Hi Guys,
I am running the Phoenix 3.0 Rom based on WM6.5 I believe.
On the boxed rom I could sync with my hotmail account fine. Now with this ROM, any attempt to use hotmail as your email account forces you to use windows live and web interface to your email (horrible).
I got around this issue by using the help from this forum and not putting the word 'hotmail' into the email address and then telling the settings to use pop and smtp servers that are the ones used by hotmail.
However, now I get copies of my hotmail emails to my phone but not a proper sync. ie. I get the same emails on my phone as I do on the web but if i read or delete them on my phone, I still have to do the same on the web. Can anyone tell me a fix for this or am I stuck with having to manage the same emails in both places?
Thanks.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. It's asking for Protocol imap server, server port??? help pls
The error message i get is as follows "Cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account infor. Your server is not responding"
Bloody hotmail!!!
My girlfriend has just got a hero and in the shop I was saying "yeah, you'll be able to collect your hotmail email fine"
However, it appears that you need to upgrade to a hotmail plus account for £14.99 per year to let you collect hotmail emails via pop3 or imap. While that's not a lot, I didnt want to have to pay it if I dont have to.
So I set up email forwarding from her hotmail account to the google account setup on her Hero.
Normally, you cant forward emails from hotmail to non-hotmail or microsoft hosted domains without having the Hotmail plus account
Then I stumbled accross this at android community forums, posted by somone called 71CH so credit goes to them.
* Login to your Hotmail account
* Go to options
* Go to "Mobile Alerts for new messages" under the "Customize your mail" heading
* Type in your mobile phone number
* You'll then receive a text message with a pin number
* Type in the pin number
* Then select the option telling Hotmail Not to send you any text messages
* Go back to options and click on "Forward mail to another e-mail account"
* You'll now see that the restrictions for forwarding are now gone
* You can forward to any account you please.

I've just done this 10mins ago and it is working fine
try this setting..not sure if it's gonna work..or just forward your email to a gmail account
POP server: pop3.live.com
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes
Thanks will give that a try
i think a couple of months back, POP3 access was enabled on all hotmail accounts.
That's the same work around for the iPhone the only problem is when you sign into hotmail on the web the emails come up as not viewed.

I've got Hotmail to send emails to my phone, no probs.
But, my phone won't send hotmail emails out, can someone pls tell me how to resolve all this..?
Newbie here having trouble with Remote Tracker 0.4.2-0 on my TMOUS HD2 and haven't found an answer yet. When I send email commands to RT, such as rt2#egp, my phone just sits there in standby and when I unlock it Outlook is open with the email message ready to send. Anyone have an idea why and what I need to do? When I go to Outlook Contacts>Menu>Options I get an error report, "A problem has occurred with poutlook.exe," then comes up with List view settings, that's it, I don't know if there is supposed to be more and not sure if this has anything to do with the message not being sent. Everything is stock except for a few added apps and I just did a hard reset before reinstalling my apps after some experimentation. I don't use Outlook or even set up an email account on phone and haven't made any tweaks I can think of that would effect Outlook.
I also noticed that the CELLID shows me to be in New Jersey when I'm actually in Texas, this doesn't seem to be of much use at all but I haven't tried changing CELLID settings from default.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I thought commands where you supply an email address (like, rt2#egp#[email protected]#password) would, if so configured, silently without intervention send to the supplied email addy without even having email setup in RT; however, I do have the email account in RT configured; I do not have Outlook, AOL, Yahoo, etc accounts set up in the HD2s mail app (I use Opera to go to my Hotmail account).
In RT's email setup I have only one option under Account, Activesync, is this correct?

no, you need an actual account set up that the phone can use to connect to an outgoing email server with. Just feeding it the email address you want to use is no good, as it has no m,eans to send to that address. Its a bit like giving a man with no telephone your phone number ad asking him to call you.
Choosing the activesync account wouldnt help either, as it would only send when the phone was copnnected and synced to outlook on a pc. (activesync isnt a real account, just an extension of teh outlook account on eth pc)
I have bought a new Sony Ericsson X10 mini.
I have tried to connect to Hotmail (as i do from a PC) from the browser. After entering username and password it only results in a blank screen and nothing more....
Is it also possible to add Hotmail as a new account and how to do (in the menu E-mail) ? - i have tried without a good result.
do any of you know what the problem is ?
The email application doesn't support Hotmail however I use the web browser to access my Hotmail account and it works perfectly. The pages are nicely formatted for the phone resolution. Try to clean the phone cache or reboot the phone. Also, which url are you trying to use? If you have problems with www.hotmail.com maybe you can try www.live.com.
Doesn't the mail app allow you to use POP3? Because if you look in the support section of hotmail it shows you what you need to set up POP3 for that account. I've set it up so it sends my hotmail messages to my Gmail account myself
I thought that you have to have a paid account before you can use POP3 with hotmail?
They changed that, I only have a free account myself.
Gmail has been offering free POP3 for a while, MS figured they better get on the ball as well.
We can use hotmail with exchange now, I have it on my phone and works great

