Hi all,
I am updating to include IMAP info for hotmail, the new hotmail app that Microsoft released is still not up to my standards at all, but it is a lot better, but I am now switching over to Aquamail, as I find the built in email apps are sluggish and updates on them only happen when you get some type of firmware update, that is sad. Aquamail is the only one so far to keep loading older messages, if you try it you will see, and there are many many options for just about anyone, and it works now with IMAP hotmail!!
go to bottom for hotmail IMAP info

In settings then global settings "max upload size" I pay for my hotmail $20 a year so I choose 10MB.
There are settings for just about everything, font size, color of each email account, ect... I dont think there is a setting left out.
