Hotmail

[gourry413]

Ok all, sorry if this is a repost, but I did a search for Hotmail and nothing came up. I cannot get my hotmail account to link to my phone in the messaging section. Am I doing something wrong? Is hotmail not compatible? I just got off the phone with Verizon tech support and they said it was my email account that was not correct. I asked how that was possible because I had it working on my 3rd omnia. She said that hotmail could have made some changes and that is causing it. Is anyone else having this problem or am I just missing something??

use these settings -

in the beginning, for the email address, leave off the .com. just username@hotmail
your name - what ever you want people to see when you email them
account display name - identifying name of the account on your device
incoming mail server - pop3.live.com
account type - pop3
user name - your full email address, example username@hotmail.com
password - your password
check the box to save password
outgoing server - smtp.live.com
check the box for outgoing requires authentication
check the box for use the same username and password for sending
under advanced server setting, check both boxes for require ssl on incoming and outgoing and your connection should be the internet
next thru until finished

Worked like a charm! THX!! And I was told before that hotmail couldn't be linked to the Omnia. Boy I bet he'd feel real stoopid right about now if I was to show him he was wrong.
