How to setup Msn, Hotmail and Live email on android phones How to sync your Hotmail Messages and Contacts with your Android Phone
M icrosoft recently enabled active sync for all hotmail users. This means your android phone has full support for synching email, contacts and calendar items onto the phone with any @msn, @live or @hotmail account. Here are the setup instructions for users running Android 2.2. These screenshots were taken from my HTC Hero running a custom 2.2 rom. Follow these steps to add a hotmail account to your android phone via Active Sync:

bali, Wednesday, 5 Sep. 2012 Android is the Best.

Jacob, Tuesday, 28 Aug. 2012 This is quite a bit outdated and looks a bit different now that there's ICS out and one additional very helpful piece of info is that if it asks for "Domain" and "Username" separately then you leave domain blank and just add your full e-mail address to the username field. Domain=blank username=full e-mail address

Steve, Saturday, 25 Aug. 2012 If you are having the server error, instead of using m.hotmail.com just use outlook.com It just worked for me! NOT m.outlook.com, just Outlook.com

odedfos, Thursday, 9 Aug. 2012 Possible solution for the the server connection error: When setting up the account make sure you have a wifi internet connection (rather than a mobile data connection). the mobile data connection might have trouble resolving the m.hotmail.com address. It worked for me :-)

Lasse, Tuesday, 17 Jul. 2012 Does someone know solution to this issue: Is there some way to set the outgoing "name" for the activesync email account? For example using this method if my email address is "myemail@hotmail.com" when I send an email the recipient always sees it as from "myemail". It should be showing my full name since that is set within my hotmail account. Can this be configured on the stock android email client?

Is there some way to set the outgoing "name" for the activesync email account? For example using this method if my email address is "myemail@hotmail.com" when I send an email the recipient always sees it as from "myemail". It should be showing my full name since that is set within my hotmail account. Can this be configured on the stock android email client?

sayde, Thursday, 22 Sep. 2011 Worked sync for the E-mail but NOT contacts were transferred.

Rich, Friday, 26 Aug. 2011 Worked even when setting up a live.co.uk account use m.hotmail.com and instead of going to settings then sync just go into app drawer and select email and then exchange

Ben Simpson, Friday, 19 Aug. 2011 thanks for this. I tried this after two failed attempts with other sites and now all is imported and set up, thanks! /bookmarks site

Jeff, Thursday, 18 Aug. 2011 Very clear, but left out a step regarding preferences for pushing data etc. IF this does not work, it could be because you still have to set up the account with the Blackberry server - if your firm is using one. For e3xample I had to go to www.digicel.blackberry.com

niko, Saturday, 28 M ay. 2011 I've got Android 2.2 and it worked, but I had to configure it trough the mail app, otherwise I get an error.

Dave, Tuesday, 24 M ay. 2011 the settings for a live.com or a live.co.uk account are the same as above... e.g. m.hotmail.com in server section

Carlos Lugo, Thursday, 19 M ay. 2011 Thanks for the config info

Jono, Friday, 13 M ay. 2011 Which mail programme are you gyus using for this to work?

Cla, Thursday, 12 M ay. 2011 It worked on my HTC Desire Android 2.2. I too did not have M icrosoft Exchange ActiveSync, however I have a similar logo than the one in the picture above (the white box) with Corporate written next to it. Just click on that and follow exactly the step by step approach and voila'. I've been waiting for this hotmail sync for some time. IT WORKS. M any Thanks for posting

Paul, Tuesday, 26 Apr. 2011 I keep getting an error: authentication failed. Please verify username and/or password. I know the settings I've entered are correct. Are the settings the same for an M SN.com account? Does it matter that I have a Corporate Exchange account on the phone? Thanks
