Hotmail / MSN POP3 settings - G1 General

It seems that this is a little known fact that msn / Hotmail pop3 access can be gained using these settings.
I find that K9 Mail works better than the standard email app.
Incoming:
Username: [email protected]
Password: your password
POP server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Security type: SSL (always)
Outgoing:
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Port: 25 / 587
Security type: TLS (always)
Username: [email protected]
Password: your password
When i first set an account up it brings back some blank mail, which i delete after that it works fine.

not sure if this still works but back in december you could get your existing hotmail.com account linked by changing your location to Australia and using default settings.

I just set it up as an account to import from on my GMail and its working great so far. Over 10k messages imported and now I have a decent junk mail filter and can see when I get an email in a timely fashion rather than having to remember to login to hotmail every once in a while.

i'm in US..it worked good. thanx for tip

Thread revival! I've put in the above settings but my phone doesn't seem to want to connect with the hotmail account. Yet its accepted the settings. I go to launch the mail app, the little refresh icon spins but no emails come up (even though I know I have unread emails waiting for me). Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Just had the same issue with my Hotmail.co.uk in K9, everything had been working up until the last couple of days, no changes had been made.
I had tried re-entering the fetching mail details, which it accepted, but still no mail was being fetched.
I managed to fix it by:
- From the account summary page, tap & hold on the account
- Choose 'Advanced'
- Choose 'Recreate data (last resort)'
NOTE: This will wipe any existing mails from the chosen K9 account & recreate the account profile.
All my emails then came flooding in

works!!! thanx

username n password keep on poping up..
Settings are:
Username: your complete email, including '@gmail.com'
incoming server: pop.gmail.com
outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
Remember to enable pop3 access on the Settings panel in Gmail.
You have to use non-default port number for the SSL.
465 for outgoing
995 for incoming
so it's:
pop.gmail.com:995
smtp.gmail.com:465

ok I managed to retrieve my email but unfortunately I can't sending an email. so any idea?
Come to think of it, I was having this issue early on as well. I just used a different outgoing server to send my mails. Luckily my carrier provides a free email and I simply used their outgoing server settings for the gmail account and everything worked after that. If you have another mail account that works try setting the outgoing mail server on your gmail account to the other working server.
how if I dont have any. But why is it? Why gmail outgoing is not working?
My gmail is working fine on my jam. I don't use any special port numbers either. You need to go to the advanced section in account setup and select SSL and also check the authentication on send box. That worked for me.
Sometimes being connected with activesync can cause an email account to get blocked because the PC has been collecting emails.
Gmail working fine for me too, used EmailWiz to set it up. Newer version even includes gmail so takes about 30 secs (early version needed a couple more details). Might be worth deleting your current account and trying?
As you're receiving mail I guess you've turned the proxy settings on with your gmail account, that got me first time I tried.

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 worked for me.
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?
if not, how to change it?

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.

[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

check your smtp settings
When you are entering the email account, please use manual configuration. I use ATT-yahoo and the configuration of the servers are as follows:
pop: pop.att.yahoo.com (this is incoming)
smtp: smtp.att.yahoo.com (this is outgoing, where you problem seems to be)
both are security type: none (in both cases username and password is used)
Good luck

I tried but still not working " cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information. Your server is not responding".
believe me I tried many variations and nothing worked
verify account information is good.
I do not know the extension for Rumania, but should be something like this:
1) configure the e-mail manually and use type pop
2) Once you enter you see protocol (pop)
3) e-mail (your complete email. [email protected]er contry extension I think "ru" (without apostrophes)
4) username (same with the @ yahoo.ru)
5) pop server: pop.mail.yahoo.com.ru
6) security type : None
7) server port: 110
on smtp:
1) check login required
2) username (same as in pop your [email protected]
3) smtp server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com.ru
4) security type: none
5) server port 25
Note in the US is without the ru at the end.
This should work. If it doesn't the problem is in your username or password
I tried but still not working. what problem could be from my username or password?
If using another email account works without problems.
Same problem here. i tried everything, stil not working
I realized the problem is coming or from yahoo servers or from htc because if i trying another mail account is working very well with nativ mail only with my main account i have problem and another thing the yahoo mail app from market it working very well with all my account including the main account. :-(
anyone find a fix? Yahoo & gmail NEVER notify or load new e-mails (stock mail app)...
