how to use hotmail?

Can anyone tell me how to check hotmail in G1 expect to check it by browser?
Someone told me to use the Moxier Mail.
But What is the Sever for hotmail??
And Why my Brower cannot go to www.hotmail.com in these days...
any one can help me figure out these problem???Thanks a lot

www.hotmail.com works fine for me.
Try google searching hotmail and clicking on the first result?

i dont know why.....
but i just wanna know....is there any application to use hotmail like gmail??of course...it is free...

Try m.msn.com in the browser.

What you can do is what i have done, and it is change your passport account settings.
You change your location to a European country [for me i chose france] ( on your control panel on msn or what not)
And then on your phone,
with the e-mail application, you input your email and password and then click manual setup instead of next.
-------
choose pop3
use these settings,
username: [email protected]
password: yourpassword
pop3 server: pop3.live.com (ssl always port 995)
----------
once you pass the pop3 section you will get to the smtp section:
username: [email protected]
password: yourpassword
smtp server: smtp.live.com (port 25 [tls or none, you should test both])
then you should be good.
When setting and using wifi at home, or work your smtp will not work, which means if you try sending e-mails via WiFi your message might not be sent, (most ISP's block their port 25 from usage [for spam reasons] and more money for them too)
so for that same reason while in smtp you might not be successful if you are not using the phone's web.
Hope this made sense. But it works.
---
also you can use this anywhere on any device and computer which you want to set up pop3 access.

Just set it up in Email (the stock Android software). It gives a warning about Plus accounts, but it finalizes fine. I was on wifi when I set it up, I think it has issues when setting up on 3G/GPRS.
Everything works, incl. alerts and all..

try the steps i have posted here
they worked for me and others

This is a great guide to get my Hotmail on my G1!..and it worked perfectly..
Is it completely free though? Even with the notifications?..
I hope so..this is making things A LOT easier that going to Hotmail in my browser..

i have to unlock my G1 if i want to change the location?

You need to change your location in hotmail, not on the g1.

Wowowowow.....It is running perfectly....Thank You soooooo much^ ^
haha...im still a new user for G1 even though i have bought it for half an year...T.T

This is how to get Hotmail on the Hero for free

I have been trying to forward my hotmail emails to gmail without any success. Anyway I was reading that hotmail now offers pop3 which is something you had to pay for before. So I entered these settings into the HTC pop3 widget and what do you know it works
POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587) -----(I used 587 as 25 didn't work)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes ----(Change to TLS on the second page)
Sorry if you peeps already new this but I’m sure there are some others who were having problems getting their hotmail account working.

I had a feeling that maybe it was really easy, but my account wouldn't automatically setup. Maybe because I had a @hotmail.co.uk account ????
I was wondering why there wasn't any info on any of the threads. I was originally concentrating on forwarding to gmail as that is what I did for a mates iphone last year but the free forwarding tick seems to have changed

Sign up for momail and all your problem will be solved. All mail will go to one account.

If Hotmail doesn't forward to gmail (hmm why would Microsoft, the owner of Hotmail, not allow this? ...) you could also set gmail to auto-download new messages via POP.

Yahoo email account setting

Yahoo POP3 transfer needs one to have a premium account (paid account) which many of us don't have. I couldn't find much information on the forum so I decided to post the setting in case someone else is looking for similar details. Sorry if this has been previously discussed.
1) From Application menu click on Email
2) Click on left button(settings) and click Add account
3) After you are done putting you information for username and password in, click on Manual Setup
4) Click on IMAP
5) For IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com - Port: 143 leave the rest alone
6) For SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com - Port 587 leave the rest as they are.
7) Follow the steps per your preferences and you are done!
I hope I could help a bit.

Yahoo.com does that, Yahoo.(other country) will have pop3 access automatically.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I managed to sort out my yahoo mail. It is however for *@yahoo.co.uk
Note that I'm on the regular Yahoo mail, not Plus or anything paid. However I am on the new yahoo interface as opposed to classic.
1. Log into your yahoo mail and click on "options" on the far right area of your screen
2. Select "More Options..."
3. Click on "Pop and Forwarding" on the left menu
4. Ensure "Allow your Yahoo Mail to be POPed" is selected.
Ok now onto your phone settings (change yahoo.co.uk to *.com where applicable).
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk (use authentication, optionally use port 587)
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")
Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g. [email protected])
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
Hope it helps

[Working settings] Yahoo Mail + Hotmail IMAP settings / Froyo 2.2 unified email inbox

Hi guys,
It took a lot of forums research in order to find a solution to working Yahoo Mail in the unified inbox for Android Froyo 2.2. This is tested and 100% working, both over WIFI & 3G.
If you want to have imap yahoo mail in Froyo, these are the settings:
Incoming settings:
IMAP Server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security type: SSL
IMAP Path prefix: [leave this blank]
Outgoing settings:
SMTP Server: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL
Make sure the box is ticked for 'Require sign-in'
Also, if you use the default setup for your hotmail account you will not be getting push email or IMAP, just POP3 email which is annoying for some people.
In order to get true push email + IMAP for HOTMAIL use this settings:
Incoming settings:
Enter your email account and password
Do no hit next, instead click Manual Setup
Chose Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
In the Domain\Username field: delete everything and enter your email address
In the Server field: enter m.hotmail.com
Keep the box ticked for 'Use secure connection (SSL)' and keep the box unticked for 'Accept all SSL certificates'
Hit Next

juicecultus...you saved me. My MSN just stopped syncing and I couldn't get anything on my phone ... Thanks for the info!!! You da Bomb!!

