How to use Hotmail?... and other confusing questions...

[anonimo]

It's my first day with this new toy and I can't believe how difficult I find to cope with this TouchFLO thing. Maybe it's because I have been using Windows Mobile since the days of HandheldPCs on WindowsCE but I find that this interface is just too inflexible for me. The fact that you can see only the next appointment is an absolute deal breaker for me: I just can't go through my work day without having a clear view of all my appointments!
Anyway my question is actually on a different subject: my previous device had WM5 and setting up a Hotmail account was extremely easy, now when I try to set up a Hotmail account in Outlook Mobile, Opera opens and I reach a page to download Windows Live from the Microsoft site. I don't understand.... Windows Live is preinstalled and the Messenger is already running.... Should I download something else or is Opera interfering with the set-up process?
By the way... how can I set IE Mobile as my default browser?
HELP!

You have to configure it via the Windows Live application.

Thanks it's working now... I had to "sync" via Windows Live and the Hotmail account appeared in the list of email accounts...

It's not hard.

Start -> Programs -> Windows Live

You enter your hotmail username and password etc, set a bunch of options to your liking and then your hotmail account will be sync'd on your device.

If you don't like the TouchFlo 3D today plugin, you can uncheck it and replace it with whatever you want. Go to Settings->Today->Items and untick TouchFLO 3D.

Yes I know.. thanks.... To be honest I have spent the weekend playing with the phone and I am getting used to the TouchFLO 3D now, even if I still have a few problems with it....
- screen not always sensitive to finger touch, particularly in Opera I find it that very often my double-tap is ignored, and also difficult to use finger on corners of the screen....
- the TouchFLO user guide mentions that you can shrink the clock to make more room for appointments... well I know how to make the clock smaller but it still shows only the next appointment...
