Microsoft are launching their new outlook.com service today.
I got carried away and stupidly converted my hotmail.com account to outlook.com account.
Now I can't sync my phone with the new outlook.com service. (I can login with but it doesn't sync)
Worse, I stupidly deleted my hotmail.com account on phone trying to sync with the new outlook account.
Now all my hotmail based contacts on htc one x is gone, and I am not even sure if I will get it back even if I can sync to this new outlook account. Have no idea how it HTC sense store the phone contact data on hotmail.
One other thing, I am in China at the moment.(i can access to outlook.com without VPN)
Anyone got any solution or insight?

Try setting up an ActiveSync account for it in the stock e-mail app. Here's a link to the instructions. It's for WM and iPhone but the settings are the same.

I was able to configure the new Outlook.com with the settings that I posted here...
gizmocanada.com/2012/08/outlook-com-and-the-htc-one-x-samsung-galaxy-siii-or-asus-transformer-pad-infinity/
I used snt-m.hotmail.com for server address
The documentation also mentions m.outlook.com for the server. Didn't test it yet.

I switched to the Outlook.com site, but I've left my address as @hotmail.com so no issues for me (other than the website not working in Chrome).
Hi
I switched as well before I knew what I was doing
I could get Exchange Active Sync working again by removing it and adding back using my new outlook.com email address.
The instructions are to use m.outlook.com, this connects but fails to validate credentials, perhaps it takes a while to move over. Using m.hotmail.com authenticates okay but sync'ing doesn't work, the same problem a lot of us have had for a couple of months. Using snt-m.hotmail.com and it is syncing again.
Interestingly using the emulator running 4.0.4, then m.hotmail.com works fine from there, so pointing to the issue that the HTC One X Exchange app isn't working with the redirect correctly, hence needing to short circuit in my case to snt-m.hotmail.com. Using m.outlook.com doesn't work from the emulator either, fails with invalid username/password.
Regards
Phil
Hi, I tried the snt-m.hotmail.com but I still can't get mine to sync too! Always gives me an error in syncing (the red sync icon). When I tried to connect my hotmail on my bro's android 2.3 HTC Rhyme.. Everything works!
Do you guys have other ways to solve this problem?
I've installed hotmail app, it syncs all..
But I'm not able to create new contact on ur phone in hotmail.
Even I'm.waiting for outlook sync in the mean while

Requiring exchange domain name
Its asking me for an exchange server. I don't have a domain so what am I supposed to put in there? Or are you guys using something other than active sync?
I'm using the default mail app on my HTC one x (global) ICS 4.0.3
Thanks.

Has anyone successfully sync with their hotmail account?
I tried to change the server address to m.hotmail.com and successfully lead me to another page to sync with emails and accounts but when I click sync, it will show an error saying failed to create the account. please try again later
I think that all hotmail accounts have not yet been enabled for exchange active sync (unfortunately)...
Mine has always worked fine......

I get 'failed to create the account. Please try again later' on my device.
Perhaps it's not enabled on my account. Any way of telling if it has?
Hi guys, I do have exchange active sync working on my Hotmail account. Sync of email, contacts and calendar work flawless. Hang in there apparently this week more news will be made available regarding EAS.
I have the same problem.
it seems to connect to the server, but is then unable to create the account.
I think i have the wave 4 hotmail. but supposedly that is not all you need.
Same problem for me. Hopefully my account becomes enabled soon
It's not your account that's the problem, it's HTC's mail app.
Try downloading 'Improved Email' from the market, it's free and works like a charm.

Nice tip - thanks!
Yesterday I finally bought a Desire, after few days of Android test on my Kaiser device.
On Kaiser I succeeded to create an Exchange account for my company email and to sync emails, calendar and contacts.
On Desire I receive an error regarding the server settings. I installed Roadsync and Touchdown and for them everything is OK.
Could be a problem related to the company certificates?
How I can solve it?
Thanks!
I installed the stock Android 2.2 email app and now everything is OK in the email side.
But the calendar and contacts are still not sync.
What exactly are your settings, where and how did you configure these, which Exchange version do you use and what is the resulting problem / error message?
kata2008: in the server settings try to put the FQDN of your server or in otherwords the complete name and domain name of the server
example:
ex10.mydomain.com
Hello,
For server name I'm using the ip address.
HTC Email application create the errors. I installed the stock 2.2 email app and now is OK. I can sync the emails.
But now I have another problem: I can't sync contacts and calendar. I installed the stock 2.2 calendar application, but is no link to the stock email application.
As I see, I need to use the stock apps, not the HTC provided by Desire.
Do you now how I can install correctly stock 2.2 email, calendar and contacts apps?
good to hear that worked for you. i dont know if you could install the stock email for it is included with Sense.. As i know you need to use the RUU..
@kata2008
Please read this thread. Perhaps this is you problem too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749886
Finally, a step ahead.
I installed the 2.2 stock email app, I restarted the Desire and now I can sync emails and calendars.
I can sync contacts only from Exchange to Desire, but vice verse is not working.
If I want to add a contact in People, I can't choose the corporate account, only Gmail, SIM, Phone.
Do you now how I can fix this last step?
Hi there,
I have set up hotmail account on my htc one v, but seems I have some problems from day 1.
1. there are errors about failed sync
2. even trying to receive mail manually via standard mail soft I got info about "No new mails" - but I know that there are new mails.
It's my day 1 on htc one v.
I'm using official rom and soft.
I have provided correct account details and password.
any ideas?
m.hotmail.com server is down for almost 3 weeks already. A friend of mine with S3 has same problem.
The workaround is download Hotmail App from Google Play. It works as it has a validation process with a unique no.
well to be honest it sux totally especially a lot of apps are connected with that server -.-
no one is going to fix that? who should I contact about it?
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/hotmail
well seems that I need to wait for that

