Trying to set up my eamil on my phone

Got a little leaflet with it telling me what to do, quite simple to follow.

It says I need outgoing & incoming server addresses and mailbox type

Its a hotmail email addy. Can't see anywhere on my account where this info could be

Anyone got any ideas?

Mail Server Settings
Hotmail Settings
As other web based email services, Hotmail is using the HTTP protocol for connecting you to your mailbox. If you want to send and receive Hotmail emails using an email client software, then your software must support Hotmail HTTP access for your email account. Some email clients, such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook, offer builtin support for Hotmail accounts, so you only have to select HTTP when you are asked to select your email account type and select Hotmail as the HTTP Mail Service Provider.

Is it the email you normally get on phones that you need a number to access it?
If it is you can't get it in th euk afaik.
Wifi or using it over gprs or seomthing is a diff matter though.

Hmmm

I put the Pop3hot one in & it started working fine

But then I got an email about how much it charges you once your free trial is over - fook that!

Any free ones anyone knows of?

Unless they've changed it, Hotmail's "mailbox type" will be IMAP and not POP3...

yea, without paying money youre not going to get hotmail emails - easiest way is to forward your emails to another pop3 account, and just access that
