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.

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 )

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...
I am having problems setting up exchange activesync on my phone.
I get to "Finish Setup" and it gives me the error "Failed to create the account. Please try later"
The settings that i am using is
Server address: m.google.com
Domain: google
Is there something that i am doing wrong?
I thought you leave the domain blank andjust out your email address with the @gmail.com bit for the username

I have CM6 installed on my DInc, I set up my Google Account, but I can't get my Yahoo account set up. It keeps saying "Invalid username or password" - but it is correct.
Any ideas?
yahoo for some reason syncs only over 3g, not wifi. there is a workaround by changing the smtp server settings etc. search the forum and you will find it.
Dang, I've been searching for a while, before I post this, I can't find anything.
EDIT:
Do I just do this?

Hey guys,
Anyone knows how to sync hotmail with the DHD email app? cuz when i delete mails from the DHD app, it doesn't touch the mail on Hotmail.
Thanks alot.
When you set up account use the following settings:
Type: Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
Username: [email protected]
Password: yourpassword
Server: m.hotmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
That will sync fully with Hotmail including contacts/calandar (optional).
sorry but i think i did something wrong cause it din work. after setting up, i tried to delete a message from the mail app. however it did not delete from hotmail. after i delete via the mail app, i get a new email notification about the email i just deleted. sorry for the trouble but can i get more specific instructions? and how to delete the old account?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I've just given this a try and I can get my hotmail account up, however a couple of things don't seem to be working correctly or differently from the pop settings I previously used for Hotmail:
1) Every time I open my email the screen is blank, it then populates the emails, it does this every time I go back in, it appears like it's re-downloading them, but I'm not 100% sure, when using the pop settings you enter email and the previously sync'd emails are still there.
2) the account keeps re-syncing even though I have the 15 minute option set up rather than the push email (I'll try this option later). Every time it re-syncs it blanks the inbox and re-populates it.
3) once re-populated I can read and delete emails, however after a few seconds (maybe a minute) it re-syncs and all emails are unread, and any deleted emails re-appear.
the settings i'm using are:
Microsoft exchange activesync,
email address: [email protected]
Server address: m.hotmail.com
Username: [email protected] <-- this defaulted to just X, I had to enter the @hotmail.com for it to work
Password, and left a tick in the "this server requires an encrypted SSL connection" box.
There was a box for Domain, but I left this blank.
I'll give push email a try and write again once I have.
I've just tried the push option, and it works a treat!
None of that re-syncing, and my inbox isn't blank / require re-downloading every time I go into my mail.
Deleting emails on my phone now deletes them from my hotmail inbox as well!
Thanks for finding the settings!
Hope this works as well for other people.

Push is the same as putting it on manual in the update schedule right? Trying to do the same on my live account as the i just noticed that new e-mails that i have read via my laptop are being sent to my phone as unread.
Username: [email protected]
Password: yourpassword
Server: pop3.live.com
Use SSL: Yes

Got same problem you had! Wich 'push option' did you tricker? Where can i find it?
I gave up trying to get Hotmail to play nice ages ago.
I just use Gmail to pickup my pop Hotmail.
Keeps it simple and it works.. ^_^
I cannot seem to get my corporate email setup on my new G4. We switched to office 365 awhile ago and there were some issues getting migrated over, but we identified the (silly) issue and it seemed to be no big deal. On my S4 that I just came from, as well as my N7 2013, I would put in my
username: \myusername
server: outlook.office365.com
domain: didn't have to type it in after the switch but for the same of argument its "MyDomain"
connect: SSL
port: 443
client cert: none
G4 exchange account asks for all this, I put it in, it says login failed. tried a bunch of different ways including inputting the domain name, have @Company.com after the username, domain\username, etc etc and so far no dice. I use the phone 50% for work so need to get it resolved asap, I'm assuming it is something really simple that I am missing.

What app are you using? I also use my G4 for work email and I use gmail. Works fine, but we don't use 365 just our exchange servers.
Had the same issue coming from Note 3 to G4. Try removing the backslash from your user name. Leave Domain blank

just trying to add an exchange account sync to get my calendar/contacts/email/etc, so under Setting -> Accounts -> Add Account -> Exchange is the process i used (and have always used). I get taken to the same menu if I go into the app drawer and open the "Email" app and select Microsoft Exchange when the option pops up upon opening.

Stock email is trash. Use gmail.
Install this : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ge-services-6-5-1520254-android-apk-download/
Make sure you have unknown sources checked. Try again after installing, make sure to restart gmail if you have it open.

We also use outlook.office365.com. On my Note 3 I had to list a user name and domain.
Example (on Note 3):
Username: \John.doe
Domain: companyxyz.com
connect: SSL
port: 443
client cert: none
When I moved over to G4 I had to set it up like this:
Example (on G4):
Username: [email protected]
Domain: (leave blank)
connect: SSL
port: 443
client cert: none

Thank you, this managed to get it to connect. I'll have to check and see that it is syncing properly. The problem before when we switched over was the "" before the username - without it I could not sync global address book contacts.
Also noticed that it has randomly decided to nickname some of my gmail contacts and lists their nickname instead of full name under contacts...frustrating...
'Cannot check the validity of server error' message
I'm having the same trouble getting my Office365 exchange email set up on my new G4; it was so simple on my Galaxy S4 and prior to that my Motorola Droid X.
I've tried all the permutations of setting suggested here but I get stopped with security warnings starting with:
"Cannot check the validity of server" and it tells me if I go on there could be security issues. Even if I select OK, it says it can't connect to server.
Any ideas? I'm not conversant with the security certificate stuff.
Thanks,
Gerry E.

I got tired of all the Exchange implementations that always failed.
I switched to Nine a long time ago...avoids all these headaches and works perfectly.
First of all try this:
server: www.office365.com, not outlook.office365.com
I recommend you install the latest Exchange Services by Google..
The stock one is messed up. Disable it when you're done setting up your email using Google's Exchange Services.
Worked for me.
