the best way to sync/ use hotmail is with the windows live software installed
it just happened on my nike, the same problem as jackyjang has
although i sync it using windows live, there is no new/previous email that i should have received
Do this...
1) Go Start
2) Programs
3) Scroll to windows live and click it
4) Click Menu
5) Chose Account Options
6) Select Switch Windows Live ID
7) It will ask you to switch the id and you wont see your exiting account...chose yes
Now go to email setup and set up in normal way...doing this it wont take you to browser and you will get all the emails in your handphone
Be sure to use syn email option during email setup
Cheers

i did it already, i should get my new/previous mails in MAIL tab but there is nothing, it's empty
solved after hard reset

Tried to configure an account on the Outlook Email - Touch Diamond. (just for kicks.. wanted to try something)
Messed up.
Question is - how do I delete that account?
Any help?
P.s. I did try the search first, didn't find anything. Sorry if this is a repeat
there are several ways to reach to that page, one is to go to the mail tab on your main screen, press menu, go to accounts, select the account, press menu again and delete it
for ordinary email accounts:
Start/programs/messaging/highlight the account/right soft key(menu)/delete
for exchange server accounts
Do this through Activestink
for Hot/Live mail
do this through Windows live
hope that helps

Thanks for the help, mate. But.. that doesn't work with the Outlook Email thing.
It works for other accounts, but not for the Outlook one.

That one you will probably have to remove via Activesync
Start the application
menu/options/Highlight the account you don't want and press delete.

Hi guys I have an htc diamond no brand and i am getting crazy with the setup of the mail. i mean the account email from the tf3d tab. every time i try to set it up (i have an hotmail free account) i cannot complete the configuration because opera starts up and i go to the webpage of hotmail. If i close opera, no account have been created so i have to start from the beginning again. i cannot save the account, i am able to fill in only the page when it asks the email and the password, nothing more!!! what's up??(((

i tried to set up an outlook account and it works, it is saved but i can't do it with hotmail... why??
Err... the FREE Hotmail doesn't support pop3...
does it?
You can set it up with outlook and it SHOULD work with Windows Live.
Hmm, I've set up my Hotmail account twice without problems as far as I can remember. Entered my email address and password, tapped Next and it was recognized as such by the set up software. Maybe having Windows Live Mobile installed has something to do with it? You can try if that helps if you want. Here you can find the cab file, courtesy of my custom ROM dealer
When it opens up opera it goes to the windows live login page. Just press log on or whatever it says and enter your info. should work since I've done it several times..
it starts opera to windows live page and then i clic on hotmail but i only cann see the mails from the webpage and no account is created. every time i have to do the same thing...

Hi there. I had the same problem as you. But I solved it.
When I first got my phone I configured it so hotmail would turn up in my inbox, without opera or any browser, but since I installed the latest ROM I couldn't get it to work - when I tried to configure hotmail as my email it wouldn't save my account - just open up Opera.
But I now know how to do it. You can't set hotmail as your email directly, you need to configure Messenger to do it. WHen you do that, you are asked if you want to use Live (something) as well as Live Search. I removed Live search but kept the first one. Then I was asked if I wanted my email and contacts to be synchronized and I klicked Ok. Now when I click on my emailtab I have my hotmail emails there!
/S
Thanks for the advice. Work fine for me.
On my Windows Mobile 5, I had my Hotmail account in my Outlook. It looked just like any other email account. Now with WM6 on my Touch Pro, when I try to set up my Hotmail account, it just opens the web browser and take me to the Hotmail website, so I must log in there to get my emails. Just like any other webmail.
Is there a way to get Hotmail in my Outlook on WM6?
Have you tried logging into Messenger on the device? It should take you to the Windows Live setup screen, then select sync email (I disabled the sync contacts thing since it messed up my contacts). Hotmail should appear in your mail accounts then
Great! Thanks a lot, it worked
heya, I'm a first time wimo user and i tried to do the stuff you mentioned above, but it didn't work. I got into messenger, but it takes me straight to my contacts list. apart from that i couldn't find the option to sync the contact list. I accessed the messenger software through messages/messenger

While you were setting up your Messenger account there should be a screen that asks if you want to syncronise your Hotmail contacts and emails to your device. If you missed that you might need to re-do the signup process again.
actually, this does work but if u log out of messenger, the mailbox also disappears... hummm...... so its not a perm solution.
I encounter a similiar as you do. I have dl another version Windows Live from http://wl.windowsmobile.com, but you have to remove the HTC PRO existing version which have IM function, this one dl does not. [I use Ebuddy to connect my MSN instead.]

