I tried configuring my Hotmail email account on my phone using the default email client I had no success. I tried configuring it using POP3 settings. Yahoo! Mail and Gmail works great on my phone but not with Hotmail. Is there anyone here able to have it working? Please post the settings. Thanks in advance.

AFAIK u need to subscribe to a premium Hotmail account to use the POP3 with ur phone. Otherwise its web access only.

Really? But that's the same thing I heard before with Yahoo! Mail but I was able to make it working. Anyway, if there's no way to make it work, there's nothing I can do. Thanks anyway.

@dennevhyn_31, i think you have a SE mobile phone...so look at sonyericsson website, and tru to send the email setting to your phone...if your service provider support hotmail you will find those setting in the liste............

@med: i already did that. The hotmail settings that i got from the se website doesn't work. I configured it manually as well but still no go.

Ah ok.....

i cannot really make hotmail to work on my phone. i already tried using different incoming and outgoing servers for hotmail but still it is saying "server not found." hehehe! currently, i'm using the following servers:
incoming: pop3.email.msn.com
outgoing: smtp.email.msn.com

You won't have look, it is an encrypted server unless you are premium user i'm afraid

@lukechris: oh ok. i understand. by the way, can you send me the firmware that you used on your k800i?
Posted by lukechris
Its k800@k810 go to 4shared.com and search for it

@M.Noordin: Oh ok. Thanks for the information. Anyway, I will just use Gmail and Yahoo! Mail on my K800i. Hehehe!

U can set ur hotmail to forward ur e-mails to your yahoo account or any other & thus u can have them on ur cell

@cadcad: Mail forwarding? I already did that before but I wanna reply to the messages with the MSN Hotmail email address.

@dennevhyn anytime i try to send or retrieve mails with my imap it write WRONG MAILBOX OR PASSWORD . i followed all the steps as u stated but still cant connect. pls any solution to that. And is there anyway we can use the mobjab settings to configure it
Posted by dennevhyn_31
@fdigital: what email account did you configure? yahoo mail imap? if you are receiving that error message, it is possible that you have the wrong email address or username and password entered on the email account settings. can you double-check? regarding your question about mobjab, i think it is not possible.
Posted by fdigital
i did every thing as u said but still saying the same thing i use yahoo. and how yours work. have u it tested it on k750i cos most of the features u listed are not in mine like outgoing username and password
Posted by dennevhyn_31
I have not tested it yet using K750i. Anyway, can you check if there is an option for Advanced Settings? The outgoing settings can be found in the Advanced Options.
Posted by fdigital
mine dosnt ve that features but can u try setting it on any k750i phone and see how it works, or is their any different config for it.
Posted by lukechris
Simple solution, never sign up for anything using your hotmail!

Nice response lukechris! Hahaha!
