I am having the same exact problem. I also read the article about the new outlook.com and it sayd it supposed to actually work better on smartphones and tablets. This is really starting to driver me crazy and they are doing nothing to resolve this. So far today not 1 email pushed through I had to maually get it.Microsoft or Apple needs to do something. So many people are having this problem.

I hadn't heard about the rollout of outlook.com. It makes sense now why problems would arise out of the blue. Microsoft is no doubt making changes on the server end because of this rollout.


I went ahead and signed in at outlook.com so that my account is switched to the new web interface. I'll see if that helps anything. Afterwards, I went ahead and deleted the Hotmail account on my iPhone which I had configured earlier today to use Exchange. Then, I set it up again using the default Hotmail choice in iOS 5.

I came to this forum searching for a solution to this same issue... my Hotmail stopped pushing all of a sudden. On another forum someone suggested turning off my iPhone, turning it back on and then closing the mail application. For some reason, that worked and mail started pushing again. (Not sure if order makes a difference - close application and turn off or turn off and close application) Certainly an easy fix if it was not just a coincidence that it started working again.