Thank You, this worked for me
Hotmail location
I checked through my installed programs and the only messaging client i can find is the one with msn aol and yahoo bundled together. is it possible i need to instal a cab to get the messenger w/ hotmail working, or iam i not looing in the correct directory on the fuze?
Try Windows Live Hotmail for Windows Mobile
http://www.gowindowslive.com/Mobile/Landing/HMforWM/Default.aspx?Locale=en-US
the link should take you to the download of the program. Once you install you can set up your hotmail account in you phone and it should go through a process of accepting terms and conditions, etc and then it should appear normally in your phone.
Hope this works.

Does this work if you want to add more than one Hotmail accounts?
You can also use the beta @ http://www.seven.com which will let you have several hotmail accounts. I use it, and it works pretty well.
been trying it from last night but everytime I try to set up the email it keeps saying
Server busy...The server is busy now. Please try again. (108)

Hi, i just update my Xperia X1 with the new R3A update, and all seems to be fine, until i try to configure mi Hotmail account in the e-mail services.
It seems to find the configuration for the Hotmail account, but when i finish the configuration process, the Opera Mini gets open and reddirects me to the mobile Windows Live site.
Does anyone had this same issue?
Thanks a lot!

I've always had trouble with inputting settings for the email service for Hotmail, but windows live usually does the trick for me. Have you tried the windows live app that comes with the phone?
Hi Sfkn2!
I usually use the e-mail app for all my e-mail accounts, POP3, Gmail and Hotmail. Just today it starts not working.
Maybe it's a Windows strategy for us beginning using more the Windows Live App.
I notice a few minutes ago that Opera is the predeterminated browser now.
Weird....
No idea what happened but I am experiencing the same problem. I would rather do the send/receive thing then open up opera to view my hotmail. any fixes for this?
Didn't had the problem. But you can try windows live to configure you're hotmail.

hi.
So where do I go exactly to configure this? I can't find it when I re-directed to mobiles.live.com via Opera.
I just want it so I can download my hotmail messages directly to the phone via clicking on send/receive. There must be a fix for this.
Download and USE Windows Live Panel!

My question is why is this only happening on the r3 rom when it didn't happen on the rom1 or rom2 ?
Just config it manually.
First, create an account with some unknown email address such as [email protected] (we will change back later) then edit account settings and use these parameters.
Incoming mail server : pop3.live.com
User name: Your FULL email address ex. [email protected]
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server : smtp.live.com
Check those 2 boxes. (require authentication & same username)
Click Advance server settings. Check another 2 boxes.
Done.
thx kanthai, this method worked for me perfectly..
Thanks man!
updating windows live does the trick, the R3A rom does not include the latest build
how do you update windows live??
also would the push email work with these setting as ive never managed to get that working?

I can't seem to send emails now with the above settings. I can however still download emails to my phone. It was working fine a few months ago.
I get the error "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network courage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again"
Any ideas why?
Solution found
Guys, I have found a solution after almost one week frustrating, I got same issue as suddenly my hotmail account disappeared. When ever I tried to add account in email wizard, it was redirecting to opera with mail.live.com. I spent so many hours on XDA and many other forums but was unable to fix this. Right now just 5 minutes ago, by playing here and there, I found a solution, I have successfully added my hotmail account and it working 100% perfect. Not sure if it was a particular fix only.. but I will highly recommend to who ever have had this issue, try these steps.....
Go to Start menu, programs....
Click on Windows Live.... ( note, its "Windows Live" icon, no email or live messenger etc....
Now you are on windows live desktop, windows search box is at top of page.
Click on right bottom corner, "menu" and choose "Account Option"
Choose first option..... "Clear Password" .. done?
Choose second option, "Switch Windows Live ID"
Wait for a while and wizard will bring you to windows "Sign in" page....
Just close this page and you are done....
Go back to your "Email Wizard" and add new account as hotmail....
You will able to add hotmail account without any problem.
This is what worked for me after one week almost trying every thing. I am on X1i using Touch IT Leo 11. Please leave comments if it work for you. Good luck to all.
