iPad Hotmail issues.

Hogzy

How ye doing,
My mothers iPad has been having issues signing into her hotmail account. Its has been working perfectly for the last few weeks but now all of a sudden it is saying that it will not accept the username and/or password. I have tried setting up the account again and no luck. I know the username and password are correct because they are working on my laptop perfectly.

I tried setting up an account on microsoft exchange and using the "Other" option and still no luck.

They recently messed with their settings - I was having this problem earlier this week on my iPhone 4. Set it up following these instructions:

And it should work fine again.

I had the same problems on my iphone - I just deleted my hotmail account and recreated it but this time through the Microsoft Exchange option

How to install Hotmail via MicroSoft Exchange on the iPhone:

Step 1: On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > and create a new Micorsoft Exchange account.

Step 2: Enter the following information:

Email: youremail@hotmail.com
Server address: m.hotmail.com
SSL: enabled
Username: youremail@hotmail.com
Password: password
Domain: <blank>

Step 3: Go to your mail.app and you should see your new Hotmail Exchange account.

I am having a problem with hotmail on my ipad all of a sudden and I have tried all suggestions above but it still won't work. :mad:

It works now - I thought the server name was a typo. Thanks thebazman!
