I've managed it now
There's a thread on this in the Wizard forum. You probably need to go to MSN and set up your account with a few more details to make it work on the xda. I've just now managed to get mine working after about a week.

A quick search with google tells me your Imail server must be Ver 11

HI , after loads of frustration not being able to set up HOTMAIL on a WINDOWS MOBILE phone (HD2) i have about given up .
i have called my provider and contacted HTC and searched the net over and over for a solution .
i havent found a thing to set up my hotmail account to receive mails directly to my account until this morning while surfing YET AGAIN for a solution .
i thought i would share this with others that are having the same problem with their HOTMAIL account .
this worked for me so far . i have to click on Send/receive to receive an email but maybe it will work if i just wait out the 5 minute intervals for receiving , which i havent done yet.
I have waited the 5 minutes to receive and it is working . just to clairify !
for a person like me that isnt very good at setting up the settings correctly this was easy and problem free
here are the steps
1. Create a new email account.
2. In the email field write your email but replace the “@hotmail.com” with “@hotmail.con”, this way the OS is not going to load Windows live messenger to sync your email.
3. Disable the option “Try to get e-mail settings…”
4. Select the email provider, in this case, Internet e-mail.
5. Complete the name and account display name
6. Incoming server: “pop3.live.com:995″. Account type: POP3
7. Complete the form with your username and password. Note: the username is your full email address: “[email protected]” and not “yourusername”.
8. Outgoing mail server: “smtp.live.com:25″. Check the “outgoing server requires au…”. Click on Advanced settings and check the “Require SSL…” for incoming and outgoing e-mail.
9. Complete the rest of the setup.
10. Now, go to your email account and go to Tools > Options, once there, click on the email account you just created and click on “Edit account setup.” NOTE: It might make you wait until it syncs 1 time.
11. Replace the “@hotmail.con” with the right one “@hotmail.com” and hit next ’till the end of the setup, and done.
now click the HOME button on your handset .go to your email accounts and you will see a new email called hotmail.con .
this is the new email you just created .
you can now receive emails from your hotmail account .
click manually send / receive and it should start loading everything from your hotmail account .
I hope this has helped somone out there .
peace out !

im glad this is solved .

I just don't get the whole story. You don't need to have Windows Live running in order to use Hotmail as push mail. You only need to run Windows Live ONCE in order to setup your account. After that Hotmail is working like any other mail account.

I found this with a search of this very forum. You should have searched first before posting.
As you said though - credit to those who deserve it.

Absolutely. That post is actually for adding more hotmail accounts, which you can't do by default. (Well, it's for adding them manually, rather than through live, which in turn allows you to have more than 1.)
can you elaborate a bit more on your post .

Then search harder in future. When you've been on here longer and helped people more, you may appreciate how frustrating it is to see the same things posted repeatedly. Until that point, you don't understand so you think it's okay. This is not "more useless posts on why you posted this". This is trying to reiterate that you need to improve your "lack of search terminology".
I'm not arguing with you, so therefore will post on this matter no more. Say what you need to say and forget about it.
i have words of advice for you .
i am a senior member on another forum with 130,000 posts over many years .
if you see something that you know has been asked before , why read the Thread/post . who gave you the GOD of the forums title and the search function.
be kind , that will make your life alot easier instead of posting crap like " search harder" and so on .
i do take offence to posts like yours when i am in the newb seat on this board . welcome me and then post a simple link to the related thread that has already been posted .
not this .
your original post .

Thank you so much, Tim I finally got Hotmail working on my HD2.
Cheers m8 .
glad it al worked out .
/T
I've followed your instructions and glad to report that it works, well kinda. The emails in my Hotmail In Box are now on my phone, but, I can't get the phone to sync to the additional folders that I have created in my Hotmail account.
Example, log into Hotmail using a browser on PC.
Go to folders and you'll have Inbox, Sent etc. I've also created a couple of others like Job Search.
Go to your email on your phone and you only have Inbox and Sent
Any ideas on how I get it to sync with the other folders in my Hotmail account?
I hope the above makes sense, shout if not and I'll do my best to go further into it.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
Sorry to dig up an old post.
I have used this method to setup an additional hotmail account. It works well enough to received mails but if I read (or delete) the same mail from Outlook on my desktop PC it does not mark the mail as read (or delete it) on my HD2 even if I do a manual send and receive. Sync is set to "every 5 minutes".
Is there any way to solve this problem?
i seem to be receiving this error "windows live is temporarily unavailable . please try again "
about every 5 minutes .
anyone else and is there a fix for this . how to turn off windows live ?
Cheers
/T
Go to start, windows live, menu, options, sync schedule and change the frequency to manual. That should stop the error message.
something weird happened to my wl messenger 2 months ago as i get the hd2. that time i tried the messenger the first time... everything perfekt, but after a day i think ALL my contacs were gone. even from the windows live servers. can this have anything to do with the hd2? i don't care much because i have most of my contact in other messenging apps too, but still...
thanks for that m8 . but they are still coming ( errors =)

Cool.
You're obviously not getting any emails either, but if the service was down then you wouldn't anyway, would you
You can just do a manual send & receive to check the service, rather than go through the settings route.

When you log in to live it includes your live contacts in your phones contacts. If you delete a live contact from within your phones contacts, it also deletes it from windows live, i believe.
