Hotmail

Hi, how do i get hotmail on wm6 without having to go through hotmail.com on explorer. Don't like using MSN messenger either. Entourage for mac lets you use Hotmail like an IMAP/POP3. Can this be done on wm6? Windows live?
Cheers

if you have the pop3 smtp setting for a mail box
you can access it from any device which support those
settings it would be transparent for the device that it
was hotmail rather then a mail server at your isp

Er, looks like you can't get hotmail details. If you can if you subsribe to the premium hotmail service.
Found these but not sure?
Settings are:
incoming mail server: 195.137.042.007
outgoing smtp server: 195.137.042.007
port: 110
user name: your hotmail user name
password: your hotmail password

think gmail let one get access regardless

Yahoo mail not working in email app now?¿

So I got my phone exchanged for a new one a few days ago, now when I try to add my yahoo account to the email app it keeps saying that some yahoo accounts aren't supported and immediately says wrong pass or user name. Any ideas? My yahoo account worked flawlessly on the first phone. Both were captivates.

Hmm. . I thought yahoo started a charged subscription service for use of pop3?

Yeah, that's been my experience. My yahoo mail worked only if I was using 3g and would fail while using wireless.
Try using k9 and see if that works for you. I eventually gave up and moved my yahoo account to gmail. I like gmail formatting better anyway

I gave up and just use yahoo in the browser. IMAP in the email android app with yahoo was very unreliable for me. Didn't check sometimes, hung up, etc.

Thanks for the replies, and what do you mean "moved my yahoo account to gmail" you mean there's a way to transfer anything that was set to the yahoo account over to gmail? basically rendering the yahoo account useless? Is that it?

What I did is create a new gmail account (because I don't want my yahoo mail mixed with my "real" email box). Then I went to Settings->Accounts and Import and told it to import my yahoo mail account. I waited 3 or 4 hours and bam, all my yahoo mail was in the new gmail account... it even created tags for each folder that was in yahoo... amazingly painless.
Because I wasn't sure it'd do what it did I was pretty piecemeal about it. I set gmail to pull emails from yahoo without deleting it first (read the yahoo asia change), then told it to start deleting it from the yahoo server. I'm still keeping the yahoo account around because I have literally years of accounts tied to it but I'll just be using gmail from now on.

This worked for me. I now have Yahoo working on WiFi on the built in mail application with 2.2.

I'm about to try this as well, hope it works... I think I've tried it before but must have been doing something wrong, can you confirm that this is just as reliable as k-9?

I've had issues getting exchange to work under the Froyo leak.

whoa....finally something that works! Running 2.2 beta with the stock mail app. I had tried the "mobile" instead of "android" on the servers but it never worked for me. Just tried sending myself an email and it worked on wifi.
Great job thanks for the settings. The only thing i did differently was instead of selecting "SSL" i selected "SSL accept all certificates"

Help setting up exchange/mail

Hi, I'm a noob. I have a work email that I think uses exchange (it's a big corporation and we have outlook/entourage in the offices). I can also access my email from anywhere via https://webmail.*****.com/
I can't figure out how to sync my mail app with that email. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try the "Exchange by TouchDown", I'm sure will help

Are you using the default Froyo Email app? or something else?
your username/password combo should be your normal login credentials to login to the webmail service. If your company requires you to append the domain to the user name then it will look like this: domain\username
The server address will be the url of the webmail service for OWA. You may need to also allow all SSL connections for this to work properly.
Hope that helps.

there also is a chance that your company has not provisioned you for Exchange ActiveSync. If none of the above work, give your IT department a call and verify that youre mailbox is enabled for EAS

in the default htc app choose for exchange and put these exactly like underneath
e-mail adres [email protected]
server adres webmail.*****.com
password the password you use to log in to webmail
yes, your server requires an encrypted ssl connection
No domain name is required!!!

Hm. I tried everything above and still cant get it to work. Will talk to IT, thanks guys!

[Q] Anyone get Hotmail (push email) to work?

I am trying to setup Push Email for my Hotmail account using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. I go through all the steps and it sets it up, but after it goes to the mail list, it keeps doing a continuous loop of syncing and refreshing. Anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong?

You don't use exchange for hotmail use the option other and that will work.

Will Push Email work with this?

You can't setup Hotmail as an Exchange account, there's no way I'm aware of anyway. I've never had Hotmail setup on a device where Push was available as an option, however you can set it to refresh as often as every 5 minutes

saw this somewhere and it worked for me
Protocol - pop
put email address in and user name put email address in again
put in password
pop server - pop3.live.com
security type - SSL port 995
outgoing
tick log in required
put email address in as username
put in password
smtp server - smtp.live.com
security type - TLS
server port - 587

This makes sense

Hotmail now has IMAP which is better for cell phones than POP. It will push and sync.
Use the m.hotmail.com serever. Here it is for the iPhone:

Okay so I got Push Hotmail to finally work on the Inspire.
What I found out was that default mail app on the Inspire does not support Push Hotmail for some reason.
What I ended up doing was downloading the default Google email.apk file and installed it on my Inspire and followed the instructions to setup Push Hotmail that can my found on Google.

I was unable to get email from my isp even though it is POP and I entered all the correct settings. I now use k9 mail from the market and all my email accounts work.

My mom and dad have yahoo mail accounts, which I set up in the default mail app for them, and now they have yahoo's app, and let me tell you, most all of the questions they ask me needing help revolve around yahoo not working right or something.
I can't say definitively, but yahoo seems to have a lot of problems... On THEIR end.
I dropped yahoo like a bad habit a long time ago.

I recommend setting up email forwarding form your Yahoo account to your Gmail account. Problem solved!

When you set it up manually do you use these settings:
Incoming Server Settings
Username: <yourusername>@yahoo.com
Password: Your Password
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security Type: SSL (accept all certificates)
IMAP path prefix: blank
Outgoing Server Settings
SMTP Server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security Type: None
Require Sign In: Checked
Username: <yourusername>@yahoo.com
Password: Your password

I might want to do this for my mom. That's done through the account to be forwarded (yahoo), the destination (gmail), or both?
I can find out on my own, but if you drop back in and want to give me an easy answer that's ok, too.

You have to set it up in yahoo, I don't remember if you set anything up in gmail, but you do have to click a link to confirm. If yahoo doesn't show the forwarding option, change the zone to yahoo asia. That's how mine is set so I can enable pop3.
