installing Hotmail on an iPad

Are you looking to set up a new Hotmail account, or use an existing Hotmail account in the iPad's "Mail" App?

Did you solve your hotmail new account issue on your ipad?

I just got mine and I cant setup my hotmail account, I can recibe email but i can send them, can you help me?

You can set up Hotmail as a POP email account, but for full access to your folders, contacts, and calendars you're better off using Exchange/ActiveSync:

POP Email (OK, but missing features - works with older versions of iOS):

• Open the Settings app
• Choose Mail, Contacts, Calendars
• Choose Add Account
• Choose Other
• Choose Add Mail Account
• Type your name in the Name field (example: John Doe)
• Type your full Hotmail account in the Address field (example: jdoe@hotmail.com)
• Type your Hotmail password in the Password field
• Type a helpful description (example: "Hotmail account" or "jdoe@hotmail.com")
• Press the Save button
• Your iOS device will attempt to verify the settings - providing your WIFI network allows it, you should be set up and ready to go.
• Note that some WIFI networks won't allow you to send mail using SMTP
• Plus you don't see anything except your Hotmail inbox - your sent items remain on your iOS device, and aren't synced with Hotmail, and you can't see any folders you've created

Exchange ActiveSync method (waaaaaay better than POP!):

• Open the Settings app
• Choose Mail, Contacts, Calendars
• Choose Add Account
• Choose Microsoft Exchange
• Type your full Hotmail account in the Email field (example: jdoe@hotmail.com)
• Leave the Domain field blank
• Type your full Hotmail account in the Username field (example: jdoe@hotmail.com)
• Type your Hotmail password in the Password field
• Type a helpful description (example: "Hotmail account" or "jdoe@hotmail.com")
• Press the Next button
• Once the credentials you entered are verified, type "m.hotmail.com" (without the quotes, of course) in the Server field
• If everything verifies successfully, you'll get a new screen with three slider switches: Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
• Turn off Contacts and Calendars if you don't want to sync these with your iOS device
• You're done - you now have full push email (and optionally Contacts and Calendars) for Hotmail.
