There is a current epidemic of people failing to access their Hotmail e-mail accounts because Microsoft is experiencing problems with their Exchange Active Sync (EAS) service. The problems are intermittent, so access to Hotmail e-mail accounts are also intermittent. This is the case for me. Microsoft says they are working on the problems. Read about it HERE.
On the other hand, perhaps your setup for accessing your Hotmail account is with error. This is how I successfully setup the Sony tablet's stock e-mail app to access my Hotmail account.
1. Open the tablet's stock e-mail app, touch the settings icon, and select Settings.
2. On the Settings screen, touch Add Account.
3. On the Account Setup screen:
3.1. Next to E-mail Address, enter full Hotmail account e-mail address.
3.2. Next to Password, enter Hotmail account password.
3.3. Touch "Send e-mail from this account by default." to select/check or (my choice) deselect/uncheck.
3.4. Touch Manual Setup button.
4. On next screen (Account Type), touch Exchange button.
5. On next screen (Server Settings):
5.1. Next to Domain\Username, delete existing text and enter full Hotmail account e-mail address.
5.2. Next to Password, enter Hotmail account password. Note: It should already be entered correctly.
5.3. Next to Server, delete existing text and enter m.hotmail.com.
5.4. Touch "Use secure connection (SSL)" to select/check it.
5.5. Touch "Accept all SSL certificates" to deselect/uncheck it.
5.6 Touch Next button. Note: Here is where you may experience a problem connecting to the e-mail server. If you receive a message saying it cannot connect to the server, wait a few seconds and touch the Next button again. You may have to repeat this step several times before you will successfully connect to the server.
6. On next screen (Account Options), select/check or deselect/uncheck the settings as you see fit and then touch the Next button.
7. On the next screen (Your Account is Set Up and E-mail is On Its Way!), rename the account if you want to, then touch the Next button.
8. When returned to the e-mail app's main screen, select your Hotmail account and you should see your e-mail messages. You may have to touch on the Refresh icon to have your e-mail messages retrieved.
Good luck.

Step 5.3 didn't work for me. However, when I added 'debug-' as a prefix it worked. Saw this on a Microsoft support post. Full txt is 'debug-m.hotmail.com'. I certainly hope they get this straightened out. This issue started after I updated my Transformer to the lastest maintenance update.

My hotmail access in email app broke down about 4 weeks ago, but it did not bother me much until I got command from above (Spouse). I started checking around and found the same procedure posted on Sony support site 6 months ago. I decided to give it a shot.
Well, step 3 did not work for me. I checked the server kids iPad was using, which was "bay-m.hotmail.com" and suddenly it worked just fine.
Hopefully this is useful to someone.

Sorry for bumping an older thread here, but the above mentioned "debug-m.hotmail.com" server has worked well for quite a while. About 3 days ago, it was no longer able to connect to the hotmail server. I removed the account and then added it again using the above steps (with debug); that fixed it last time. Not this time, though. Has anyone else run across this as well? Any new solutions?

On Step 5.1. for "Domain\Username" try "hotmail.com\[email protected]" instead of "\[email protected]"
[email protected] should be your mail address.

TP Email question

is there a way to have multiple email accounts on the tp? i have one of my hotmail accounts logged in. but when i try to go to add a new account for another hotmail account i have i go trhough the process. instead of adding it like my first email it goes online and i cant view pictures and it sucks compared to my original. i have to switch live ids if i wanna setup a different account in order to add gthe other email.
Is there a a program i can dl in order to do this? can i have a gmail account and hotmail account together or are we limited to 1 email that is tied directly to our tp?
Are trying to check your email through the web browser??
You can have as many pop/imap accounts as you want... you need to be using the built in copy of outlook... add each account separately
Makes sure you have pop or imap enabled in gmail or hotmail by checking the settings when you login over the web to each of those respective sites...
(ie: for gmail go to settings -> 'forwarding and pop/imap' -> enable IMAP)
From the Touch Flo 3D email tab tap Menu -> Accounts -> Accounts... -> Setup E-Mail. Add the incoming and outgoing mail server addresses, your username and password for the account, how much email you want to sync and you should be all set
I ran into the same problem. Have not figured it out yet. Evidently the built in email software does not allow two accounts under the same domain name. Ex" george @ verizon.net, and louie at verizon .net.
I have been able to set up multiple accounts, just not multiple accounts under the same domain name.
Is this what you are trying to do?
Yeah, it seems they don't let you have 2 hotmail accounts. But I do have more than one gmail account on there.
Here's one possible work-around:
Log on to your hotmail account on the pc. Then enable sending & receiving emails from other accounts as well. I have added my other hotmail account to it, and now get emails for both.

I have 1 hotmail & 2 gmail accounts, directly accessible and showing up on TF3D.
No problem putting 2 gmail accounts on, just a problem with 2 hotmail accounts, since you have to set those up through Windows Live App.
Has anyone figured out how to have two accounts with the same Domain Name Yet?
I didnt have a problem setting up 3 email accounts from the same domain. It's a personal domain. I unchecked find server settings automatically, set each as internet email, then followed the prompts. No problem with all three.

Googlemail through exchange activesync setup?

