Are you using these settings?

Hotmail/MSN
incoming mail server: pop3.live.com
Security type = SSL
Server port 995

outgoing mail server: smtp.live.com
login required = yes
security type = TLS

Server port 587

 

[escalade6103]

No it doesn't have the same set up as regular os does. It only has wherein can set up corporate or gmail

did you access your pop3 settings in the Email app in your drawer?
you need to type in your email and password, then hit manual setup and hit pop3

and fill it out accordingly

 

[escalade6103]

Yeah I did put it as pop3. Says unable to make connection W server.

Ditch Backup Assistant for Google's cloud. Export your BA contacts from Verizon's website, while logged into Backup Assistant, as a .csv file. Log into your Gmail account on your computer and import the .csv file. Your contacts will automatically sync over to your device.

Open K9, it should ask you to set up your email account the first time. Then it should ask if you want to let K9 set it up automatically or manually. Choose manual setup. Use the settings I provided.

If you somehow managed to get your email account setup already, but it's not working, then go to your account, press Menu, More, Settings, Account Settings. Enter the settings I provided under Fetching mail Settings, and Sending mail Settings.
