Do you..
- …have an HP Touchpad?
- …have a Hotmail email account?
- …hate that you can’t see your Hotmail folders (i.e. Junk mail, custom folders)?
If you answered yes to all 3 questions above, here is the solution:
- Remove your Hotmail account if you already have it configured (Settings>Accounts>select account>Remove Account)
- Back in Settings>Accounts click on Add an Account
- Select Microsoft Exchange
- Click on Manual Setup
- Enter your Email Address at the top
- For Server Name enter https://m.hotmail.com
- Leave Domain blank
- For Username enter your whole email address again
- Enter your password
- Click on Sign In
- Next you can choose what services to sync
You can tell whether you succeeded or not if the Account icon looks like a mini MS Outlook icon:
Now go check on your Email app and when you expand your Hotmail account you’ll see all your folders.
Enjoy!

I tried this on mine and its not working. It claims that my password incorrect most of the time, but it isn’t. Then it tries to claim that its not connecting to the server. Any ideas on what the problem may be?

My folders all came up but they don’t have any of my saved emails. I restarted my touchpad but saved emails still not showing.

Thanks for your replies. This was probably working on a previous version of the OS. What version do you have installed?

Versjon 3.0.4 Also my emails now all come up with a link to the website. I can’t just read them on the Touchpad like you can on a computer

I have 3.0.5 and when I set it up my hotmail as an exchange it cannot logon as bad username or password. But if I setup as email account it works okay but don’t get all folders. Any ideas what could be wrong
