I posted before about using hotmail on your iPhone. That method used izymail as the pop e-mail host. The other problem that some people have with izymail is that you have to pay for it. It costs about $20 a year. If you don't mind paying the 20 bucks, then I highly recommend using izymail. If you don't want to drop anymore cash then I recommend using TouchMail.

TouchMail is not as good as using izymail because it doesn't not use the mail app on your iPhone but it is the next best thing. TouchMail is much more convenient then going to hotmail.com in safari and doing it that way. TouchMail almost looks like you are using the mail app but it is through safari. Best of all, it's free.

Here's how to set it up:
1. Go to http://www.tm.comvalid.com in safari on your iPhone.
2. Bookmark the site for easy access. Add it to your homescreen for even easier access.
3. Click on create account. To set up a new account - enter your hotmail email address for the user name, your hotmail password, and then enter your hotmail email again. Then click confirm.

4. You will be taken to your hotmail inbox and you are done.


They've really done a nice job with the set up and formatting of this web app. It is also good because you can turn the phone sideways and type in landscape mode which is a little easier. Personally, I prefer to use the mail app with izymail, and I'm not going to switch since I have already paid for izymail. But this is a great alternative. Give it a try.
