can anyone help me with the setup of my p800 to recieve hotmail. Firstly is this possible? If so what is the connection type, incoming server address, outgoing server address,outgoing mail port, and any other relevant details. Cheers!

You should really try the search! This has been discussed many times before

I used the search, not overly helpfull but as far as I can tell you cant connect to hotmail unless you go through the web browser

It can be done but use the search option. It upsets the natives otherwise

Dean, I've been searching and searching but couldn't find any valid settings on this. Based on your last reply I did a search for "hotmail" with your username as the poster and the only result it returned was this thread!
Do you recall any thing else I can search for in the thread you mention?

Try pop3 email settings - lets post them here. Thats a subject i have bookmarked
Posted by wrath000
I remember the settings I saw posted before were for private gateways (to hotmail), not hotmail (confirmed by a DNS check)

yeah thats about all I can find in the POP3 e-mail settings : let's post them here!!! thread
Posted by Deanlambert
I don't know all i remember is asking a question regarding getting email on this phone and thats the thread i was pointed to. I have seen hotmail settings on here before tho

@Deanlambert
It's impossible
The free hotmail is an advertizement driven buisness. They don't have POP3 functionality (for obvious reasons).
One can either use a web browser to access the mail...
..or use a gateway of some kind (3rd party)

I still beg to differ

hmmmmmmmmm.....

I have just searched in Hotmail again and even the one account that I actually pay for makes no mention of any pop3 or imap servers for retrieving the hotmail, so I dunno.
I have a program on my pocketpc that can implement an inbox in much the same way that outlook express does and it even incorporates the messages into the standard inbox so I use that most of the time.

@ Deanlambert
how do you do it?
Is this also applicable for the Yahoo Mail account?
