My hotmail account won't work on my ipad mini

what error are you getting when you try to setup your hotmail.

you can try and add your email account through the other option and just copy the mail server settings from your iphone. usually that error is hotmail telling the iPad the information you provided doesnt match or is incorrect.

Hi Friend,

Which kind of account are you using?

If you are using a business account (for example stevejobs@apple.com) you must set POP account info properly, filling all the blank fields (name, email address, description, password, Host Name, user's name, SMTP). Just one field blanked causes error in sending/receiving.

If you are using a default account (iCloud, Yahoo!, Hotmail...), fill all the blank fields (Name, Email account, Password, Description) and sign in.

If not works, delete the account and sign in again

Hope it will be helpful

make sure two step verification is turned off in your hotmail account
