There are no emails displaying in my folders in Hotmail. The inbox, sent, junk and bin are all showing emails but the other folders appear empty. This happened after I deleted and reinstalled the account on the iPad. I had to do this because of a problem I had with receiving emails on my mobile.
Has anyone an idea how to fix this problem? I have already deleted and reinstalled again and also switched the iPad off and on again.
In common with many other Mail providers, Microsoft/Hotmail now use App Specific Passwords to access IMAP or POP3 mailboxes.
The Mail App on each of your devices, such as your iPad, requires a unique password to be generated from within your Microsoft account. This App Specific password intentionally differs from your Microsoft/Hotmail account password - and can only be used to access your Mail.
