[Q] Anyone get Hotmail (push email) to work?

---

I am trying to setup Push Email for my Hotmail account using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. I go through all the steps and it sets it up, but after it goes to the mail list, it keeps doing a continuous loop of syncing and refreshing. Anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong?

You don't use exchange for hotmail use the option other and that will work.

Will Push Email work with this?

You can't setup Hotmail as an Exchange account, there's no way I'm aware of anyway. I've never had Hotmail setup on a device where Push was available as an option, however you can set it to refresh as often as every 5 minutes

saw this somewhere and it worked for me

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

This makes sense

Hotmail now has IMAP which is better for cell phones than POP. It will push and sync.

Use the m.hotmail.com serever. Here it is for the iPhone:

Okay so I got Push Hotmail to finally work on the Inspire.
What I found out was that default mail app on the Inspire does not support Push Hotmail for some reason.
What I ended up doing was downloading the default Google email.apk file and installed it on my Inspire and followed the instructions to setup Push Hotmail that can my found on Google.
