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...
POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
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 (Port 25 or 587)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes
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!!

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.

Is ther a way to download the entire message, with graphics, by default.
And all the contents of my folders??
Thanks.
Please ask questions specific to a certain ROM in that ROM's thread. Helps keep things neater here.
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)
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.
It seems to me strange that I can not believe it ... (and hope I am wrong).
I tried to set up my google apps account as an account of the GS3 activesync email application.
simple options that are usually on the other device (username, domain, password, service ect) here are different ... mahh ... in the "Domain \ user name" ... I tried all combinations: domain.xx \ name \[email protected] with the bar, no bar, with 2 points, commas, capital letters etc etc. ...
The exchange server is the same m.google.com and works on all phones in the world except this one ...
the result always is:"can not connect to server"
If you have suggestions, perhaps borrowed from GS2, are available to test

Why are you doing that?
Setting -> Accounts and Sync -> goggle
Enter in your email and password
I have my Google Apps account on it now using that, has push email/cal etc
yes in gmail app... no in e-mail app
yes, it works in gmail app. What does not work is a google apps account (exchange activesync) in the touchwiz e-mail app
Is not a solution but I tried with k-9 mail and it work ... But I would like to use the samsung e-mail application
I use google mail exchange with the Samsung email app with no issues. Pushes email.
Is that what you are trying? In Samsung email settings, add new account. Enter google email and password, then select manual setup, hit exchange etc

Certainly, gmail works.
What is not working is "Google apps" account (accounts that use google servers www.google.com/a)
It does work. Go to settings, accounts and sync and setup Google there but don't sync gmail . Untick this option. I have reader, finance, and about 6 other Google services all syncing

does it work? exchange with the Samsung email app and GOOGLE APPS account? how can email work if I untick this option?
With the Samsung email app I have gmail setup as exchange. Within the system accounts Google is setup. Goto the gmail app and setup your email. This initially doubles up as your email its setup with the Samsung email account too . Now go to system settings, accounts and sync and within Google untick mail. Try it then key me know it is working. If you can't get it to work you are doing something wrong .

I do not think we understand, it may be my bad English ... However, the problem is not Gmail in exchange on the Samsung email app (it does work fine); the problem is a GOOGLE APPS account (it's a account that have [email protected] and domain.xx is different to gmail.com).
"google apps" account is different from gmail account. the first in exchange with Samsung email app work, the second with Samsung email app work only in IMAP (without push)... i want it in push, as on xperia s, one s etc...
I paste my Google apps settings that do not work
Address: [email protected]
password: mypassword
manual configuration
Domain \ user name: \[email protected] (but I tried it without the bar, with bar, with mydomain.xx\myname etc ... I think I have done all the tests imaginable)
Password: mypassword
Server: m.google.com
SSL: yes
Certificates: yes (but I tried with no)
Doesn't work for my google apps account either. Looks like a bug to me.

it's the same bug of GS2 with ICS..
you cannot connect anymore to a Google Apps account using ActiveSync (Exchange)
the only method is to remove Samsung Email apps, and push Email AOSP..
hope Samsung will fix it asap, because HTC One X works like a charm with ActiveSync and Google Apps
Does anyone know of any fixes at the moment, or sometime soon?
there is no fix untill samsung update...
now work
With the new update ALF5 now the situation seems solved ... I intend to test it better, but now it synchronizes and mail arrive.
You will not believe this
I have been searching and searching and finally found a solution.
Its **** simple.
Carefully follow the directions found here and use the gmail app to add a new account. It worked for me! I played around with every imaginable setting in the mail app and had no success.
I cannot post links... samsung.com/us/support/supportOwnersHowToGuidePopup.do?howto_guide_seq=5790
If you go through the mail app they limit you to only gmail addresses, this is not the case if you go through the gmail app and add a google apps account
My next question is how to view all emails in one box in the gmail app...

How can i update to ALF5? I'm currently on ALE8 and when I go to Software Update, it says there is no update available. Do I have to use Kies or something? Is it only available in some parts of the world? Thanks.
I was also looking for a solution and now Samsung has done her "homework".
Now with Firmware:
GT-I9300 - Open Germany
PDA: I9300XXALF6
CSC: I9300DBTALF4
Version: 4.0.4
Date: 2012-06-27
it works like a charme
So now is all OK and i hope Samsung bring the same solution on the Galaxy S2.

@TaLEntZ96
you can flash any firmeware with the tool "Odin",
use the Forum or Google and you will find a solution.
I am also unable to get my google apps account to sync with the samsung email app via activesync. Any suggestions would be great!
Hello, I am using the stock email app on the MT2L03 configured for Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and Exchange mail boxes. I noticed that any graphics / pictures in Hotmail emails body copies are only showing up as web URL.
However, emails from all the other mail services display correctly
So if I forward an email from Hotmail to Gmail and read it on the stock client, it displays perfectly.
I tried to get help from the helpline but they asked me to speak to Microsoft for a resolution!
I have tried both m.hotmail.com and s.outlook.com as the mail server config with no luck.
The mate 2 email client is a mess
You might want to forget about the stock email client and go with an all gmail solution, seems to work well for me :
Download the gmail and exchange apks from Android police (since I can't post links google: Gmail 5.0 With Exchange Support And Material Design Has Landed)
Either disable your stock email client or remove
Open gmail
Setup a new account, choose exchange as the type.
Setup the account like you would on the stock client.
The exchange sync seems to work for me.
If you want something easier and nice, get the mailwise app (again, can't post a link) from play (just know you can'tadd or update contacts). .
