Hi,

I'm struggling to add my hotmail account to my tablet .

I've followed the above instructions, but it's still not working , what port number should I  be using?

Thanksss

Hi ruuuth,

welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:

You shouldn't need to touch port numbers when doing the hotmail set-up..:smileyconfused:

Are you sure you are selecting exchange during the set up.?

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.

Hello Thalamus,

I have also a problem for set up my telfort.account in Holland. I have tried to set up as you told on the hotmail account, but that is not working. Can you help me also?

I removed the email address as the forum does not allow personal information to be shared in order to protect its users.

Thank you for your help Thalamus.

It was all going well until 2 days ago, when the email stopped updating itself on my tablet.

I removed the account to add it again (in hope it'd work), unfortunately following your instructions this time is not working.

Is there another way I can connect to my hotmail ?

Thanks again,

Ruth

Hi ruuuth,

the guide shold still work..

Just make sure you select Excahnage when setting up hotmail..

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.

Thanks again Thalamus.

I've followed your above instructions and have tried on and off to get this to work since i asked again and it still won't connect. It returns an error message reading 'You've typed an incorrect server address or the server requires a protocol version that Email doesn't support'

It's strange because the account was working fine, then it just stopped and i've not been able to use it since.

I even tried restoring the factory settings to the tablet but that didn't help either.

Do you know of any other way i can get this email to work?

I'm currently using the hotmail app, but that's not ideal...

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi Ruuuth,

It's seems there may be a problem with the Hotmail servers & as a temporary fix it seems that MS are suggesting people try using the hotmail (Microsoft + Seven) App which although may not be ideal seems the best option at the moment, at least until MS address the possible server issues..
