The solution is Izymail. You can check out their site at http://www.izymail.com/

How it works:

Since hotmail is only a web based email (unless you use the windows live mail program) it won't wont on the iPhone because its not a pop email (i think).

Anyways, izymail acts as the server between the web based-ness of hotmail and your iPhone.

A slight downside to it is that it costs about $20 per year to use. Not bad considering what it will do but not everyone always wants to keep shelling out money here and there for random computer things. There is no lag in sending or receiving messages.

It is worth it to me because I have always used hotmail. I don't want to have the hassle of having all my emails forwarded to gmail. It is also a plus for me because I am using it to have hotmail in the mail app on my new macbook.

So if you only use hotmail or mainly use it, this is a must have.

How to set it up:

- Go to izymail.com and sign up for an account

- You will have a trial account which only allows you to send/receive a fixed amount of messages

- Pay them the $20 to have a full account (you could set it up first to try then pay them too)

- On your iPhone select settings, mail, add account

- On the page, tap pop and start entering the settings.

- Put your name however you want

- address - you@hotmail.com

- description - blank

- Incoming Mail Server

host name - in.izymail.com

user name - you@hotmail.com

password - yourhotmailpassword

- Outgoing Mail Server

host name - out.izymail.com

user name - you@hotmail.com

password - yourhotmailpassword

It will take about 5 minutes to set up, when the ssl errors pop up, just hit yes. You can arrange stuff in your izymail profile on their site to your preferences about saving, receiving, sending your email etc.

There you have it.
