When I go to setup my hotmail on my Tilt using the default messaging program, just as I had it on my 8525, it wont let me. Gives me a link to Windows Live's web site. WTF?!?
Same here. Wonder what's up with that. From what I understand, Hotmail does not use standard POP/IMAP mail either, so you can not enter the settings manually.
Go Find the additional CAB files
For some reason, At&T didn't add the windows Live services. Once you install that, Outlook Mobile will let you set up MSN or Hotmail accounts.

hi, i installed windows live and the outlook still does not let me set up my hotmail account as it was in prevous version of wm, is there any way around ?
cudo
you set up your hotmail through the windows live site that it forwards you to then after you have done that you'll see your hotmail account listed in your messages program.
for some resons it does not work for me. i have got windows live installed on my device VARIO III and when i go to messages and setting up new account it forwards me to the windows live website so i go there and all it lets me do is just read my email. once i will sign out and press "finish" new account does not appear in my pocket outlook.
are you sure you are not using hotmail with pop/smtp ?
cheers

when I installed Windows Live software and logged into the software it setup my hotmail account in outlook for me, I never had to go to the add account in outlook. You cannot manually add it because it is supported by windows live software. I would try reinstall windows live and then log in and check your mail once through it. After that you should be able to hit the mail icon on your phone and it take you to hotmail in outlook.
Installing Windows Live from the CAB Sticky Fixed this for me. Thanks for the heads up!
yeah, there was a problem some versions of windows live...the one from the sticky is a fixed version...
ok all is good now. installed the fixed version from the sticky and after having it set up i got my windows live account in outlook
cheers for the pointers
Anyone able to dail from their calendar from WM6? I am on a Tilt running WM6 with Mobile Office 6.1 but it is not working for me ....
should be:
tel:xxxxxxxxxx
in the notes of any calendar item but not for me....
here is the Microsoft URL .....
http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2430713&SiteID=65&mode=1
figured it out.. think I have found a bug ... i was initially using my PC updating my calendar item in the notes and then letting MS AS sync the change to the phone ... never got that to work ... but if i just add the number to the notes on my PC then Sync to the phone ...then go into the phone and add tel: to the front of the number as well as a space after the number - it works!
Is there a way to do this without having to edit the appointment on the phone?
is there a registry tweak or CAB file that will automatically recognize phone numbers and emails in the calendar?
Also, I noticed it is not possible to this in the subject line, only the notes.
I don't understand why this is automatically done in WM 6 standard on my Moto Q and not in WM 6 pro on my Kaiser. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I used to have a Wizard and in the ROM was Windows Live and I set this up for my Hotmail account. When I started Messaging (i.e. Pocket Outlook) I was presented with four options - SMS \ MMS, Outlook E-mail, Windows Live & Setup E-mail. With my Kaiser I also have Windows Live included in the ROM however when I set it up with my Hotmail account and then launch Messaging I am presented with SMS \ MMS, Outlook E-mail, Hotmail & Setup E-mail.
I know it is pretty trivial and merely aesthetic but I preferred 'Windows Live' to 'Hotmail'. I have tried in vain to edit the .rgu & provxml files and then re-cook the ROM to change this but have only managed to screw it up more than 'fix' it. Does anyone know what needs changing to make this 'aesthetic' change?
It's Windows Live version 10.6.34.800 and its provided as three folders in SYS in the kitchen (WindowsLive, WindowsLive_DPI_96 & WindowsLive_Lang_0409).
Thanks

It is cool that Diamond can get all the new updates from Windows Live Server.
But after I changed the contact info on my Diamond, then do a sync, it won't update the server.
It seems like one directional sync.
Is it true or I am missing something (I hope ) ?
Thanks
Again, this site is super
The latest version (and maybe one before it?) of Windows Live Messenger for computers (Windows, not mobile devices) supports being signed in from multiple locations at once, and you receive IMs to both locations and both locations also show what you type. Is there anything for WM 6.5 like this as of yet? I want to be available on MSN wherever I go without having a separate account, but also not forcing my desktop to be signed off. The version with the 6.5 roms doesn't support this. Also, if anyone does know of a custom version or some other app that does it, I need it to use data and not SMS/text messaging.
Any help would be appreciated..
