How To Setup Hotmail Using Exchange ActiveSync On Your iPhone, iPad And iPod Touch For Push Email, Calendar & Contacts
Microsoft has finally announced that starting today Hotmail will support push email, calendar and contacts with Exchange ActiveSync (EAS). Hotmail users will be able to sync their email, calendar, and contacts to their iPhone using Exchange ActiveSync. So any changes made on the iPhone will be reflected on the web...

But mBox Mail already does that?:)
-
Why use a third party iPhone app when its possible with the native mail app?
-
Works, but you can't browse your folders. MBox mail still better.
-
works awesome! now i can get rid of mBox Mail
-
Do we still use m.hotmail.com as server name for msn.com account?
-
Forgot hotmail; wow.
-
It's about time. Hey MIcrosoft, no wonder why Apple and Google are kicking your asses. When you're late to the game like this, the game is already over. Good luck making people think you're on the cutting edge of tech.
-
One thing I prefer mboc it's that it keep my emails synced. I would have to delete twice if I'm checking my hotmail this way right?
-
well it kinda suck because you can only have one exchange and i already had it set to googles =/
-
Once you have setup your account with ActiveSync, you won't have to delete it twice.
So any changes made on the iPhone will be reflected on the web interface, and vice versa. -
With iOS 4, you can more than one Microsoft Exchange account.
-
Only one exchange at a time...that sucks. I currently have Google on Active Sync, and Apple's MobileMe which uses Active Sync too i think. So why cant the technology handle one more Active Sync account> Anyone? Even Hotmail on imap would be great then.
-
Thanks for the info, guys. I have followed all the steps but keep on getting a warning that i am entering an incorrect password?! I know for a fact that the pass word is correct so what gives?
All of the other details are correct. Does this only sync with registered accounts? (Ass in, the full purchased account)
Please advise.
Denizen.

Remember to enter the complete email address in username instead of the user id.

kewlllll

It's great, but not works for me. I used my @live.com address for email and username. I think i don't have a @hotmail.com address. I created the account but i can't send and recive email. I tested my password on the web and it worked. I tried to send a message but it said: "unknown error". Does anyone know why?
-
Just tested it - works like a charm. TY Microsoft for finally bringing this.
-
Sending works but it can't recive any letter.
-
I feel like such a putz! Thank you for coming back to me. It works just fine now.
Many thanks!
-
Fanx - works first time - cheers!

Funny, I have had hotmail on my phone for two weeks now, using the option of "Other", instead of exchange. Admittedly I did not have calender and contacts though. :-)
On a side note, I only use hotmail as my junk email now. TOO many email virus's get through!
-
Ha too late. I've already switched to Gmail. It's much better anyway.
-
HA Me too. I was about to post the same thing.
-
With Other setting, iPhone will check for new email every x minutes, in this case you will get an email as soon as you receive it. Its pull vs push.
-
Worked great! I have now both gmail and hotmail via EAS.
-
Emails still arent getting pushed to me, push setting is on! Any ideas?
-
Have you set up your Hotmail account as Microsoft Exchange account?
-
Yeah, followed insturctions to the T, i assume this works in the UK? Thanks
-
msn and hotmail use the same server ....
so yes, use m.hotmail.com for both msn and hotmail accounts
