Outlook, Hotmail, and Activesync Help - Touch HD General

I'm using Outlook 7 and have installed outlook connector so that I could read/send emails from my hotmail account in Outlook. I wanted to use it as the my email in my HD but I'm having problem getting it to sync with Activesync 4.5.
After I add the hotmail account, the activesync does not work. I keep on getting cannot connect and try again later message. It sync ok when I delete the hotmail account.
Is there anyway that I could set up hotmail account in outlook and sync it to my HD?
Thanks for the help.

Outlook function with my Hotmail

Is there a way to use outlook for recieving mails from hotmail?
pop3 access
you will need pop3 enabled in your email account and the configure it with pda.
pop3 access is paid with hotmail. Gmail offers free pop access.
are we talking for your phone or your PC?
If it's for your PC then ajipta is right and you have to pay for hotmail plus.
If this is for your phone just sign into windows live. It works just the same as outlook and is free!!!
There is a way of configuring hotmail to be read from within Outlook on the HD.
Something about configuring Live when you set it up to sync with Outlook. Works a treat for me. Haven't tried sending but I only download my hotmail, I use other accounts to send.
Regards
Use "Microsoft Office Outlook Connector" (google it)
Install this and you'll have all your hotmail emails in Outlook.
Then use Windows Live on your HD to setup your Hotmail account as a push email service.
Your emails on your phone and pc are kept in sync !!
Works Great + It's FREE !!
There's a second solution for the PC that doesn't need Outlook at all. Get Windows Live Mail (free) and ....voila....you have a spiced up version of Outlook Express with almost full Outlook functionality and it works with Hotmail and all other POP3 or IMAP providers. I use it to manage 6 accounts and I'm very happy with it
On the phone. Just sing in to Windows Live and you will get Hotmail in messaging. Check "As Items Arrive" in the sync options and you have push mail You don't need to have Windows Live on the phone running all the time. Once configured Hotmail works on it's own.
Hiya,
I dont see any option on logging onto windows live , to check on arrival..
Where is it please.

Checking Outlook Email

Hi,
If I setup an Outlook Email account on my HD2, it only sync's email via ActiveSync. Is there a way to check my "Outlook" email via IMAP on my HD2 and combine it with the "Outlook Account" on the HD2? In other words instead of having 2 accounts, one Outlook sync'd via ActiveSync and another to check my email via IMAP, only have the one?
Thanks
Silly Man
short answer is no.
however if you set up the second account to check mail on the move, those mails will not be removed from the server until outlook does a mail check when they will in effect jump from your roaming inbox to your outlook inbox.not exactly perfect, but no great hardship.

and it does not seem to work..
Please please do help me out here.
Thanks in advance.
If you want your Hotmail mails in your WinMo to be synced with Outlook -
1. Make sure that Email check box is checked i.e. when you are syncing - Email is shown in the list of items to be synced.
2. In outlook, you will find two folders, Personal Folder and Hotmail. The Hotmail folder is NOT synced with Activesync. Simple drag all mails in the inbox from Hotmail Folder to Inbox of Personal folder. That should work.
Unless you have a GPRS connection the link you have described will not work.
Hope it helps

Load up the messenger application on your device, it should ask you to log in and if you want to sync your email...
But in all honestly, you're better off setting up a gmail account and using activesync on your device - it will give live mail, and sync contacts and calendar all the time automatically.
I've made a Gmail account. And i've synced my Hotmail with Gmail. It will take a few hours or days. Then i synced my Microsoft outlook 2007 on my laptop with Gmail. Connected the USB and successs!! I synced my Gmail with my phone.
But i dont understand why i cant send out or receive any email? I'm using my WiFi. Is it possible to Send/Receive while using WiFi instead of GPRS Internet cause thats very expensive ^^
But anyways, thanks it works. If only i could send/receive mails now.. Hopefully not by GPRS.

Depends how you've set up gmail...
you need to set up gmail as an exchange server, with the address m.google.com, and sync mail, contacts and calendar only. Then you get true push email, you don't need to conenct activesync to your pc at all, should all work over wifi.
What do you mean? How do i check that settings?

Go into activesync, then congigure server. Try and delete the server source you have, then create a new one.
Username iis your full gmail address, server is m.google.com, leave all security settings ticked.
hi, i had the same problem, i resolved it this way:
when you want to configure your hotmail account like any other email in your mobile,
i think the problem is that the Touch 2 (or WM6.5) has some mail-server account settings pre-configured, and the hotmail one is wrong. i managed to use hotmail both as IMAP and POP3 by just entering a wrong e-mail address (like [email protected]), then entering the right serer settings for pop3 or imap (found in hotmail's help by searching pop3 or imap), and finally, after finishing the configuration, just edited the e-mail settings and altered the email address with the right one (@hotmail.com).
now it's working perfectly, just like gmail or any other mail service.
hope this helps.

How does calender sync work?

Here is my setup. I have Exchange 2007 server with an e-mail account on my phone. (By the looks of it I can only sync one way Outlook to device) It will not sync from device to outlook.
I also have an gmail account with a calendar. Still, one way..gmail to device.
Under my calendars...I have My calendar, @gmail.com, facebook, and my @exchange2007 calendar. Do I have to put it under a special one for it to sync?
How do I get it to push device to outlook / gmail?
Thanks for your help!
