Try these settings they worked on mine
incoming:
Protocol - pop
put email address in and user name put email address in again
put in password
pop server - pop3.live.com
security type - SSL port 995
outgoing:
tick log in required
put email address in as username
put in password
smtp server - smtp.live.com
security type - TLS
server port - 587
Hey presto!!

I set my hotmail up the day I got my desire and it works perfectly. Shouldn't need to put any extra settings, just add email account and password which is recognised automatically. Just had to add one tick box to have items deleted from server now working fine.

Thank you so much
I was getting muddles up with the ports and security stuff
Now it is just loading the thousands of emails I have lol
Is the email any good on the desire?

I'm sure if you wait a few minutes you can tell us.

it is ok, i cant seem to make a folder to sort out my email and i cant to get any emails before monday ...??

On my hero I can go into settings and in the 'send & receive' settings I can change the download options and select how many days it should download. (you can select by number of days or by number e-mails, quite nice actually )

Thank you
it works ... im liking the email more now
ad i love this forum ... the help is great

Yeah, this forum is great!
You can change the interval at the settings as well.
Btw, something else you can try is to let Gmail download the hotmail e-mails. But you cannot set the interval unfortunately. (You can set this up on your computer by going into the gmail settings, Accounts and Import settings, and then click on the 'import mail and contacts'. And then you have to finish a few steps to set it up.)
Too bad it's not instant like gmail though.
I now forward my main e-mail account to my gmail. This way I don't need the interval pop3 checking and I get my e-mail directly via the gmail push. Great stuff!
Unfortunately this is not possible with hotmail, you can only forward to other hotmail/live adresses. Unless you use the paid version of hotmail, then it's possible I believe (not sure).
But! For everything else it's great!
Create a folder/label, setup a filter and everything is nicely categorized as well
The gmail app is a bit more basic however.. different from the htc e-mail application for sure. Oh, and the standard gmail icon doesn't show the number of unread e-mails, so for that you need to get a widget called 'Gmail Unread Count'.

So i've just picked up the desire, have setup hotmail but it's only pop, is there no imap support? I don't fancy having to manually mark something as read each time...

Email Problems

Hi All.
Sorry to start a new thread but I need help setting up my email accounts.
I have two; a @blueyonder address and a @live.co.uk address.
I seem to have gotten my @live.co.uk account receiving but still unable to send. My blueyonder one will do neither.
I'm using an Orange upgrade Desire and using the HTC mail app.
Please Help

hellooo
try to change SMTP server your mobile operator
If you have Orange UK operator smtp.orange.net
For example: smtp.t-zones.sk that is smtp server form Slovak T-Mobile operator

Thank You!
Thats worked but I have a new problem now
With my live.co.uk email, after receiving on the phone, I can still receive the email on my outlook.
But with my blueyonder account, once I've received an email on my phone, it no longer downloads to outlook (and vice versa).
Anything I can do?

you need to use IMAP, or set it to leave a copy on the server, otherwise once an email is downloded via POP it tends to not be available to other devices

What is Imap and how does it work?
I am leaving a copy on the server. Both HTC Desire settings and outlook settings state "Leave copy on server" and I've even checked the webmail/server- and the email is still there- unread.
As I say, seems to be working fine with my @live.co.uk address.

Also just noticed I can't send via a wifi network on either account. Not a huge deal, but strange.

Try imap4.blueyonder.co.uk for your incoming mail server address and outgoing: smtp.blueyonder.co.uk
Try checking TLS if available by selecting the security type as TLS.

Hotmail settings are here
incoming settings
protocol =pop
pop server = pop3.live.com
security type =ssl
server port =995
outgoing settings
login required =ticked
username =hotmail addy ie [email protected]m
smtp server=smtp.live.com
security type=tls
server port=587
Account name =Hotmail
Your Name =what ever you want it to display

Thanks everybody. Got everything sorted.
Still can't send from my blueyonder account via wifi but I assume thats something to do with using the orange smtp stuff.

hello there people, i was hoping someone could give me a bit of assistance.
as the title of my post says... i'm having issues with sending emails from my desire via my hotmail account, there are no issues with me getting them as this works fine and the inbox is always full. i just can't seem to send or reply, i'm sure the settings are correct but i've added them below and would really be grateful for some help
incoming:
Protocol - pop
put email address in and user name put email address in again
put in password
pop server - pop3.live.com
security type - SSL port 995
outgoing:
tick log in required
put email address in as username
put in password
smtp server - smtp.live.com
security type - TLS

thanks in advance for any help Dr Asqueroso

Try port 25 on the outgoing server. Other than that, my settings are identical and work okay.

GrenW thanks, that has worked.

E-mail - unable to open connection to server

For past few days I have encountered a problem sending e-mails through my Arc. I can receive fine.
I have a few e-mail accounts set up on my phone. My g-mail accounts work fine, but have noticed that my hotmail accounts can receive but not send out e-mais. I am shown the message unable to open connection to server.
My outgoing settings are below, I also decided to install MailDroid, and have the same issue.
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
port: 587
Security Type - TLS
Anybody got a solution?
