Please help. I recently got an iphone, set up hotmail on it and was receiving all ok. For the past week no more mail able to be sent or received, I just seem to permanatly have the checking for mail timer going. Then eventually a message box appears saying Server error, contact your server administrator.
I have tried removing hotmail and re-installing it but no joy.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
I have the same problem since yesterday afternoon, with my IPhone4S and IPad2, I tried everything possible.
I think since yesterday afternoon something happens with IOS5.1, because with my older IPhone 3G that has an older version of IOS it is possible to sync all folders from hotmail.
Apple and/or Microsoft need to find the reason of the problem.

Hi
See my post I have same problems with Hotmail was working fine now I get same message as you . Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
It is very frustanting not have an answer from Apple about the issue.
I contact other people and they have the same problem: SERVER ERROR Contact Server Admin.
Most of people have been try to find a solution to fix the issue, but they can't.
Suggest hotmail live help.com
Many people have same issue, hotmail have some suggestions I haven't tried as yet. Perhaps this might help. Please let me know if you make progress. Still no emails this morning to my hotmail.com account .
Good luck!
Sorry I meant www.windowslivehelp.com
Among other things they suggest finding out your server name, hotmail server status.
Thanks
Doesn't help (windowslivehelp.com).
Something is wrong in the communication between servers.
Would you go to HP board and ask HP fix or find the problem if your HP computer was unable to retrieve hotmail, and was giving distinct message contact your mail server admin.
I too have the same issue as all of you. My gmail is working fine on my iPhone. This is a real ball ache though. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
Glad to hear its not just me. Any ideas how to perhaps log this with Apple?
Have any of your tried setting up your hotmail through Microsoft Exchange instead of hotmail? Go to settings>mail, contact,calendars and select add account, instead of selecting hotmail select microsoft exchange. Fill in all the fields but leave domain blank, for unsername enter your email, where it says password enter your hotmail password.etc, change the description from exchange to hotmail. After you have done all that and proceeded forward a similar screen will appear this time it will ask for a server, enter m.hotmail.com. See if that works
I tried two times to set with Microsoft Exchange.
Didn't work.
Called Apple who just asked me to set up the hotmail account again and try downloading email via wifi /3G didn't make a difference . They sent me a list of notes which I will try and copy and paste here. The other odd thing is that this troublesome hotmail account is working perfectly on my old 3G iPhone ! I also tried Microsoft Exchange but didn't work. Back to the drawing board. Apple say it is hotmail issue.
Many thanks for your suggestion just tried it and no difference, going to give it another go.
Hi all,
it seems like sending emails from the hotmail account works, this i have tried out. The problem is getting emails through hotmail on iPhone 4s is a mess. I had problems saying "Server" problems from last week monday on. And i am based in Munich, Germany.
Thanks
MaK
iphone 4 will not connect to hotmail
