Thank you for the followup.


Getting the Mail App Back:

Apps can disappear unexpectedly, in which case you can redownload them. So, download the Mail app. Get it here: Mail on the App Store - Apple

Use an App Password for Hotmail:

I remember chatting with Microsoft not too long ago, and going through this to set up other accounts to be accessed on Mail, Outlook, and on other Apps.


While in Hotmail, Go To:

  1. User Name(Top-Right)
  2. View account (Second Option Down)
  3. Security (third tap in from top-left)
  4. More security options (Far-Right)
  5. App passwords (Third Pane Down)
  6. Create a new app password
  7. Click Done
  8. Use the app password provided for a synchronized app
