I just set up Hotmail on my iPod Touch. Everything works fine but the Inbox only displays unread messages. How do I get access to the entire Inbox?

Great advice! I changed my hotmail password and couldn’t get my emails to send from my iphone. I followed the above and it still wouldn’t send. So thanks to whoever posted to deactive the old hotmail pop3 account. Now I can send e mails! Thanks!

Go to the email account, update SMTP server, then click on SMTP server again and update the password in that field. Now you can send emails. You dont need to change anything else.

There is a glitch that when you update the OS on the phone, it doesnt carry over the password for outgoing mail. This is a well know glitch. Not sure if they resolved it in iOS 6 but the fix does work on iOS6.

I’m having the same exact issue regarding the read messages and basically doing double work. After doing some investigating, it seems that (unfortunately) hotmail is not up to speed with making this work. I have read that gmail seems to run more smoothly in both directions, but I’m still unsure if that same issue exists there. I am considering changing my hotmail to gmail, but first will open an account just to see if it works.

Maje sure you have typed your password under incoming mail server and one again under outgoing mail server sections. I can now receive and send emails. This is on iPhone 4s.

I’ve had hotmail set up on my IPhone 4S for months with no problems and only recently it won’t let me access it. Tells me I need to verify my password which I keep typing in correctly, this has also happened to my roommate who has an IPhone 4, any help would be greatly appreciated! It only started this maybe 5 days ago.

I was SO happy to find this thread. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was going nuts! I did have to delete the old account first to get it to work, but it’s just fine now. (MSN outgoing email)
Yay.
