Finally, after many months of waiting, Microsoft finally enabled the POP3 e-mail worldwide. What that means is free e-mail access from your iPhone or iPod Touch! Hurray!

Here are the steps you need to set-up a hotmail account.

Step 1

From your iPhone or iPod Touch, go to “Settings”.

Step 2

Then go to “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”.

Step 3

In there, go to “Add Account”.

Step 4

Then go to the last option, which is “Other”.

Step 5

Fill in the fields with your name, your hotmail address, your hotmail password and add a description if you want, then press “save”. It should take a while to confirm and setup your account.

Step 6

You’re done! Go and check your e-mail from the main screen! It should load all your unread e-mails! If not, then you must have done something wrong.

If something is wrong, check your internet connection. If it ok and the problem persist, check the Incoming Mail Server is correct as well as the Outgoing Mail Server:

Incoming Mail Server, Host Name: pop3.live.com

Outgoing Mail Server, SMTP: smtp.live.com, Server Port: 25, Use SSL: yes.

Please note that some carriers may charge you for downloading e-mail attachments or browsing the web. Contact your phone carrier and make sure you know about these costs!
