hotmail now working?

andyr300 · 07-01-2009, 5:31 PM

My hotmail sprang into action on my iphone today!

working for everyone else now?

dannius · 07-01-2009, 5:35 PM

Do you have a free hotmail account?

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

andyr300 · 07-01-2009, 5:38 PM

yeh, free hotmail, quite happy its working now

dannius · 07-01-2009, 5:45 PM

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...

shardsta · 07-01-2009, 6:34 PM

working for me too saves using izymail! Cheeers for heads up

Gamezvile · 07-01-2009, 6:53 PM

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

Spec4 · 07-01-2009, 7:01 PM

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.

Gamezvile · 07-01-2009, 7:19 PM

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

zchan28 · 07-01-2009, 7:41 PM

cheers for the heads up

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?

ridgerama · 07-01-2009, 9:42 PM

working like a dream

craig2800 · 07-01-2009, 9:43 PM

I have a msn account and while trying to add account it says i need a msn premium subscription does anyone know why?

I got this message and ignored it and just closed email and re-opened it and it works fine now. Just try that, worked for me ahah

Got that message when it was searching for the mailbox settings, clicked next and then it opened the mailbox.

dannius · 07-01-2009, 11:22 PM

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?

andyr300 · 07-01-2009, 11:32 PM

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?

MooMooCow · 08-01-2009, 1:20 AM

Nvm got it working

cheers

Inishmore · 08-01-2009, 7:14 AM

works for me as well but can only see the inbox folder?? no subfolders?

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...

bellso · 08-01-2009, 11:11 AM

Nice one, handy for keeping in touch. Paid for mobileme for a year to have email, so will see how i get on with hotmail [as everyone emails me on my hotmail account anyway].

gken74 · 08-01-2009, 11:24 AM

Result!!

istanbul05 · 08-01-2009, 12:36 PM

Umm, doesn't seem to be working for me

Keeps saying i have entered the wrong user name or password for "pop3.live.com". I have entered my details 3 times so they are not wrong...

mattr37 · 08-01-2009, 12:43 PM

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?

chaz · 08-01-2009, 1:16 PM

i have one problem its taking a long time to recive if at all e mails they go stright to my google account but not my msn account thats my hotmails that are on my conputer can someone tell me please why they are going to my google and not my hotmail account i did try sending one from new hotmail account on my i phone to conputer thats fine maybe a bit long in doing it but it got there thanks

chaz · 08-01-2009, 7:23 PM

bellso · 09-01-2009, 10:17 AM

Does seem slow to receive. Take it that it doesn't push?

Barneyrubble uk · 09-01-2009, 10:19 AM