Unfortunately this phone has the pathetic limitation of supporting only one account in the standard email client and Hotmail is kind of my secondary account so I am forced to use the mail client for the main account and the browser for Hotmail.
Rather than updating the operating system, SonyEricsson should spend money to:
- improve the mail client
- improve the music player
- put a few nice games in the phone (not those un-removable trial versions!!)
i had hotmail working with the email app but i actually want my yahoomail to be the one setup there.
anyone ever tried it? i already tried suggestions from google but didn't work.

The one account only is part of the Android 1.6 OS. It it like that on other Android 1.6 phones too (e.g. HTC Hero). Should be solved when the 2.1 update comes out sunday
Just try it bro...

just forget about the default mail app and use k-9.
its free and supports multiple accounts, including smtp, pop, etc

Just tried live.com and hotmail.com in the browser and both show a blank screen. That's odd.

I went to the Market and found an app that seems to work. It's called Hot Email and I can get my email and calendar. Seems to work!!
My emails from my msn account sync fine when I first add the account to the touchpad email client. After I close the program and go back to it though it stops syncing new emails. The refresh icon constantly is revolving as well. I tried setting up the account through the auto setup and also through the microsoft exchange and the same thing happens either way. New msn emails show up on my iphone and then I wait and check the touchpad. They never show up. Any ideas?
I googled the problem and found one instance of someone having the same problem as me. Follow the link http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/295126-proper-hotmail-settings-touchpad-help.html
No one there seemed to be able to answer the question. Anyone here have any ideas?
My MSN mail syncs just fine along with my Yahoo Mail. WebOS set up a POP folder in my MSN account the first time it linked. Not sure why some are having issues. I just thought I would let you know that, at least for some of us, the MSN mail works fine.

Is your account an @msn.com or @hotmail.com. Mine is @msn.com. Not sure if it makes a difference or not.

Mine is a MSN account.
problem solved
If anyone else is having this problem, it is solved. A user from the HP forums gave me the correct settings on how to set it up. For the server name, make sure you leave the https:// before the m.hotmail.com. These settings worked perfectly and I have not had a problem receiving MSN emails since.
"Is this a hotmail.com or live.com account? If so you need to set the account up as an exchange account with theses settings:
*
Account Type: Exchange
Server Name: m.hotmail.com
User Name: your entire email address
Password: your password
*
Under accounts you need to choose the items you want to sync: Mail, Calendar, Contacts, GAL (address lookup). I would delete out the account and re-create it fresh."

I read that if you set it up as an exchange account your emails will be shown only in text and not in html (with images, etc.), which sucks.

Yeah that is the one downfall but if you read the initial post I couldn't receive any emails at all. So I guess this is the next best solution until something else surfaces. Let me know if you find a better way to get msn to receive emails on the touchpad.
Hi all,
I have set up my hotmail account on my Samsung S3 however, when I delete an email on my phone I do not want it deleted from the Hotmail server. Is there an option to do this or is it just tough
Thanks
No takers?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
You set it on the Hotmail account itself. Log in from a desktop computer and go into POP3 settings - you should be able to find a setting in there that allows you to decide whether to delete emails from the server when they're deleted from the device.
Mmmm thanks for the reply but I have tried that. Seems once you delete them from the S3 they are deleted from Hotmail also. On most other devices there is an option to stop deletion from the server.
Any other help?
Depends what sort of account you've set up on the phone. If it's POP3, the method I've described above will work - however if you're using Exchange / Activesync, since that sort of account is direct sync, there is no option to leave mail on the server when you delete from the device as far as I know.
That's the one. Thanks chap. Now I've done it I am not sure I prefer the POP3 setup BUT at least I have the option.
