As you might have heard, hotmail is now outlook.com email. I've been trying to configure outlook.com email on my HTC One S to no avail (tried the old hotmail route ~ nada!).
Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

Wondering the same, tried changing my Hotmail account config in the email client on my Samsung S3 but it won;t let me change the account details so ended up deleting it. I can get it to work fine in POP3 mode but I'm not a big fan of pop3 (and apparently outlook.com does not support IMAP).

They are using the Microsoft Live mail servers. These worked for me

Incoming:
User name: xxxx@outlook.com (FULL EMAIL ADDR, not just account name)
Server - pop3.live.com
Security - SSL
Port - 995

Outgoing:
Server - smtp.live.com
Security - TLS
Port - 587
Require sign in checked
User name - xxxx@outlook.com

I tried 3 different ports for the outgoing server with SSL, then I read somewhere about using 587 with TLS and it worked. It doesn't really matter since SSL is the predecessor of TLS. They are both secure.

Has anyone got this to work as a Microsoft Exchange account instead of POP3?

I am using Kaiten Mail on Android. It comes back asking for the Security-SSL port number. I have tried 993, 995, and 443. None of these work.

It works fine with the stock email app that comes on my Galaxy Note. I need it to work with Kaiten Mail.

Thanks! Got me past the Incoming screen, but had to use "SMARTTLS" for outgoing security.

I can get POP3 to work without issue but I need to set it up as Exchange Server. Does anyone have the correct setting?

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have a LG Optimus Chat which is android powered. I found a video that helped me set up my new outlook.com email address on my device.

Go on youtube, and search How to setup Outlook.com on your android device.

I hope that helps

For outgoing, instead of SSl/TLS try STARTTLS (accept all certificates)

Tried these Incoming settings but had a warning message: incoming server does not support SSL.

Flippin' Hotmail. I should probably just join the cool kids and get Gmail anyway.

I'm having this problem on my Galaxy S2 now, so frustrating!

I've configured incoming server settings using Doit2it's method above however it won't configure outgoing server settings. I have tried both SSL and TLS security (those are the only options I have).

With SSL I get a message "Setup could not finish - unable to connect to server"
and with TLS I get "Setup could not finish - Incorrect user name or password"

I had changed my password this morning when I logged in on the work's computer, then when I checked my phone a bit later on I got the "failed to sign in" error message when it was performing it's hourly sync.
So I entered my new password in the incoming server settings and it was fine, it retrieved my e-mails from the Hotmail server however it wouldn't let me reply or send a message.
So I entered the new password in the outgoing server settings and that's when it all went wrong, I got the "Setup could not finish - User name or password incorrect" message (even though I'd just successfully entered it into the incoming server settings!)
To try and resolve it I deleted the whole e-mail acount and then tried to re-add it, which proved to be the ultimate two fingured gesture from Microsoft.

Any ideas?

Hello guys,

i got HTC desire 616 dual sim and each time i go with the settings it gives me "username or password is incorrect", although i am sure they're correct as i tried to sign in on the laptop with the username and password i am using and it worked fine.


i used these settings

User name: xxxx@outlook.com (FULL EMAIL ADDR, not just account name)
Server - pop3.live.com
Security - SSL
Port - 995

Outgoing:
Server - smtp.live.com
Security - TLS
Port - 587
Require sign in checked
User name - xxxx@outlook.com

any another settings.

the security type is SSL/TLS Accept all certificates,

Surely the outlook.com app pre populates the connectivity settings?

The old Outlook.com app used to be useful for syncing a microsoft account. The current version is just a dummy download whose only purpose is to force you to install the new Outlook app by overwriting the useful app and replacing it with a message to install the new one.

The new Outlook app is designed to let you view Microsoft email and calendars from within that app, but does not provide the ability to sync calendars in a way that other calendar apps can be used with them (or at any rate that was the case a few months ago - for obvious reasons I have not tested it since).

For an Outlook email app I'd just put the settings into my preferred email client. With both Aquamail and MailDroid I remember it requiring very little setup, cannot say about any stock email app.
