    What do you mean it does on your iPhone?
    If you download a new email to your computer and read that mail and then download it to the iPhone it sees it as already read? Then maybe the iPhone is using the Hotmail IMAP system? Not sure.

  • Can't set up hotmail.co.uk with mac mail

    Hello everyone, and thanks for your patience as I know very similar queries have been answered already in previous discussions.
    I have just bought my first mac after years of pc use.
    I would love to be able to access my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail on os x tiger.
    However, despite following all previous posts as accurately as I possibly can, this still won't work. For this reason, I have transcribed absolutely everything I enter into the account setup below, to see if anyone can see where I keep going wrong.
    I have downloaded httpmail (http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php) as suggested on previous posts.
    Also as suggested on a previous discussion, I have set mail to run using rosetta, to help deal with any complications I may face using my intel macbook.
    My email address is [email protected]
    Now, when I go to set up my account on mail, I enter:
    PAGE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
    Account type: httpmail
    Account description: Hotmail acccount
    Full name: Alistair White
    Email address: [email protected]
    PAGE 2: INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
    Username: awhitetbn
    Password: ******
    I am then presented with the account summary:
    Account description: Hotmail account
    Full name: Alistair White
    Email address: [email protected]
    Username: awhitetbn
    Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
    SSL: off
    Outgoing mail server: services.msn.com:awhitetbn
    SSL: off
    Next page: Conclusion: a new account has been created.
    Ok! All seems well, so I send a test email. However, I get the following message:
    Cannot send message using the server services.msn.com:awhitetbn
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server.
    However, in the pop-up menu, the only option I have is:
    send message using: HTTPmail:awhitetbn
    I would dearly love this to work and I sense I am not far from the solution... If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Where am I going wrong?
    Many many thanks
    Alistair White

  • 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).

  • 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

  • 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 can I set up hotmail in the mail application

    Hi
    How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
    Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

    If you are asking about setting up GMail for your Mail application, you must first register for GMail via an Invite from someone who already has an account there.
    Once registered, in Account Settings (On the GMail website) you should see a "POP Settings" Tab.
    In here there should be instructions for setting up your Mail application.

    If you are asking about setting up the 60 day trial .Mac account for Mail access,
    once registered the steps for doing this should be clearly marked.

  • Nokia E72 - Set up Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo accoun...

    I bought my E72 3 days ago and the first impression i got was disappointing.
    The first action you do when switching on E72 for the first time is to set up your email accounts.
    Remember, E72 is Nokia's top email phone!!!
    I chose hotmail. I enter my email account and then my password as requested.
    And the next screen i get is nothing but the previous one!!!
    The same happens with Yahoo accounts.
    I found a way to work around the crash and set up my account through the "other" tab available on the wizard.
    I am really disappointed that i have changed my beloved E71, to get an even more proffessional solution that in the end needs a total update to set up our emails.
    There must be a solution in the next software upgrade and must be installed for free in all Nokia's stores.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.
