Interface with Hotmail

bvfd2775 · 06-13-2007, 08:58 PM

I know MS is the major competitor, but in all the documentation I've read there's no mention that I can sync my mail with Hotmail, which I've been using for a loooong time.

Does anyone know yet if that will be offered eventually?

iPhone also works with almost any industry-standard POP3 and IMAP email system

I reckon Hotmail is POP3

Nope, Hotmail doesn't allow you to access it as a POP3 server. It only allows you to access up to four other POP3 servers from their web page.

Take a look at IzyMail (http://v3.izymail.com/), a POP3 gateway into Hotmail and other webmail systems.

For those of you who signed up with Izymail to access your Hotmail accounts, are you still able to send messages?

I had it configured and working on my original iPhone over the w/e (which is now pushing up daisies). I got my replacement iPhone last night and haven't been able to send mail using the same settings. I can receive mail, albeit slowly given how much traffic these guys are seeing from new iPhone subscribers.

Anyone else having problems contacting their SMTP server?

I am having the same issue. It worked yesterday for 3 emails, but errored out for a while before sending. Today, I can't send at all. I just opened up a ticket with Izymail. We shall see what the deal is. BTW - I am using IMAP on the iPhone.

Mine did finally start working again today. After a few resets it worked - still not sure what the problem was.

Good luck!

Nice one. Resets? Meaning turning the phone on and off?

I did this:

I also deleted the mail connection and started from scratch at some point, so that may have helped as well.
