I've got the same problem. I asked Windows Live Mobile customer support and was told to use the following settings:
. Go to Mail icon. If this is the first time you've setup any mail service on the Android, you will be prompt to enter in a username and password. Enter in your Hotmail email address and password
. Click on the Manual Setup at the bottom left corner
. In the incoming server setting, entering as followed
User Name :
user@hotmail.com Password : your email password
Incoming Mail Server : pop3.live.com
Security (Port) : SSL
Port : 995
. Press next to continue with SMTP Server. Once on that screen, enter in these settings
Email Address :
user@hotmail.com User Name :
user@hotmail.com Password : your email password
Outgoing Mail Server : smtp.live.com
Security (Port) : SSL
Port : 25 or 587 (Recommended 25)
. Now click through next and fill out the name, etc. You are done. You now have Pop3 setup on your Android for your Hotmail Account!
I tried this. But it still doesn't work. after putting in the smtp password I get the following error msg "Cannot connect to mail server to verify your account information. Your server is not responding."
I have reset phone by pulling battery. I get same result. any other ideas?
thanks
