Using Hotmail

What is the best way to set a Hotmail account through Inbox ?
I installed Pocket Hotmail but, after I create a new account in Inbox using Hotmail, this account does not show up with the other Accounts.
Moreover, if I go to my Hotmail account using PIE (msn.com), I can read my received messages but NOT the attachments, whether they are standard pictures or Word documents or whatever.
Any clue ?

Try installing the Windows Mobile 2003 patch.
Its available at: http://www.frieger.com/photmail/wm2003.html

Sorry to hear that, I guess its still not ready then. Maybe you'll have better
luck when the full version is released.

Try the New version 2.5 Beta
Hello
give their New version 2.5 Beta a try it might do the job http://www.frieger.com/photmail/beta.html
regards.
Othman

I tried the both V2.2 with the WM2003 patch and V2.5 beta and no luck

No luck for me, either!
In the previous version, after creating the account, I couldn't find it.
With this latest beta version, I found the account I created, but the inbox showed empty (although, actually, it was not).

Ok found another Hotmail program called HTTPMail ($5.00 to buy) by Adrian Software and its working great on my WM2003 upgraded XDA I. So can somebody give it a try on their XDA II and report your results.
HTTPMail can be found at:

HTTPMAIL
i just downloaded that free trail programm.
now the following problem,
I can I ensure that Hotmail dails internet, and my normal work mail (pop3) dails another number (as set up under conncetions).
As i believe mail can only dail one number.

You've lost me on the dialing, confirming you're connecting via GPRS, right?
If so why are you using (2) different connections?

no Gprs
I use internet trough a dail-up connection
and i retrieve e-mails trough a pop3 server (work)
And now i want to have one e-mail account calling work, and the other internet

Dailing problems solved
Ok solved the dialing problem
So it is calling internet, but now some other problems, like not known protocoll.

Strange, confirming that you have hotmail set as your "Domain" in your Inbox settings and "HTTP" selected as your Account Type?
If so try doing a soft reset and see if that helps!

Iam getting further
It connects, and has downloaded all my folders from Hotmail, but they are empty.
What am I doing wrong. I really like this one to work

it works - it works

Qman thanks. Finally a good solution that works

Hiya,

Thats good news on the bluetooth connection, thanks!
BTW just checked my online sub-folders and they're empty too, so go figure! :wink:
But here's a long-shot, while at your Hotmail Inbox, go to Tools, Manage Folders and check the folder that you want synchronized. Let use know how this works out!
Also it would be nice if you deleted your duplicated postings, it appears that your send key may have got stuck!

my email-account is lost after removing battery

If i remove my battery all my emailsettings/account is lost
If i try to add a new account with the same name it says: account already exists, but i cant see it.
so the only way is to choose a new name for my account.
does someone have a solution?

you can repair the mail account using mailaccountrepair, download it from http://nicolasmauri.blogspot.com/
I have the same problem
I still don't understand why it happen
other solution, which doesn't fit BA, is to shut down the device after setting the account -> has to do something with the registry

perfect, i'll try it on the weekend.
thanks.

I have same problem.
I use Nicolas Mauri MailAccountRepair, and It works perfectly.
It is easy to use, just run the .exe file on my BA, and voila. My gmail account appear again.
@ adotan : Thanks for sharing.

Thanks

guys, install flexmail 2007.
and be happy with no more account loss.

i used the mail repair app, it works but my phone seem to freeze a lot lately. im not sure though if the cause is that program, but the freezing begins when i turn off the wifi then when i turn it on again, it takes a very long time to connect and opening other programs on the phone would cause much longer freezing, which just started happening now after i used the mail repair thingy. i even tried deleting the app, but the problem is still there. help guys.

Setting up hotmail difficult

I have tried to set up hotmail on my HD2 as per HTC website instructions
http://www.htc.com/uk/howto.aspx?p_id=297&id=168&page=2
Only stage 5 doesn't appear on my phone and when I have finished I never receive mail to this account even though I know my PC account is receiving mail. What do I do?

