Noticed yesterday that Hotmail is only allowing POP connects every 15min, so when new mail arrives and you delete something, google tries to send the delete request to hotmail and it times out since it hasn't been 15min. Sad, but migrating to the Hotmail exchange settings may be the final solution. I just havent' got it to work properly yet. If anyone has had any success setting Hotmail up as Exchange let us know. Thanks

EDIT: Found directions...trying now..

Microsoft has mentioned that Exchange ActiveSync will be a separate roll out from the roll out of Windows Live Hotmail Wave 4. Officially, Exchange ActiveSync support on Hotmail not yet been released officially before end of 2010. However, it seems that the Exchange ActiveSync support has been enabled for some, but more and more Hotmail accounts, regardless of whether the accounts have been converted to Wave 4 or not.
For mobile phone users, such as iPhone iOS-based, Android-based, Windows Mobile-based, Blackberry-based smartphone and other cell phones which support Exchange account setup, the settings for syncing Hotmail account through Exchange Active Sync is as follow:
Email: username@live.com or username@hotmail.com or username@msn.com
Server Address: m.hotmail.com
SSL: Enabled
Username: username@live.com or username@hotmail.com or username@msn.com
Password: password
Domain: <blank>
Note that each mobile portable devices have different settings, preferences or configuration names, but the basic information required is about the same. For example, in iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and create a new Micorsoft Exchange account. In Android based device, go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync, and add a new corporate account.
After setting up the Exchange Hotmail account, change the “Mail Days to Sync” or “Amount to synchronize” from 1 day to other value in order to receive more emails including old one in Inbox.
If you have encountered incorrect password, unable to connect to Exchange server, unable to open connection to server, or Exchange account verification failed error message, your Hotmail account probably hasn’t have Exchange Active Sync support turned on yet.

doesn't work for me

EDIT:
it works
server: smtp.live.com
port: 587
security: TLS

I found it was easier to just make a googlemail.com account and forward my pop based mail to that.

At least then I've also got proper push email, you could probably hide your google address to show your hotmail one too, I've not looked too deep in to that one, I'm sure it can be done, you can do it in things like Outlook etc.
