How To: Add your Hotmail a/c in Maill app

**mbaharvard** · 08-23-2008, 04:45 PM

Hotmail doesn't support POP? Gmail does and setting it up on the iPhone is as easy as enabling POP in your Gmail account and adding it to the iPhone! None of this other stuff!
I do not use hotmail, but are you sure there are NO settings on your hotmail account to enable POP?

It won't let me type the password? I can type but nothing appears on the screen.

Nope. Free hotmail does not support POP.

"The connection to the server "localhost" failed." Also...

when i make the first step i get
+*PROTOCOL MAJOR VERSION DIFFER: 1 VS. 2*+
what should I do?

although I don't use hotmail, I do know how to make a script/command line run at every boot!
it's called "LaunchDaemons"s. all it takes is a simple script and a file in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons or /Library/LaunchDaemons... look at Saurik's cydia file as an example!

and for augusto:

ssh has 2 versions, iPhone uses version 2. you need to use version 2.

probably an option in your ssh program (putty?) or the command used to start it off.

ssh -2 .....

Weird thing.. none of the screenshots match my phone..
oh n thanks for the "L" insteaed of "1" things..

**fluffer** · 08-23-2008, 05:30 PM

it's such hard work this. izymail is very inexpensive over a year and has worked fine. good work, but i'd rather pay a few quid for stability and ease

**Pauloch** · 08-23-2008, 06:18 PM

i type "ssh localhost -l root" and get
"-sh: ssh: command not found"
any help??

Mine keeps telling me that my username or password is incorrect for smtp.live.com. I have checked it like 50 times and I KNOW it's right. Anybody have this issue AND a fix? Thanks in advance

**AppleDude1** · 08-23-2008, 06:48 PM

This is great

**chris52204** · 08-23-2008, 07:04 PM

OK i got it to work. If you guys use ssh localhost -L root it will not work you will keep getting error messages. I used ssh localhost -2 root and everything works. I got error messages that do not show up on the screen shots but I did it anyways.

Hehehe too bad this wasnt possible when I got my phone, Now i just have hotmail forwarding into my gmail account.

**howzitjoe** · 08-23-2008, 07:25 PM

Doesn't work for me. Looks like you need the paid-for hotmail account not the free.

cheers,

Joe

I guess this is good for those that use hotmail but I didn't know anybody used hotmail.
