Re: hotmail now working?

Do you have a free hotmail account?

This would be typical as I have only recently paid £5.99 for mboxmail!

Re: hotmail now working?

Have you got the mail server details mate, incoming & outgoing?

That's if i'm trying to set it up right, using the 'other' option in mail on the iphone...

Works for me too now! Excellent, it annoyed me how hotmail wasnt easy to get to through the phone unlike other email providers.

Re: hotmail now working?

Really? I have been trying to check my hotmail account thru my iPhone and find it to be a PITA. Did anyone else have to upgrade Safari to view hotmail correctly? I constantly CTD when trying to view e-mails.

Re: hotmail now working?

You do it through the iPhones inbuilt email function, choose other and input your details!

It asks for a Windows Live Hotmail Plus subscription and after going to the get.live.com site to try and DL a pop-up appears stating that "Safari cannot DL this file". I was trying over 3G though, maybe the file is too large?

Re: hotmail now working?

Ok, am I being stupid or what? I can't figure out how to do this....

Go into mail on the iPhone, select other, put in my hotmail address and password, and then it asks for the incoming and outgoing server details before it will continue. Is this not what everyone else gets?

Re: hotmail now working?

i think you get that,then you need to either enter it again or try and quit and it gives u the option to continue with the set-up.

settings

pop3.live.com
smtp.live.com

SSL on
port 995

Nice one, that works. One more thing if you know the answer, it automatically downloaded my inbox but not sent messages/kept messages. Any idea how to get it to do this?

Same here - for the message about it needing a subscription so I clicked next and it just worked! Mines an @live.com address...

EDIT - mine only added the inbox too and I only saw the sent folder after I sent an email. No other folders showing...

Re: hotmail now working?

Fab! Had a minor hiccup before I realised I needed to delete the izymail account from the phone and start over, but works great. Hope it's better than the rather sporadic izymail which I paid for.

Which reminds me, anyone want to buy 6 months' of izymail account?
