Get Live Mail/Hotmail on your iPhone

Setting up Hotmail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is easy and free.

• Get your email the instant it comes in—notifications let you know when you have a new message.
• Calendar and contacts are synced to your phone.
• All of your Hotmail folders and subfolders are browsable.
• Send photos via email from your phone to your friends.

Setting up Hotmail is easy when using an iPhone with iOS 5. (If you don’t have iOS 5 yet, you can get it by connecting your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to your PC—just follow the instructions in iTunes.)

iOS 5

1. Tap Settings, then tap Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
2. Tap Add Account in the Accounts page.
3. Tap Hotmail.
   Tap Hotmail to add your Hotmail account to your iPhone.
4. Enter your full Hotmail email address and password. In the Description field, enter a name so you can identify this account when you check your email (for example, “Hotmail”).
   Enter your Hotmail address and password to your iPhone.
5. Select the fields that you want to sync (they should say ON if you want them to sync). Tap Save.
   Choose what you'd like to sync to your iPhone.

If you don’t have iOS 5, it’s easy to get it on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Connect your device to your PC and follow the instructions in iTunes. If you don’t want to or can’t install iOS 5, it's still easy to get Hotmail on your iPhone.
