Whats the best way to set up Hotmail on iphone/ipod tpouch?
If I wanted to check my hotmail is the best way to just go to hotmail.com and sign in from there or does an account need to be set up?
There are tonnes of videos on youtube about setting up a hotmail account using the mail app. Prety much all of them say to use something called izzymail and the videoposter just gets slagged off.
Any of you managed to do this? If so whats the best way?
Thanks

I would wait for iPhone 2.0 software. There will be countless new programs to choose from at that point. IMHO
So at present there isnt really a decent solution?
Thanks for the reply.

I don't have a Live or Hotmail account so don't quote me but I was under the impression that they don't support POP or IMAP. So, going to the website would be the only way to check your mail.
I am on the same situation as you.
Hopefully iPhone 2.0 will have a solution or someone will create an app to retrieve emails from hotmail. There are lots of people on this same conundrum.
I have all mail from BT Yahoo and Hotmail forwarded to my .Mac account so that all of my mail only comes to one account for my iPhone.
I did at one point have everything forwarding to my BT Yahoo account which was then pushing email to my iPhone. Once Apple announced Mobile Me I switched the forwarding back to my .Mac account.
On hotmail all of my mail is forwarded and no copies are left on the hotmail servers so I never need to logon to hotmail.com again
Here's a link to setup a paid Hotmail Plus account: http://get.live.com/mailplus/features
Here are the settings you'll need:
* POP (incoming) server: pop3.live.com
* POP port: 995
* POP SSL required: yes
* POP user name: your complete Windows Live Hotmail address (including "@hotmail.com", "@live.com", etc.)
* POP password: your Windows Live Hotmail password
* SMTP (outgoing) server: smtp.live.com
* SMTP port: 25
* SMTP SSL required: yes
* SMTP authentication: yes
* SMTP user name: your full Windows Live Hotmail email address
* SMTP password: your Windows Live Hotmail password

If you buy Microsoft Office for Mac you can use Entourage, too
If you have a paid Hotmail account, you automatically have POP3 access (althought its not advertised)
That says a lot about MS. While nearly every other email service is offering IMAP and in some cases push email. You have to pay for POP from Hotmail.
