I am unsure of how to access this. When I go to start>programs>setup email, it shows an option for windows live mail, so i tap on that, input all the required information, and there is no option to view email. I even downloaded the program from the microsoft site and i cannot see anything related to email. When I checked the about screen in windows live it does mention email being one of the installed components. Can anyone help?
it should be set up in the default messaging program now.
Check out this thread...
If you’ve already gone through the first time setup of Windows Live app, then try this. Open the app, tab “Menu”, then “Options”, then “Sync Options”, and make sure “Sync e-mail” is toggled on.
Thank you very much.. Sync email was not checked!

I never tried Windows Live Mobile before and saw it came with the latest Black Pro 2.0 so I been experimenting around with it since I have an hotmail account.
Windows Live isn't that all bad and it even syncs contacts with your hotmail contacts so I was wondering if it does push mail becasue I haven't seen any setting for it or a setting to check mail every x minutes etc on it.
I have search on internet to find docs or instruction but all I found was "Join the beta trial" etc on it.
I am also trying to figure out how to get MSN Weather on my mobile too since beta site said it avaiable as well too.
Thanks
Did you really check your settings?
Under Menu >> Options >> Sync Schedule
It clearly should say: "As they arrive."
It was set to manual but I also found it at http://blogs.msdn.com/mayurk/archiv...dows-live-hotmail-and-windows-mobile-6-0.aspx
so I change it to as item arrive.
Thanks

Greetings,
I configured my gmail account in my ppc but it just won't download any emails, when it's finished with 'Checking headers' my indbox stays blank, without a single email, have anyone experienced this problem?
No, I have not experienced this problem.
Is this a Palm Treo 750W you are using?
No, I am using a kinpo neon with windows mobile 5.0
use the google gmail java application
I just use the Gmail - java application. YOu can get it from mobile.google.com I think. I couldn't check it as google was down. This is simpler for me.
Otherwise try to change email settings in activesync
goto menu, options, email, settings - ensure you have download of entire message selected. Hope this works.
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone of you know if it is possible to set up my e-mail account on my TD2 to automatically do a background search for new e-mails when i'm online (browsing, using the youtube app etc) instead of having to go to the menu and select send/receive?
Maybe this question has been posted before and in that case I apologize, I did a search but couldn't find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance

In e-mail, go to menu\tools\options\ select your acount and go through the settings until you see where to set Delivery options to "as arrives"
Thanks for the answer, but I can't find this setting. I am using windows live mail, and when I go to the settings page and select this account it opens "Windows live settings" whrere I can select today screen options, roaming options etc but I can't find the "as arrives" option. Could it be because it is a windows live account?
Yes, that is the reason. Since WL is a POP3 account, it can't push emails out to you. You can only pull emails from it.
Gday Guys,
Been searching the threads for the last couple of days, but cant seem to see the solution. Just wonder if anyone can help.? I had to complete reset my HTC HD2 after loading some software that screwed it up, everything seems to be fine now apart form email...
I am trying to add a hotmail account, but its not doing what its told to..lol.. this is what ive done so far:
1. Bottom slider to email tab (as i dont av hotmail set up, there is nothing on this tab apart from "no mail account, tap to add a mail account".
2. Tapped "add account"
3. Tapped "Other"
4. Inputed the said email address (@hotmail.com) and password, ticked save password
5. Then pressing "next"
Now, this is where it goes wrong, for some reason it is sending me to the windows live page......where as before i had to reset my phone, all i had to do was go to the email screen, hit menu then send/receive, and it would deliver all my emails to my email screen...
Its really annoying that it sends me to the windows live page. Does anyone knows why this is happening..?? i think it might be to do with my proxy settings...??
For anyone else who has this problem, pse do the following, and it will sort this annoying problem out...
DO EXACT AS I SAY AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DELETE IT.
Tap the Windows flag, and select the "Windows Live" program..
Tap menu.
Tap Account Options
Tap Switch Account.
Tap Yes
And you should now be at a screen to accept an agreement!
You have now taken Hotmail off the HD2!
BY THE WAY, THANKS TO DAYRON24 for this solution:

in post 1 step 4 put your email address as "hotmail.not" or something, doesn't mater what so long as its not a genuine hotmail domain so the phone won't start the hotmail wizard.when finished, do send and receive and then edit your email address back to correct hotmail.com
just download and install Windows Live from marketplace, and tick the box with "synchronize-email", this will automatically give you another e-mailaccount in sense.
Thanks guys,
All i did to rectify this problem was follow post 2, and it worked perfectly, i tried before to input a different email using @hotmail.con or @notmail.com etc, but for some reason when i changed it back to hotmail.com, it still took me to the Live website, bizarre, but anyway all good now.
Thanks again
Mark
glad you,re sorted.
I should have added that you have to edit back the email address from wm email settings, not the htc email wizard.
my bad.
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.

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!
