8925 Tilt Email

[blkacrd86]

Can i configure my tilt to accept my hotmail emails like it did on my 8125? Or is it one of those you have to pay for a service for it to work type of things .

I am not familiar with Hotmail, but whatever you did on the 8125 you should be able to do on the Tilt

Well i actually didn't do anything to the email settings in the 8125. All i had to do was select the little email icon on the today screen and it would open up the email screen then all i had to do is hit send and receive and it would load my emails. With the tilt i try setting up the account in the email sample and it says it will try and collect the settings but it isn't able to, and it just gives me a link to the windows live site. I tried plug in some info in to see if it would work and i could get it to try and download the emails but then it tells me it cant download them and i need to check the settings so..............

I went to Hotmail and they have the instructions to setup the account manually:

If you have a Windows Live Hotmail Plus subscription, you can use a POP3 (POP3, or Post Office Protocol 3, is a protocol that's used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server.) server to add your Windows Live Hotmail account to Microsoft Outlook Express and access messages there. If you download and install Windows Live Mail, you can add your Windows Live Hotmail account to Windows Live Mail and access your messages and contacts there.

5. Enter the following information, and then click Next:

8. In the Internet Accounts window, click the Mail tab, click the Windows Live Hotmail account that you added, and then click Properties.
