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 )

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...
Hi
Still finding my way around my Desire and loving it!
I have a question, I have the following email accounts
hotmail.com
hotmail.co.uk
live.co.uk
I have managed to set up the .com but Im having no luck with the other 2
'Cannot connect to the mail server to verify my account information, server not responding'
The .com worked first time with the port numbers that came up as default.
Can anyone offer any advice?
i am having the same problem with my hotmail.co.uk account have tried the following settings
Incoming.
Protocol - POP
POP server - pop3.live.com
Security type - SSL
Server Port - 995
Outgoing.
SMTP server - smtp.live.com
Security type - TLS
Server port - 25
i only seem to be able to send emails but never can recieve?
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
server port - 587
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.
Can the Gmail app be use as a widget?
I can't set up htc mail widget, what I'm doing wrong?
Gmail account: POP3/IMAP>
e-mail address>password>next
protocol IMAP>
e-mail address e-mail address>
username - is this the email address or user name or either?
password>
POP server googlemail.com>
security type, none>
server port, 110> next>
Cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information. your server is not responding.
thanks
well, with mine it didnt ask for the server info. just my email address (gmail) then it autocompleted after that (and the password obviously)

Hi,
I am trying to add my yahoo account at "mail" on evo.
After entering username and password it says : "Authentication failed. Please verity your usermane/password"
I am entering correct data, tried 100 times but no luck.
I can add my gmail and hotmail accounts but not yahoo.
I found an unsolved threat with same problem:

There's an app for that.
Doesn't help much with the mail apk, but it reads yahoo mail.
Just download the official yahoo mail app or k9 mail tool <- lets you view multiple accounts.

I had the same problem about a month ago and did this when setting up my yahoo account:
YAHOO IMAP
Incoming IMAP Mail ServerSetting :
User Name : [email protected]
Password : your email password
Incoming Mail Server : imap.n.mail.yahoo.com
Mail Box Name : Yahoo IMAP
Mail Box Type : IMAP
Security (Port) : Off
Port : Default
That should get you back up and running. This way you dont have to download an app, this will just work with stock mail. This will work cause I just did this this morning cause my yahoo wasnt working. Hope this helps.
I've had the same problem and I used the info from the post above but I had to change the incoming server settings for some reason.. I had to use android.imap.mail.yahoo.com... and I've also gotten it to work when I was on a different ROM by using imap.mobile.mail.yahoo.com.. So just try a few variations if the specific settings above dont work...

Incoming mail settings worked, had to google for outgoing server settings.
Outgoing server settings
[X] Login required
Username: [email protected]
Password: ******
SMTP server: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: <none>
Server port: <default>
I did'nt want to download app from the market, stock app is perfect for me, still wondering why automatic setup did'nt work for yahoo.
Oh yeah, didn't work for me either, had to use yahoo mail app. I think it drains my battery though.
Swyped from my sexy EVO.
