Is there a hotmail tap in Windows Live for checking emails? It shows in the installed components that I have Hotmail, Messenger, Spaces, Search and Contacts installed. But I have only two tap in the Windows Live app - "Messenger" and "Sync". The preinstalled version is 10.6.0039.
btw Microsoft now offers free pop3 access to hotmail users in some selected countries. More info at http://readerszone.com/microsoft/pop3-access-windows-live-mail-and-hotmail.html
Yes there is. Mine is the same version. Click on the green arrow to scroll through.
only "Messenger" and "Sync" two pages...
Reinstall? I think the cab is available in the sticky thread.

Upgraded to "windows live" 10.6.0040.2801 but still dont know how to configure multiple hotmail accounts. Any ideas?
i doubt that there is a way to do it, as the msn contacts will be copied to your phone contacts.
When I run Windows Live, I only see "Messenger" and "Sync", although the info page claims that Hotmail, contacts etc are installed.
How do I get onto Hotmail?
Please can some-one help a damsel in distress, as I am starting to get rather frustrated with this device.
from touch flo screen, scroll across to the email envelope. There you should see your hotmail email.
I can see my normal pop email account (which I have set up, and is working), but there is no hotmail account.
Are there any special setup parameters that I should be using?
No, it is automatic. Have you gone into windows live itself and checked the settings. Did you check the option sync email? You can always try again - just delete your account (the option is in one of the Live menus).
Thank you so much, Ardsar. I had failed to click the Sync emakil option.
It's now working. Cheers.
im signed into my windows live panel, but i cant find out how to check my email. how can i do this?
also is there a way to use this to save my contacts so i wont lose them if i update the firmware?
Assuming you installed the Windows Live panel without changing any settings, sign in as normal. Next tap the circle "Windows Live for Mobile" icon on the left (in portrait) or top-right in landscape. Any new Hotmail messages will appear there, and tapping on them will take you to the Messaging application.
If it is showing Messenger or Sync, tap one of the little green arrows until Hotmail is showing.
It's not exactly rocket science.
i was having a problem i guess because i dont have hotmail, my university uses windows live incorporated into their email system. thats what i was looking for. thanks for the response though, i guess i can only get hotmail.
any help on saving contacts though?
Hi,
I have 2 email accounts that I'd like to remove. Hotmail and Windows Live. They stopped syncing all of a sudden and when I select either of them and select Inbox, the next screen shows Set up Email account. When I try to set up my Hotmail and Windows Live email account again, I get a message saying that these accounts already exist.
I installed Windows Live 10.7 after trying out the above, but still no luck.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

even your hotmail and Windows Live Mail boxes are highlighted? Mine's greyed out...
if you allow them to be set up automatically then you need to go top the live app and remove your login details, which should remove the linked email account.

The Live app creates another Hotmail and another Windows Live Mail account which I can remove using Live app. The original accounts still remain in the Email Tab.
ahh.
no help then, sorry.
I am tires of WINMO 6.5, and WP7 is not what I want. The only thing is that I can't give up my hotmail, and NO I don't want POP3 version, and the exchange trick won't show me attachments..... not html etc.
I want hotmail to behave like any an regular email client.
As of now this is how I am setup on winmo 6.5:
1. PH#s (contacts with PH#s) + Calendar = Gmail, synced via microsoft exchange (I do this because I use Google voice)
2. Email (Hotmail) + Email contacts - synced via windows live email client
Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Also... I would like to combine somehow all my contacts in one directory that will be synced somehow between gmail (for google voice texts and calls) and hotmail (since I use this all over my PC's and add contacts from different locations. Can I do all this and use ANDROID?? Please help!! Thank you!!! - Peter
lol you already have the right parts. Just finish adding your contacts to Gmail. Sign in to your Gmail account as your Google account on your Android phone and you can automatically sync your Google calendar and Google contacts. You can even auto sync your contacts so that as soon as they're in your phone they'll be added to your contacts. If you're worried about all your email only contacts showing up in your dialer, then you usually have the option to only show contacts with phone numbers.
Gmail (as with most e-mail clients) supports HTML.
You've just reminded me what a PITA WM6.5 was. It was workaround after workaround to get the last workaround to work. There's a reason Microsoft dumped the old "Windows Mobile" name and start fresh. 6.5 compared to ANY modern smartphone software is just dumb. Sorry for the rant, I think I was getting flashbacks @[email protected]
In Gmail you can add your hotmail, yahoo and others through an interface(PC only). When you have your gmail account open in a browser(PC) click the gear in the upper right corner and select mail settings. Then select accounts and imports tab and it's the second option. Super easy as I have done it. As for mail, there is a @mail app built into android. Just google hotmail android and you'll find pop3/imap/exchange settings everywhere. And I do believe that @email android app is HTML viewable.
There is no reason at this point to keep that old 6.5 phone, jump over to Android and you'll totally forget you ever had a lesser phone.
But.. still if I add Hotmail via exchange, it wont let me view attachments... Pop3 is not the way to go, since is not a complete sync with the server (I check Hotmail from different PC's and add/remove contacts constantly. Pop3 won't sync that)

So does this mean I will switch from Hotmail? And when I reply to an email received at hotmail will show my gmail as sender? Again, I don't want to switch from hotmail. All I want is an "email client" for android that fully suports hotmail with 2 way sync. I hope you understand.
P.S. looks like my post shows up twice. How do I delete the other one?
Thank you you guys for your help!!!
I believe "Enhanced Email" for Android does what you're looking for. It can use Exchange ActiveSync and has an option for HTML email.
Also, if you want to sync Gmail and Hotmail contacts, try Soocial.
