Guest chucky.egg Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 AFAIK the answer is NO The mail client is a POP3 (& IMAP?) client, but Hotmail is not a POP3/IMAP service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest statscat Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Tis sadly true you can't add hotmail to your "inbox" email accoutns. You can add it into the contacts as a web address (so you can get to it from contacts as well as PIE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest statscat Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 To the best of my knowledge if you want your hotmail you have to log in to hotmail on a phone or PV or pocket pc, its a web based rather pop3,IMAP mail app. I guess thats the way MS want hotmail to work, Its more of a deficiency in hotmail rather than the phone, but I agree hotmail and microsoft should look at incorporating access directly into the device rather than via the traditional IE approach.

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 You can either use IzyMail, a paid for service that exposes an imap interface to hotmail, or run an app like hotmail popper on your own server to give you pop access.

How can it be be a problem with hotmail when i can do it from my desktop PC with outlook, I understand that outlook client is cut down version but this was a big complaint with the orignal software that should have been sorted.

Guest stickman Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 When you access Hotmail from your desktop PC, you are talking to it over HTTP, not POP or IMAP. Go back through the config to set up Outlook to talk to Hotmail. You will see that you have all three of those options (HTTP, IMAP, POP) whereas, in the Smartphone Inbox, you only have IMAP and POP as options. I know that sucks, but that is the way it is. Someone needs to write an add-in for the Smartphone Inbox that will allow you to talk via HTTP. Someone wrote one for the PocketPC a while back and it worked very well. For now, we are stuck using mobile.msn.com to get hotmail, but that is going away soon isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest glynton Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Before the summer I heard that 2003 would support a pocket version of MSN explrer. There was a topic with some presentation slides showing it in action. Looks good... I'll be signing up for it if that's the case! (I use MSN 8 at home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
