Help Hotmail email setup - any way to get IMAP behavior?

[mi_canuck]

I realise Hotmail is POP only, but is there a way to have it behave more like an IMAP account? On the BB, there was an option to have both device and server inboxes sync'ed up, for read/unread and deleted emails... wondering if there's some setting to do this on the Android?

mi_canuck,

Easiest thing to do would be to forward the Hotmail account to a Gmail account and access the Gmail account via the Gmail app...

Sadly not, Hotmail is stuck in the dark ages and doesn't support IMAP4. People are requesting it but MS appear to be resisting.

Shame as I would really like it!

I have gotten this to work...my Nexus S has a Hotmail account (the same one) set up as BOTH POP and IMAP...I get messages on both, but the IMAP one doesn't show any images...just text-based emails. Any ideas on why? The POP works flawlessly, but doesn't give me the server integration.

Hotmail isn't IMAP, it's Mail for Exchange, completely different. Anyway, nothing you can do about it unfortunately, the mail client doesn't support it.
