How to add "Hotmail" account

You have to have a premium account (ie one you pay for) to get POP access from Hotmail. The free accounts use an HTTP protocol that the iPHone doesnt support.

Gregsdoll,

You can now use hotmail to forward your mail to a supported account that runs natively on the iPhone. I use it to forward to my .mac account with out problems.

You need to go to your hotmail account, log in, click "options," then set-up forwarding on your account and verify the account you intend to forward to once your receive an email from Hotmail on that account.

Pretty easy.

You can configure Hotmail to work on the iPhone. It works very well, I have had no problems with it. After upgrading to a Hotmail plus account, follow the instructions-
