For those with a hotmail account; using the iPhone

[Remain Nameless]

Hey,
Can someone help me out with this process?

I'd appreciate it... I'm not the biggest technology guru, but I'd like to have my hotmail account set up with my iPhone.

Thanks!

Yea, but what's the "host name"?

I assume the user name and password is my email address and sign in password, respectively... but just didn't know about the host name/address...

Thanks for the help

As far as I know hotmail doesnt support pop3 account unless you have a premium account (you have to pay for it.) I dont think theres any other way to do it besides using safari. Hope that helps answer any questions :)

that's correct, you cannot 'POP' your free hotmail account. there is a 3rd party service (can't remember the name, but it costs $10/year) that allows you 'POP' hotmail.

Yep. Free and you'll have instant push email.
