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?

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.
The first time I used live messenger (as an experiment by the way), it synchronized all my messenger contacts to my jade's contact list. So now, i have about 250 contacts, 90% without telephone numbers, which kinda... sucks .
Is there a way to delete these contacts with one handling, so i don't have do delete all of them one by one, also without deleting my outlook contacts?
Hi Rubain,
I got the same disappointment. I once logged into messenger and the whole list popped up in my contacts list. I discovered the reason. If you login to messenger before setting up the synch options by Windows Live, this happens. Just go to START-PROGRAMS-WINDOWS LIVE and choose the option to sig in with a different acct. Once you make it the you lose the automatic set up WINDOWS LIVE made. Now sign in to WINDOWS LIVE first, before signing into messenger. Follow the steps described in the User Manual under the capitel WINDOWS LIVE and uncheck the box "SYNCH MY LIVE CONTACT WITH MY ADDRESS BOOK".There you go. You once again have your live messenger and hotmail account on your device but this time without the contacts in your address book. Hope it helps.
hi, in tabs for mails, there is one envelop icon for each e-mail account in upper right corner. is there any way how to change that icon? I would really appriciate any help - it looks all the same and some times I forget which one is which and different icons would really help
thx
The icon you're referring to can be changed. But unfortunately, that one icon will still be used for all your email accounts. That is, you can't have an icon for Hotmail and then a different one for Gmail.
Tip: If you hold you finger on the icons and scroll vertically, a bar will come out that will show you the name of the account you're on. This is helpful if you manage several email accounts.
I see - yes I know that holding part, but I was hoping for having one icon, for Gmail, other for Live, etc ..
well at least I know it can't be done - thx
Hi, i manually set up my email account for hotmail, but when i out my sim in it made another for hotmail, so now i have 2 hotmail accounts of the same mail.
How do i remove one, there is nothing in the options only edit?
I also have this problem, would appreciate an answer for it!
HTC Sense, Mail tab
Right softkey ("Menu")
"Account settings" option
Right softkey ("Delete")
Select accounts to delete
Left softkey ("Done")
If you want to remove the Outlook account, do so through WMDC.
Thanks for the reply Yunabeco, but I think the issue jrvenge and I are having is that, that option is greyed out so we are unable to delete the account in the way you just described.
Inbox - Menu - Tools - Options - tap and hold on account you wish to delete, select delete after popups menu
Hey thanks it worked, just cant do it in the sense menu, i keep forgetting its a wm phone and you have to go into windows settings to do things not in the sense gui
Argh, still greyed out for me. Gonna kill every process in task manager, see if that helps.

Thanx...!!!
Nope
, i press and hold the hotmail account in the list, the popup has one entry - Delete - but it is still greyed out. Arrrrrgh. Any movement on this issue?
Sam
Oh, simple.
Ahhh sorted it.
Sorted it. Start - Windows Live - Menu - Account Options - Switch Windows Live ID - Confirm the warning - (Reject the new terms of service page if it comes up, this only happened the first time i did this, not on subsequent tests)
and you should find the hotmail inbox and contacts are gone.
Press and holding the account name and finding it greyed out seems understandable now, because more that just the email inbox is conected. If you still want the contacts, log back in to live, but untick teh sync email option.
Hi
I've tried all of the above and other bits but STILL the hotmail account is greyed out.
I went to the options window to remove it and surprisingly its not even listed, but when i look at the email tab, its sitting there?!?!
I've removed the link to Windows live as listed, i've removed all other email accounts in the hope that the hotmail account will become active so that i can delete it.
Hair pulling time!!!!
Any advice pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee
I was also looking for this since now it is possible to use Exchange Sync for hotmail accounts: http://windowsteamblog.com/internat...lendario-y-contactos-exchange-activesync.aspx
To remove it go to MSN, options, change the user login, then Reject. You end up with no hotmail accounts.
Hey,
I'm running Win8 Release Preview on my Netbook eeePC 1000H.
Everything is running smooth, but I can't add a google account. Not in mail, not in the calendar.
in Maill: It gives me an error when I try to login. Password is correct. I also tried @googlemail.com instead if @gmail. No difference.
In Calendar: If I select "Accounts" it opens, I see my Windows Live account for about a second, then the menu switches back.
Any ideas?

for mail, have you already logged in with your system account? (IE, windows live id?) if not, you have to do that first then you should be about to connect the gmail account.
for Calendar, im not sure. just went in and it doesn't show where to add an account for me.
gmail
-Open Charms Bar (Windows key + C)
-Select Settings ---> Change PC settings
-Open Ease of Accsess
-Turn off ----> Tab through webpages and app using care browsing
Now you can add gmail and much else that did not work.
Cheers
windows 8 means little trouble sometimes.........
