Help Set up push mail for Hotmail on Droid 3

[stevdog]

Hi all.

First off, yes I searched for this question and could not find a match that would help me.

Second, yes I still use Hotmail so save it!

Anyway I have had other Droid phones and successfully set up the push functions. I cannot seem to figure it out on my new Droid 3. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I don't have Hotmail but I use K-9 mail for my google and zoomtown accounts. I did have to search a little (back with the D1) and find the correct settings for Zoomtown to manually set it up. The defaults that the Droid put in were not correct.

Here are the manual settings from Microsoft:

Server / URL - m.hotmail.com
Username - Enter full email address, for example: someone@example.com
Domain - Leave this blank
SSL - Enable this
Certificate - Accept the SSL certificate when prompted

Hotmail now supports push email, calendar, and contacts with Exchange ActiveSync

Thanks very much for your help. I didn't realize you need to set it up through Corporate Sync. Looks like I'm up and running!
