What did you actually do at mobile.msn.com? I tried it and all I got out of it was a nice add for msn mobile. I am an MSN Premium member and they told me they dont support iphones. Can you please detail what you did to acess your msn email?

I too had this issue with the Hotmail. I found 2 solutions, one I liked, one I love. I went with the one I love.

#1- go to mobile.live.com and use that Hotmail version. It's lighter, no frills version of Hotmail, but it works. Yes, you do have to log in and all that other stuff. I liked it.

#2- I downloaded GetMail from Download.com It was free! YAY! I installed it on my computer and now every 5 minutes it checks my Hotmail mail and forwards it to my new GMail e-mail address. GMail works on iPhone and you don't have to log-in so that solved my problem in an easy, free manner. It's the most time efficient too, because I didn't want to keep logging in.

You can choose to keep copies of the e-mail or just delete them, etc. Up to you in how you set that up.

I had problems downloading GETMAIL. After it downloaded, it disappeared and I couldnt find it again. What am I doing wrong? Also do you have to keep your computer on for it to work?

I downloaded Getmail and saved it on my desktop. I clicked on the .exe file and nothing happened, so I got confused. Then I noticed a little icon in my tray next to the time on my PC. So I right-clicked on it and then I saw that I can click on "mail settings" to set-up how/where I wanted my Hotmail e-mails to go.

Yes, you have to keep your computer on. For me it's not an issue since my fiance comes home throughout the day to take care of things on the computer, so it's usually on anyway.

If this would be an issue, I would suggest the izymail option. They offer a free trial sort of thing with limited features. It's like 20 bucks a year or something, but no need to have the computer on- it forwards the messages from Hotmail to GMail automatically.

Hotmail needs a solution called Izymail to drop into your mobile mailbox. Go to www.izymail.com and sign up (it's about £10 per year). It will give you all the settings you need to put into your iphone. I have been using Izymail for about 3 years and no problems until recently, where it is slow to hook up sometimes - so when you're roaming, it can be frustrating if you know you've got alot of emails coming in.....