Hi there, I am currently using the Google Mail app on my Hero for recieving my email through push.I did use the built in Mail app, but because it only allowed me to recieve every 5mins, I changed over.
Anyhow, I have read on here that if you set it up through Exchange Activesync rather than "Other email", then you can set it up so you recieve your emails instantly.Only problem is, I don't know exactly how to set it up.
I put in my email addy and password on the first screen, press next and it comes up with the next page listing server address, domain etc.What do I put in each section, as when I put my email add in the address bit, server is googlemail.com, domain blank, username my email address, and password my email password and then press next, it says "verifying account information" then a box comes up saying "Error.Authentication failed.Please verify username and/or password"
Could someone please give me a guide or some pointers as to how I get my googlemail working through mail with exchange actvesync?Any help would be much appreciated!

Try this.
It's instructions for the iPhone, but the general set up is the same.
Regards,
Dave
Cheers, that worked, I forgot to tick the SSL box so that's why it kept coming up the error

Multiple Email accounts with Exchange Server, Why Blackberry?

I've used BBC on My HTC TP2 for over a month and then WM Exchane sync with a gmail account also.
Although BBC provides a good option for push email, but it fails to provide
1. HTML mails
2. Links don't work within emails
3. In India with Vodafone in Delhi, HTC devices cannot have more than 3 email accounts.
4. You need to have multiple APN's at least 2, One for BBC, other for routine net surf.
5. With device like HTC TP2, HD2 etc without a D pad, next/ previous mail function annoying, close current email & then click next one to open
However I find WM Pushmail exchange better.
1. HTML mails
2. External links do work
3. PC type email interface
4. With devices w/o Dpad also, swipe across the screen changes to next email.
5. With a bit of work around you can have multiple emails on Exchange sync, with gmail, working as push mail
Create a new gmail account. In WM Activesync (disconnect from pc), in server settings create new exchange a/c with
Server address : m.google.com
u/name: [email protected]
password: your p/w
in Server setting choose only emails to sync.
You are done with creating exchange account to sync.
Now go to Schedule in Active sync
Set peak times as : As items arrive
Set Off-peak times as : As items arrive/ as per your choice
on bottom of this page Adjust peak times option is there, in which you may customize your peak hours.
Now on your PC login in your gmail account
Enter settings of gmail account
For the email accounts with pop/ smtp options available
go to Accounts and Import, here you can add accounts to
Check mail using POP3 option, select the desirable setting
For the email accounts without pop/ smtp options
go settings of that email, set forwarding to your this gmail id
Next step is to differentiate emails form different accounts say 5 accounts.
In gmail creat 5 labels indicating import/ forwarded email accounts name such as dinesh gm, dinesh yahoo etc.
Next in Gmail filter options create filter/ rule for each imported account
as
Matches: to[email protected])
Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "XXXX GM", Never send it to SpamCheck
Creat rule for all 5 accounts
In Gmail activate Multiple Inbox
Set pane 0 to Search Query as the label created " XXXX GM"
and same for rest of email accounts with respective labels.
Now Gmail stores all incoming msgs from different account with different labels, treated as folders by WM Exchange servers.
On your WM PPC go to Inbox of email exchange account created.
Click Menu> Tools > Manage Folders
(Sync at least once before this step)
You'll see all created labels for various email accounts on your PC in gmail account as separate folders in Manage Folder option. Check all the folders you want to sync
And VOILA you have multiple emails synced as PUSH mails to your WM device with any special Blackberry Connect service, no PINS etc.
Additionally it works on Normal GPRS/ EDGE connection delivering HTML emails
Any people say Windows Mobile or Phone now-a-days are waste of money. No they are the most customizable piece of design available.
Enjoy
Will you be notified of new messages?
I am forced to use Blackberry with my work because they don't let me have email on the exchange server. Blackberry is crap for many other reasons too....

yes all notifications are same which can be configured in the Start. sounds & notifications option in WM6.5
Interesting. Could u please explain step by step how to make it work on Rhodium? TIA
Nice,
I have this but....
Mails will be duplicated between your Inbox and the 'labeled box'.
Beware, when you are replying a mail, you are always use your gmail adress and not the one from the 'labeled box'

[Q] Can't add microsoft exchange email account

I can add hotmail but not other microsoft exchange account. is there help on this?
bump. another question. Why can't social hub email display other windows live mail folders except the generic Inbox, Outbox, Sent, Trash. I don't even see junk.
exchange email account
sure, you can add one, I have two setup on my phone. Go into settings/accounts and sync/add account. There you can choose to setup any account you want, just scroll down to more accounts and choose microsoft exchange activesync and set it up. Manual setup works best, as auto detect likely will not find your necessary settings unless you IT guys really wanted to make it easy, (unlikely).
Just follow the onscreen directions and you will have it done in a few minutes.

I really can't. Even though I followed all the instructions written about POP and SMTP address. I suspect it's a port issue.
You shouldn't be asked about POP3 settings with an Exchange ActiveSync account. It sounds like you're doing something wrong.
Add the account by going to Settings > Accounts and sync > Add account (button at bottom of screen) > Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (you'll need to scroll down). You should not be inside Email or Social Hub when you do this. The Settings screen you need to go into is your phone's general settings screen.
On the first screen you'll be asked to enter your email address, password, domain and user name, and the address of your Exchange server. The only thing that's a bit unclear here is that you domain and user name should be in DOMAIN\user.name format.
I'd tell you what should be on later screens, but I only have 1 Exchange server to test against, and I'm not going to remove that account. Hopefully you'll be able to work things out from here.
POP3 != Exchange
Exchange Active Sync will be something like your work email if configured properly and given the appropriate permissions
POP3 is Hotmail and other random email hosting, you will most likely only need POP3
