How do you sync Hotmail and iPhone?

Answer 1

If this is the first e-mail account you'll be setting up on your phone:

Locate the mail icon on your phone's main screen.

On the "Add Account" page, select "Microsoft Exchange"

Although it will not say "hotmail" you can now properly sync your mail, contacts and calendars with your iPhone and use proper folders.

1. After tapping "Microsoft Exchange" enter the credentials below

email - (Your Email address)

Domain - Leave this blank

Username - (Enter your Email address)

Password - (Enter your Email address password)

Description - (Optional)

2. Click The Blue "Next" button in the top right

3. The server box will pop up enter "m.hotmail.com"

4. After it has "verified" your account select if you want Calendar and Contact sync on

5. Tap "save" and you are done!

You will have noticed that your hotmail also brings your IMAP folders which didn't work in the old way of syncing hotmail. To see your hotmail contacts on your iphone or all your contacts tap "Groups" in the top left corner of your contacts.
