Get Hotmail on your iPhone
Newsflash: People still use Microsoft’s relatively-unimpressive Hotmail email service. And if you’re a Hotmail user and sport an iPhone, you may have run into difficulties checking your Hotmail account on the phone via Mail. But if you’re thoroughly entrenched and have hundreds of contacts, switching to a new, iPhone-friendly email address may not be an option.
Fortunately for you, our cohorts at Mac OS X Hints have your back, detailing steps that will allow you to use Gmail to access and send Hotmail emails on the iPhone. (You’ll also be able to use these steps to similarly set-up Hotmail-sending-and-receiving in Apple Mail.)
You’ll need a Gmail address with IMAP enabled, and you’ll have to set up your Hotmail account to forward emails to that Gmail address. Tweak a few preferences in Gmail, and set up the account on your iPhone using the recommended settings on Mac OS X Hints.
If you follow the instructions carefully, you’ll be able to use Gmail to view and send Hotmail emails on your iPhone, without ever having to log into Hotmail again (hooray!).
