Outlook or Windows Live problems

[DannyBoy]

Not sure if this is an AP5 issue or wether its a windows live or outlook problem but but I can`t seem to add an email account

I hit new account. fill in my email address and password (its a hotmail.co.uk account) then hit the next button. It says "Auto setup founds setting for: hotmail.co.uk To complete setup and download email click next. It launches Opera and tells me all about the benifits of using email on my phone. there is a "try it out" button which opens a text box to add a mobile number but this must be a USA format number as its XXX XXX XXXX.

Tried various formats and never recieved any setting via text message.

Go back to Windows live and there is no new account added

Any ideas people?

This will always happen to the email account that you register to the microsoft live website. It won't happen to the normal email account. You will see that account within windows live only, I think.

Have you tried the manual set up instead of hitting the autosetup button?

I'm not getting an option to setup manually though.

I goto add new account and i have two boxes. Email & password.

it then say hit next to auto setup :(

err....you don't set up hotmail accounts through the mail application.

Go into the Windows Live application and sign in using that, and Bingo.....Your hotmail account appears in the mail application.

Of course if you have a network branded device without Windows Live installed.....I guess you'd need to find that and install that first.....:D
