Hotmail on Windows Mobile 6.1

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.]

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)

tried it about 5 times since morning too

Sim contacts selection

I have been trying to set my default phone book as just my Sim contacts. ie. just to use the numbers saved in my sim. But I cant seem to do that on my HTC diamond. anyone has any idea?
And, after signing into windows live messenger via my phone, i realised my contact list is full of my msn contacts, ie. the email addresses of my msn contacts, which is why I wana select the option of just using my sim contacts. Anyone who can give me solution on this?
Really appreciate any help rendered.
Thanks guys...
Cheer,

when signing into messenger (or in options since youve signed in) untick the sync contacts part

The options menu dont have that "(or in options since youve signed in) untick the sync contacts part " anymore.. You can only select it when u sign in first into msn messenger..

What is the best way to manage contacts?

Hi,
As title. I wish to Sync my contacts from my Google account from a specific group but the default sync apps will sync all the contacts to my phone.
Is there a app that can choose which Google Contacts Group to Sync? Btw, the default Sync is it a one way sync or two way sync?
Thanks

Open up your contacts.
Go to "Groups".
Hit the Menu button on the phone.
In the menu, select "Sync Groups".
Select/Unselect your groups.

Thanks, I think the ROM I am using right now doesn't have this program Contacts as it is using People.

honestly?
wow ok
sorry replace "people" with contacts
+ he said go to your contacts not go to the app called contacts

You may find that the default groups dont sync from Google to your phone. It took me a while to realise this when I moved to Android in August last year!!
Basically the following default groups in google wont sync to your phone:
Friends
Family
Colleagues
Yeah, I know it sucks, but it is how it is!!
The only way I found to get round it was to create 3 new groups with similar names and use them INSTEAD of the default groups.
I setup the following:
My Friends
My Family
My Colleagues
This has worked well for me and all contacts in these new groups sync well.
I hope that helps?

[Q] Disable syncing contacts from google acct

Hi,
Previously I was using a Dell Streak and I was able to disable contact syncing with my Google accounts.
Actually I have 2 google accounts and I wanna sync only contacts with one of them.
On Galaxy Note , I couldn't find the setting to disable contact syncing with one account.
How can I do that ?
thx.

Hi,
I really need a solution for this because I've duplicate contacts now.
Any idea on how to delete contacts from one Google account on the phone ?

Go to contacts--Options--More--Accounts
Select the account you dont want your contacts to be merged from. Uncheck "Sync Contacts"
Hope that helped.
Cheers

thanks. that option disables further sync of contacts from that account but it didn't delete the contacts coming from that account.
How can I delete existing contacts of that account ?
Also, I need the similar for calendar. Is there similar option ?

All'ite. Why don't you do this?
At this step you have disabled syncing your contacts to an account;lets call that account GAcc2. Lets call the account that you would like the contacts to be synced/Displayed from as GAcc1
Now you want to delete the contacts that have been synced from GAcc2.
So Go to Contacts--More--Display Options--Accounts and select contacts to be displayed only from GAcc2(i.e. uncheck the contact boxes for GAcc1). After this step the contacts that are displayed are only from GAcc2(the one you don't want). Simply select all the contacts and delete them. So this means we deleted "ONLY" GAcc2 contacts.
After this step again go to "Display Options" and under accounts select GAcc1.
and voila you will have only GAcc1 contacts left.
Do the same with calendar.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.

thank you. that's a good idea.
But when I delete from my Note, is there a risk of deleting them from Google acct GAcc2 ?
Also, some contacts are coming from both Google accounts. When I delete them, will I lose them from both accounts ?
And, how can I do that for calendar ? I can't find the correct app...
thx

Keep Auto Sync off, that will niether sync mail/contact/calender, when you need to sync it manually, just press on desire item n it will sync for that time only.
Further Now you can get Gmail with setup of Email application separately.

No that would be not an issue. Remember at that step you would have switched syncing to GAcc2 as "off". Just make sure you don't click "Merge with google".
If you are really scared and want to be backup proof i would suggest this;
I'm sure you would be having windows installed with Microsoft office. Microsoft office would have an app called microsoft exchange. Create a dummy account in exchange with a local Dat. Then go to google and search for tools to copy google contacts to exchange. There are plenty. Once you are done with that you would have a backup of your contacts. Similarly there are plenty of tools to do the reverse as well i.e. Microsoft Exchange -->Google server; this way you can restore it too.
Regarding the calendar its the same thing bro.
Browse to Settings-->Account and Sync--> select the account that you dont want calendar to be synced from-->Uncheck 'Sync Calendar'
Hope that helped.
Cheers.

Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
THis post intended for people who use Exchange
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
To prevent your Google Accounts showing up in an Exchange Server minded device, uncheck autosync.
Create your Exchange account first, sync
Uncheck autosync
disable Wifi (your device must have slow connection)
Then add your google account.
Press Sync, but be DAMN fast to go to the account settings and quickly
uncheck the Contact,Calendar.
This way, you can have a fully Exchange server minded device, without
any junk from Google Downloaded, with Market access.

Strange Contact Issue

I have a client that has a Droid Turbo and is syncing his contacts with an Exchange Server. He has about 500 contacts in Outlook on his computer but when it syncs with the Droid he has about 4000.
I can not figure out where they are coming from. I did notice the extra contacts are coming from contact groups but I searched everywhere in Outlook and can not find them. I also synced by Note 4 to his account and only had 500 contacts. My phone did not bring in any groups.
Any ideas?

Check out my thread about a similar issue. Maybe this answers it... A solution would be great though haha

I am pretty sure you have an option to sync contacts when setting up the account. Is the device rooted? If so:
flash an image that has xposed installed and get that set up.
Download greenify
click the top right corner and go to experimental features
scroll down and enable reveal hidden sync
go to settings app
go to account section and then e-mail account
click the first button that tells you when the last sync was performed (not account settings)
The first option should be " * Contacts" which could be disabled
Its a long workaround but if you already have xposed and greenify like I did then it just a couple of clicks. You could also first try to remove the account and then set it up again, but I forget if that was really an option during setup or not
