I need to sort mine to on my desire.

A friend of mine has just got a Desire and I'll be damned if I can get hotmail.co.uk to work on the phone.  I've followed loads of guides with no luck.  Any help would be appreciated.

All I can suggest is to check server settings and username / password.

Although I use Gmail on my Desire I do have a Hotmail account (co.uk) so I just went to add it and it took all of 20 seconds.

Homepage > Press Up arrow (Takes you to "All apps") > Press Mail > Press menu button on Desire > Press "More" > Press " New account" > Select "Other (POP3/IMAP)" > Enter Hotmail address and password

I did that, it took about 10 seconds to verify and now I can see all of my Hotmail emails.

I'm 100% sure that the settings are correct.  Get a message that the user account cannot be varified.  Will try again later.

still no joy.  says to check username and password.  they are correct as I had my friend login on a computer, I checked key by key.

any other advice?

When you add an email address on the Desire to defaults to .com so if he has a .co.uk Hotmail address check it's not changed it to .com

had a few more attempts last night with no success. its not changing to .com either.  I think my friend is going to use his isps address instead.  oh well, can't win them all.

thanks for the advice guys.

Is POP3 access free with Hotmail?  At one time, I thought they started charging for it, but I haven't used Hotmail for years.
