Syncing to Hotmail Account

[Guest En_croute]

Can the MDA Compact / Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition sync with a Hotmail http Account ?

I'm suprised the Auto config does not work.

Adding the http:// details (copied form Outlook Express) does not seem to work.

Any ideas - do you have to / can you use a 3rd party messaging App ?

...I think you need to use pop3 settings, which is a benefit of being a MoDaCo plus member...not sure if there's another way...

Not sure what you mean - Hotmail does not support POP3, it's an HTTP only mail service.

Obviously It can be accessed by Explorer, but this has to be connected to write a mail, and mails cannot be downloaded for later review.

T-Mobile say it cannot be done in messaging - so presumably this will require 3rd party software.

Unless anyone else knows better.......

personnaly i found it to be a nightmare to send/recive hotmail on any mobile device & there is only 3rd party sw availible to do the job. i find it inredible that mirosoft dont support this , i went to 1and1 & setup my own pop3 server..much more reliable & hasnt let me down ( yet!!!)

The sheer inaccessability of hotmail turned me off using it. I check it maybe every 2-3weeks, just to clear out junk. GMail is sooooo much better.

and gmail now works in pocket ie! which is even better!

I haven't tried GMail on PIE since they release the new basic version. I use the builtin Messaging, so found no need.

You can use HTTPMail Provider for this (http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=9539)
