HOTMAIL ON SONY S1? how do I set up my hotmail account?

hiyaaaa:smileywink:

I want to set up my hotmail account, but I tried with no success :slight_frown:

I have done everything that it asks me to do: the email account and password; then the account type (which i believe is POP3), then the Incoming server settings that I have no clue how to configure it..

I am lost! I am lossstttt!!!!:smileyconfused:

I want my hotmail !!! My tablet just need that to be complete!:smileylove:

:cry: SOS!!!! thanks alot!

Hi loux84,

The following should allow you to set up your hotmail account on the Sony tablet..

Go to Settings & click on add an Account.

Type your full Hotmail email address & then enter your password

Then click Manual setup.

On the next screen click on Exchange.

Next to Domain/Name delete what's currently shown and enter your full hotmail email address.

Skip the password line as this should be correct.

Next to Server change to m.hotmail.com

Then below Server option make sure that Use secure connection (SSL) IS selected & that Accept all SSL certificates is NOT selected.

Click Next.

You can change any of the following settings if you wish or simply click next if you want to accept the default ones.

Give your account a shorter name if you wish, then click next.
