Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync allows your phone to be instantly updated with new e-mail, calendar entries, and contact updates. Not only has this instant updating, known as “push,” been an option for Exchange/Outlook accounts from the start, Google beat Microsoft with this feature over a year ago, with its Sync technology.
Here’s the steps to set up push Hotmail using ActiveSync on your iPhone or iPod touch. After doing this you will automatically be notified when a new email arrives rather then waiting for a scheduled check.
The steps are given below.
Step One: Press to select Settings from your iPhone SpringBoard.
Step Two: Press to select Mail, Contacts, Calendars from the Settings Menu.
Step Three: Press Add Account.
Step Four: Select Microsoft Exchange from the list of account types.
Step Five: Enter your full hotmail email address for the Email and Username fields then fill in your password. Press the Next button at the top right of the screen to continue.
Step Six: Input m.hotmail.com as the server address and press the Next button.
Step Seven: Use the switches to select which items you would like to sync and press the Save button.
That’s all.
Worked like a charm, Thank you so much, My hotmail on my iphone just stopped working there the other day, This solved it quickly!! Also means i can now access my folders aswell!!
Thank you
Thank you. Works better than before
Why every email’s content needs to be loaded manually when accessing the email? How to sync/auto load the contents?
Hi !!
I tried this, but I get an error message
“Unable to verify account information” when clicking Next on step 6…
Any idea about that ?
I checked several times the spelling of my email address, and the password too. But everything is correctly entered.
HELP !! 🙂
Forget about it… It’s working now : I just switched on the wifi !! 😀
Thanks a bunch mate !! It works like a charm.
Cheers
I did the exact same thing but it keeps asking my exchange account password which I don’t have.
Thank you so much for this. I wish this showed up higher in the search engines. This hotmail email problem has plagued me for over a year. I thought I had looked everyhwere for a solution. This finally fixed the problem on both my iphone and ipad.
Does this work for hotmail.co.uk as well or do I have to change server to m.hotmail.co.uk?
