How to set up Hotmail.es for an iPad/iPhone

What is Hotmail.es

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

Setting up Hotmail.es

It is possible that the Mail app will find your e-mail configuration automatically and set up your account. Apply these steps first to try:

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

If the Mail app couldn't find your mail configuration, it means that you will need to enter them manually. I think you may need the following information:

Incoming E-mail (IMAP) Setup

Outgoing E-mail Settings (via SMTP)

Tap Next, then follow these steps:

1. Choose IMAP or POP If you don't know which one to choose, contact Hotmail.es
2. Type in the required information (You will want to refer to the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next.
3. If your e-mail configuration is correct, click Save to finish the setup. If the e-mail settings are incorrect, you will be asked to edit those settings
4. If you still are not able to set up your e-mail account or store your email settings, contact your e-mail provider.