Are you sure you're entering your hotmail address correctly? HD2 should pick up on a hotmail or live address. What domain is your address at? If it's a different address set up for a passport it may not work

i think you should try thewindows live application from the marketplace. once you have it, you can sync mail...and probably.conracts too.

having the similar problem... my account is hotmail.co.uk and when i try to setup it says either pass or id is incorrect but i am 100% sure that pass is correct...is it something to do with .co.uk
help please!!!
thanks

As mentioned by tshizzle - use Windows Live. It automatically sets up your hotmail account when you set that up.
It should be on your phone already, but there's a newer version on the Marketplace.

it dosnt work there either...same problem for me atleast

I hate to say this, but you must be entering the information incorrectly.
After entering the information in step 4, can you take a screenshot (use BsB Tweaks if you don't know how to do this), and upload it for us to check for you.
It works for everyone else, so it must be something you're doing.

Hotmail
Can get my .com to sync, but not my .co.uk. Maybe its .uk that as a problem.

I just added a hotmail.co.uk account and it worked for me. Strange problem this is.

Hi Timax. I think I know what your problem is. I noticed you are with Tmobile, so am I and I kept running up against the problem where it gets stuck at stage 4 of 5! Very annoying. Apparently it's because Tmobile diverts the service via their proxy server. Follow the instructions in the thread below on post #2 and it should be fixed!

what is the incoming/outgoing mail server have you used...what do you put under these boxes?

My hotmail was set up through LIVE and my inbos is just not being updated, unlike my gmail and outlook ones. I know this becuase I just checked my hotmail account on the computer and I have 3 new emails and this has not been updated on the phone. However when I press send/receive on the phone it does sownload the new emails. Anyone know a way of sorting this out, it's annoying having to do it manually everytime!

johncmolyneux you rock i had been banging my head for days trying to get my hotmail to work, and the answer was right under my nose. i just needed to update to the new windows live app. man i feel like a dumbass for not going back to basics before jumping into all the other stuff. Thanks a Million bro!!!

I have to agree that it's very hard to make hotmail account working properly, while Gmail, Yahoo! mail work fine.
I've tried so many times and everytime it behaves differently. Once it went through all the mails and get the first mail(many years ago) then stopped working. Once I setup through Windows live, it took me to the Windows Live web page then stopped at there...very frustrated...
Now, at last, it works like a charm--but I have no idea how I did it since I've done so many times, each time is a little different and I am totally confused...

Problems setting up my Hotmail account.

I recently updated my ROM from o2 stock 1.43 to stock 1.72. Since then I've been unable to set-up my Hotmail account. This has been doing my head in for a few days now, I've searched the forum but can't find anything that's relevant.
Here's my problem step by step: I select Add mail account then other, as Hotmail isn't listed. I then enter my e-mail address & password and click next. What happens next has never happened before when I've tried to set my hotmail account up from within a phone and has left me bewildered??
My Opera 10 browser now launches and takes me to the online Hotmail website??? WTF!!! After exiting the opera browser, I return back to the add mail account screen and I'm promptly back at square one?
Any help/ advice would be much appreciated.
Thx.

can you not input the settings for smtp, imap, pop3 etc manually???? im not sure which hotmail uses hence why i mentioned them all.
There is a few threads about hotmail mate

I wouldn't bother setting it though Sense...
Open Windows live and do it from there......
If you must then you will need mail.live.com. that is they worked for me the last time I set it though Sense...
I do have one question for HTC... Why the F**k are you selling a windows device that doesn't have the hotmail setting in Sense???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Oh you may want to update your version of Windows Live from the Marketplace

I'm not even given the opportunity to enter any settings manually as soon as I've entered my address and password and either clicked manual setup or the next button, my opera browser launches and takes me to the web based hotmail.
I totally agree with you that the Hotmail setting should be on the phone.

But I've setup my Hotmail account previously on this phone (HD2) via the Add Mail Account screen and never had any problems up until now.
Thanks for the suggestion tho', I may need to try that.

Can anyone help with this please? It's seriously doing my head in!

Me too, but I've fixed it
Hi,
I had the same problem when updating OS, what previously was a simple task became impossible, and as for taking me to the website, WTF barely covers it!
The answer is in the post from Neville.Holland, simply re-install 'Windows Live' from Marketplace and obey all the instructions, once the 'old WL' is removed and the phone restarts you'll find 'hotmail' is there in your list of email accounts as it was before...
Hooray

when inputing the email address at the start, just misspell it (notmail.con for instance) which prevents the wizard recognizing it. fill in all the rest of the details manually, then save it, then edit it and correct the address.

