- kbz1960Doesn't MatterI had some trouble with an @hotmail account but not sure if was the captcha thing they use from time to time. I got an email about signing in to type what is in the picture but when I would sign in there was no captcha. So I went to an @live account which setup fine the first time, I did have trouble getting the @hotmail setup.
On the live account I figured out to the captcha I had to first send a mail for the web access and then I got the captcha to answer. Think I had to do that twice so far.03-15-12 07:06 AMLike 0 - I haven't tried to set up a hotmail account, what are the pro's and con's. I already have four (4) email accounts and only really active on three of them.....do I need another one? Not really.Willard814 likes this.03-15-12 07:58 AMLike 1
- kbz1960Doesn't MatterNot sure there are pro's or not but I had so much trouble with Gmail I tried hotmail which gave some of the fits Gmail was but so far after the fits were taken care of I haven't had an issue since. With Gmail I would be good for a day or two then fits again. Hotmail is activesync like Gmail also.03-15-12 08:06 AMLike 0
- I have no trouble with my hotmail account with web browser or outlook, just with the PB. I finally got it configured yesterday evening, the sync was working fine but this mourning it cant connect anymore. I saw other threads where people were saying that they could not connect to their hotmail pop server when they switch wifi or for other reason. I bought my PB on launch day, hope its not a first gen issue.03-15-12 11:34 AMLike 0
- kbz1960Doesn't MatterFirst off pop accounts don't sync. A client pulls the mail off of the server and yes the pb doesn't respect leave on the server. Hotmail should be setup as an activesync account. Just enter you email addy and password and let the pb do the rest.
As I said I had some trouble with an @hotmail account but my @live account has been flawless.03-15-12 11:39 AMLike 0 -
- Just set up my free MSN email account (which is at least 10 years old) without a hitch. All I had to do was punch in my email address and password and the PB did the rest.03-15-12 01:46 PMLike 0

I haven't tested it with the "Leave mail on server" setting set to No; perhaps what you meant was the opposite of what you wrote? Namely that when set to No, it does not delete mail from the server even though it should? Again, I haven't tested it, so I don't know if that's the case.03-15-12 08:55 PMLike 0 - kbz1960Doesn't MatterNot sure what you mean by "the pb doesn't respect leave on the server," but I can assure you that it most certainly does leave mail on the server. My POP account set up in the Native email app behaves just like a POP client is supposed to: It pulls mail off the server (as you wrote) without removing it (the opposite of what you wrote), and doesn't sync deletions either up or down (as you wrote), even though I wish it would. I suppose mine could be behaving differently than everyone else's, but since the way mine behaves is the way it should, I doubt that.

- Cletis, try changin the server address. It worked for me. Log in to your hotmail account using your computer and look at the URL bar while inside your inbox
http://co121w.col121.mail.live.com
In the PB email account settings change m.hotmail.com to (in my case) col-m.hotmail.com.
Hope this works for you too.Last edited by FrankIAm; 08-04-12 at 08:49 PM.

I�m trying the following setup:
Settings > Accounts > Email, Calendar and Contacts:
Username: [email protected]
Email address: [email protected]
Server address: m.hotmail.com
> Advanced > Hotmail
Use SSL: On
Push: On
This is the correct configuration?
Thanks for your help.08-04-12 05:11 PMLike 0 - kbz1960Doesn't MatterTry this. Also if you log in on your computer you can see which one to use in the address bar.

What you need are those 3 letters in bold. Memorize them, write them down, whatever.
In the PB email account settings change m.hotmail.com to (in my case) col-m.hotmail.com.
Hope this works for you too.