I have tried the settings which shagge68 has suggested, but it did not work. I have Froyo 2.2 and this setting has worked for me. Thanks a lot.

Setting working but unable to send mail
Settings are working and have tried other setting also, but still not able to send mail from yahoo. I have seen may uses have the same problem. Is there any problem with android 2.2?

Set up outlook in the android default email app?

Has anyone had success trying to set up their outlook account with the stock email app ? How did you do it

By outlook do you mean exchange account? If so you need to open outlook and edit accounts. Copy settings into the mail account setup fields on N4. Its pretty straight forward.

By outlook i mean the "new" service microsoft rolled out as the sucessor of hotmail, I dont know if outlook its exchange, it should be since microsoft made it right? or maybe imap?

In the email app, enter your username/password, select exchange, and then on your comp log into your outlook account, then on the top right corner select options, then select 'see all options.'
Once you're there select 'Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access' a little window should pop up.
Back on the phone. What you do is enter your email again where it says username and password.
On the server blank field copy the server under 'pop setting' in the little window.
Then hit next and follow the directions after.

Shouldn't even need to do that. Once you type in your email address it should auto populate just like if you do an @live.com or @Hotmail.com. That's the autodiscover service on an Exchange server which is usually at https://autodiscover.outlook.com (or.live.com or whatever).

I fill out with my outlook address , then select exchange, and on the next screen it auto populates but when i press next it says username or password incorrect, and i'm sure its the right password :/

You mean in outlook choose more mail settings ? once im there there's no "Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access" , are you talking about the microsoft outlook app? im talking about the outlook website, i dont use the app on my computer

I only put exchange server and on server field I had to manually add mail. (at the beginning)

Don't manually click manual setup, just click next and the email client will run off to the autodiscovery server and get the proper settings.
I haven't tested it with Outlook.com emails but with Live.com it works just fine.
if you do manual it should be:
\[email protected]
password
the server can be a few different ones but generally m.hotmail.com
SSL should be enabled.

I put my username / password then exchange server, then it goes:
domain/user
server
(here I added at the beginning "mail.")

just do add account, fill in your account and password then click next. don't check manual.. it'll sort itself out. I did that just now with my hotmail account and it found the settings itself and just went ahead and set it up. don't choose exchange or corporate. just choose new account.

Maybe it works automatically for hotmail but not for outlook. trust me im not choosing manual settings i just fill out my mail and password and press continue and then it asks me which type of account it is :crying:

There's no "options" just the settings icon and then when i press it, all that resembles see all options is "more mail settings" and inside "more mail settings" there's no "'Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access'" option

hmm that is weird. I just found this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/outlook-to-go#1TC=t1 and under android it has either.. get the hotmail app or visit the website. that doesn't seem to suggest there are some settings does it? weird. I hope it is supported natively as that sucks if not.
not a heck of a lot of help from me on this sorry, but good luck.. sure there must be a work around

I set it up the following way by manual:
Domain\Username: \[email protected]
Password: obvious
Server: col-m.hotmail.com
Use secure connection (SSL): Mark
Accept all SSL certificates: Not marked
Client certificate: None
Port: 443
For an MSN account which I used with my own domain (not live.com, hotmail.com or outlook.com email)
Here I have as server: bay-m.hotmail.com
Hope it helps

Thanks, this worked for me also.
Update: It worked on my Motorola razr xt910, running Android 4.0.4, but the setup isn't working on my Cube U9GT2 tablet running Android 4.1.1. I tried most everything else suggested here on the Cube, and nothing has worked so far. I don't know how significant the ICS vs JB is, but the problem also could be related to the obscure Renegade rom I am running on the Cube tablet.

These also work fine with an outlook.com address...
Incoming settings:
username: emailaddress @ outlook . com
password: your password
pop3 server: pop3.live.com
port: 995
security type: SSL/TLS
Delete email from server: never
Outgoing Settings:
SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Security Type: STARTTLS
Require Sign-in: YES
Username: same as username above
Password: same as above

Why has no one answered the question directly yet? As from what I've played with, I can't figure how to make it the default mail app on your phone. It would be nice to be able to use one, easy mail service for ALL your emails rather than the stock email service, gmail, ymail app, and be limited in those apps. I know what you're saying, but it doesn't sound like anyone else in the comment thread does.