That's a weird problem, but sam's suggestion should definitely work. If not give provisioning a try. Just look around XDA and you'll figure it out.

thats the right answer

i had the same problem mine was a hotmail.co.uk address. so i entered it in sense as hotmail.com it then took me to the live log in screen where i changed it to hotmail.co.uk it then saved that and synced all my emails and left them all working fine on sense.

Manual Hotmail Email Setup
samsamuel is right on! Hope I'm not raising the dead post here, just thought I can up some details for reference on manually setting up a hotmail email account as lots of light roms are without the windows live package (it's not quite a small install and it needs to reside on the device) and I've read through and met some probs on my own when installing the cabs...
So as samsamuel said, just mistype the "@hotmail.com" part when you set up your hotmail account manually in Messages. You'll skip the windows live wizard (which I don't even have installed anymore). Here are the settings that worked for me (diamond on wm 6.5):
Incoming mail server: pop3.live.com:995
Account type: pop3
Outgoing (smtp) mail server: smtp.live.com:25
CHECKED "outgoing server requires authentication"
CHECKED "use the same user name and password for sending e-mail"
Under "advance server settings": CHECK BOTH "require SSL for Incoming AND Outgoing email"
After all that, right before it starts to sync, just stop send/receive and go back to the account setting and fix the mistyped "@hotmail.com" earlier.
That's what worked for me; incoming and outgoing tested. And I'm not sure about this, but for people who want to sync more than the 50 email limit (when you setup via windows live), you might be able to do it by setting the period of download to "from the past 30 days" or I guess "all messages". I don't have that many emails as I don't use hotmail that much so you better try it out if you're interested (it might take some time to sync though if you have lots of emails... so 3g or wifi it).
thanks for the help, samsamuel!

Text Messages not not syncing - ActiveSync

Hello.
I have researched this problem I came across and still can't find a solution to this.
Some ROMs like Omega and Energy do not sync text messages via ActiveSync even though the option is checked. There was another ROM (Kumars) on which syncing worked but still did not work properly (did not delete text from phone once deleted from outlook).
Has anyone got any ideas, CAB files or Registy Tweaks to fix it? It's not a very serious issue but I don't really make most of my new HD2 without that simple option
Thanks for any help

Is noone able to help me?

txt messages syncing over activesync? syncing to where? not the standard activesync to windows mobile device center, cos that doesnt do txt messages, (at least ive neer seen it)

Clearly your battery pins are bent, or you're not scrolling far enough up the list
I recommend a custom ROM, I think you'll find the "~[FoLgErS]~" series to be right up your alley

"You're holding it wrong"

No. I am talking about syncing text messages (sms) over ActiveSync to an Exchange Server 2010. Is it so funny? It used to work on stock rooms.

Near as I can tell, this feature is not ready for prime time.
In my case, I can create the SMS in Outlook. It gets synced onto my phone, and appears in SMS Sent Items... but it is not actually sent.
Then if on the phone I later create an SMS in the same conversation and send it, that message and the ones that were synced over ActiveSync all get sent out.
I'm running Indie's Omega ROM 2.7.2 but I recall similar issues with stock ROMs. I just don't think this works properly. It could be an issue with the HTC messaging client not behaving exactly like the Microsoft one in some way significant to how the ActiveSync client invokes the SMS client.

Um, and for all you know-it-alls mocking the OPs question about SMS and ActiveSync, well, SUCK IT!
(Just kidding -- this is a relatively recent addition to ActiveSync and probably not a lot of people know about it.)

Well. I must say it worked properly on stock roms. I had no problems sending texts from my outlook and also receiving them was ok. They used to appear in outlook seconds after they arrived to the phone. Now nothing appears and texts dont even get send when sent from outlook. This feature worked in Kumars ROM as far as i remember but it did not in Engergy and Omega ROMs.

Nobody has got any ideas?

As this is the first most of us have heard of this, I doubt you'll get an answer.

I also have this problem. AND it is a "stock ROM". (But its a swedish rom).
But I can sync them to "myphone.micrsoft.com", but I want to sync them to the mailaccount on a Exchange 2010 server.

It's a htc message client issue. If you use the Zenyee Disable HTC messaging 1.2 it works