I also had problems with the hotmail sync, but today i made an system update and after that i visited hotmail.com with the stock browser.
Then i got the new e-mail notifications.
I hope this fixes your problems too.
Hi,
Curious to know if anyone has succesfully got two hotmail accounts working on a stock HOX using the Hotmail account in the new mail account options?
I am not referring to the Exchange or 'Other' options that are available.
Also, does anybody know what the differences are between the available Hotmail option and setting up a manual POP3 account for hotmail (under the 'Other' option)? i.e. does the 'native' hotmail option connect via IMAP or POP3? It doesn't show specific connection details, just that the server is m.hotmail.com.
Thanks.

Ok, that'd make sense. Can you have two exchange activesync connections for two different hotmail accounts though?

i don't have any hotmail account then can't say...
But i think so...
You can try 2 as hotmail account or one as hotmail account and another one on exchange account...
I've got two hotmail accounts working fine on my stock HOX, set up using the hotmail account option.
They're both set to smart sync by default, whatever that is?
Sent from my HTC One X
Off-topic: Smart-sync is supposed to sync the mail more often, the more you use the app. So if you don't use the mail-app to much, the time between syncs will be longer. Smart? Yes, does it work? Not idea =S
Cookpass - can you these confirm these are .com hotmail addresses you have currently working?
I am trying to sync a .com and a .co.uk hotmail address using the hotmail option under mail accounts. The .com syncs absolutely fine but the .co.uk does not want to play ball, throwing up an error in the sync setting section of "sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly". I subsequently deleted all mail accounts and cleared the mail app data/cache & re-added the .co.uk address (in case there was a Windows Live conflict or whatever with the .com address) but having the same result with the sync error.
Sent from my HTC One X
I don't think hotmail.co.uk addresses can connect to m.hotmail.com (default windows live server) therefore the only option is POP3.
Would be helpful if someone could confirm this though either way.

With two hotmail accounts in HOX, when viewing a contact, does anyone know how to distinguish from which hotmail accounts it belongs to? When opening up a contact, it will have Microsoft on the link contact symbol, but I cannot find a way to distinguish between the two hotmail accounts I have on my phone. The only work arround I discovered by removing one hotmail account from phonebook view, which leaves me to show only the contacts for the second hotmail account. This is too much fussing around.
Can't live a day without email, and since yesterday I can't create any email account with the Samsung stock email app through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. It keeps saying "Setup couldn't finish: Unable to connect to server". I have tried YMail, GMail, none works! I guess I am not the only one and it's a MS server problem?

Kindly check and confirm.

Ok, what specific email service are you trying to setup (GMail, YMail, etc.).
What is the name of the server that you are trying to connect to? For example, the ActiveSync server for GMail is m.google.com.
Lets start with that and see where we go from there.

GMail. That's how it worked since the day I got the phone, but now it isn't working. It's obviously a different Note 2 (the old one was having a problem, so service center provided me a new one), but that shouldn't be any reason.
I just type my username, then password, select Manual setup, tap on MS Exchange ActiveSync, then I tap on next and that error pops up! The server address is m.google.com like you said. But I've tried with different address like m.gmail.com, no luck!
Now I had a Nandroid backup from my old Note 2, which I was restoring some minutes back with Nandroid Manager, and when I restored the email and Exchange service the old email data is back, as Exchange ActiveSync.
This is the most weird thing I've seen since a long time!

Tried that mate. No better.
Now could any one of you test it for me? I'm strongly recommending to NOT delete the account you're already having with ActiveSync, just try with another account and see, please? I've GMail and YMail accounts, so can't say about any other account.
Thanks in advance.

Yep read at least 6-7 articles about it. What a stupidity by Google! http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/14/...-sync-exchange-support-for-gmail-calendar-and
Anyway, that was it for me, created a Hotmail account and a Live account as well (love the name, Live, lol) and Exchange ActiveSync created the account easy.
Now I guess there is no way I can have all my messages transferred to the Hotmail account from the Gmail account right, and have the new emails in Hotmail instead of Gmail? I have to manually edit the email id everywhere from Gmail to Hotmail or is there any trick?
Yes, This is good way and I am also doing same since long. I have yahoo account and forwarding Gmail to yahoo always.
I don't think you need to change ID everywhere, just use both ID atleast for now, may be there will be some solution for Gmail comes.
