email account with the Mail.app or with another email client on your Mac?
If so, you should be able to use the same account settings used when creating the account with the email client on your Mac. If you are accessing the account with an email client on your Mac and you want to keep all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server with the email client on your Mac and with the iPhone's mail client, you should access the account as an IMAP account with both email clients.
If you are accessing the email account with the Mail.app on your Mac, you can transfer the account settings from your Mac to the iPhone's mail client via the iTunes sync process - which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
I'm unable to open their support link with a failed to open page error message - looks like they have a scheduled downtime due to server park relocation so I assume this is affecting access to their support link.

How to set up push email to iphone

Can anyone tell me how to set up my snow leopard server and my iphone so that I get push email, calendar and addressbook? I can't find this anywhere in the manuals.
Thanks,

Setting up Comcast email on iPhone

Hello,
I just got the iPhone two days ago and am trying to set up my Comcast email, but having some difficulty. I've gone online and tried all the recommended steps, like incoming mail server "mail.comcast.net" and SMTP as "smtp.comcast.net," the server port at 995 and Use SSL on, and SMTP server at 589 eiyh SSL on.
But still I am not receiving emails and not only that, but it doesn't show my other emails (I have it set to receive 50 most recent emails).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
- Jackie

Are you accessing the Comcast account from any other system? Comcast email accounts are POP, so if you access email from any other device before you try to connect from the iPhone, then only if you set the other device to leave the messages on the Comcast server would you see them from the iPhone. Otherwise the messages are erased from the server and not accessible from any system other than the one to which they were downloaded (that's how POP works).
Hope this helps.

Setting up work email on iPhone

Hi,
I'm having some difficulty setting up my work email (MS Exchange) on my iPhone 2.1. I've asked the IT administrator and she says that they won't allow (yet, at least) access to the Exchange server from outside the work network or on any device other than a computer when even in the network.
However, I know for a fact that one of my colleagues who has a Blackberry Curve is able to access the work account without any problems.
What's the deal here and is there any way I can replicate my colleague's Blackberry settings for my iPhone?
Thanks,
Nishant

You should post this in the iPhone forum where you're more likely to find someone with the expertise to help you. This is not the best forum for such a query.

Setting up Yahoo email on iPhone 4

My Yahoo id is different from my yahoo email address. How do I set up my Yahoo account to allow for this on the iphone?
I've tried setting up Yahoo as an 'Other' account with both POP and IMAP, neither seem to work. Any ideas?

I'm able to receive email using the following incoming mail server:
imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com
However, the outgoing mail server still isn't being recognized and won't allow me to send mail:
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Any thoughts?

HT1694 Setting up Hotmail account on iPhone 4s

I don't see Hotmail as an option under settings anymore...if I set up my Hotmail account as an "other" it doesn't sync my messages. Help!

I tried setting up my Hotmail accout through the Outlook option and although it went through the initial set up without a problem, when I clicked on my mail account on my phone it was blank and did not display any of my emails. Are there any additional steps I need to take? Thanks!

Problems setting up hotmail email account on Blackberry Pearl

I have had difficulty setting up my hotmail account on my pearl. whenever i enter my username and password (which i have checked millions of times to ensure that it is correct) and hit log in i get the message "please check your information and try again". no matter how many times i try it i get the same message! has anyone had the same problem or know of a solution?

Hotmail has a policy of allowing old (which is active for long time or the ID that is never been deactivated) mail IDs to integrate with BlackBerry. Likewise, I can integrate my primary mail ID which is active for the last 17 years! My another ID which is also activated at the same time but blocked several time due to less use can't be integrate.

How do I set up netzero email on iphone 4?

I've been trying for the last hour!!! I've googled it and read several posts. I've also tried following all of the information on the netzero site, but I'm still getting the message about ssl. One post said to change the pop port number but I don't know how to do that on my iphone 4. Help.

"It appears to lay support imap?" Eh? What do you mean by this?
POP3, just don't. it's old, slow, inefficient, and default settings are not optimal.
Use an IMAP service (Gmail/Outlook.com) and have it fetch your POP3 email.

TS1347 I have a iPhone 4 and I use a hotmail email account. Recently it's not been notifying me of me of emails. I've checked notification settings all set to get them but when you look at overview of notifications the email ones not shown like other apps

I have a iPhone 4 and I use a hotmail email account. Recently it's not been notifying me of me of emails. I've checked notification settings all set to get them but when you look at overview of notifications the email ones not shown like other apps do? Can anyone help its driving me mad?

I had the same issue. I just went to the Apple Store today to talk to someone about it. They had me delete the account and then add it back in. It's been working fine ever since!
