How to set up hotmail.de for your iPhone

History of hotmail.de:

Outlook.com is a personal information manager web app from Microsoft consisting of webmail, calendaring, contacts, and tasks services. Founded in 1996 by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith as Hotmail, it was acquired by Microsoft in 1997 for an estimated $400 million and relaunched as MSN Hotmail, later rebranded to Windows Live Hotmail as part of the Windows Live suite of products. Microsoft phased out Hotmail in October 2011, relaunching the service as Outlook.com in 2012. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlook.com

How to set up hotmail.de:

It is possible that Mail will find your email configuration automatically and configure your account. Follow these steps first to see if it will:

1. Open Settings, then Mail, then click Accounts.
2. Click Add Account, tap Other then tap Add Mail Account.
3. Enter your name, your email address, password then a description for account.
4. Click Next. Mail should now try and find the e-mail parameters and finish setting your account. If the Mail app finds your e-mail configuration, click Done to complete your account setup.

If Mail hasn't been able to find your e-mail configuration, then you have to enter them yourself. I think you will find the following information useful:

Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) Setup

Configuration Needed for Sending E-mail (via SMTP)

Tap Next, then follow these steps:

1. Choose either IMAP or POP for your new account If you don't know which one to choose, contact hotmail.de
2. Type in the required details (You will have a look at the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then click Next.
3. If your mail configuration is correct, tap Save to complete the setup. If your e-mail configuration is incorrect, you'll be asked to modify those settings.
4. If you still aren't able to setup the e-mail account, or store the settings, contact the e-mail provider.
