or you can just, you know, check via hotmail once in a while....
Yea I don't see what's so hard about logging into hotmail.com once a month...
4) Then in Hotmail, go to options, and select "Forward mail to another e-mail account". now add your gmail account, and it will let you.
^ I got stuck on that step and was handed this disclaimer:
"You're only able to forward mail to a custom domain or an e-mail address that ends in hotmail.com, msn.com, or live.com. Please try again. "

Yup, this option is only there in 3 circumstances:
1) You have a VERY old Hotmail account - I can't quantify this except to say that I have 2 hotmail accounts and the older of the 2 has it.
2) You pay for the premium service
3) You work for Microsoft and sign-up for the Live dogfood
If that's the case, then I'd consider shelling out the extra $20 for premium service. That's less than 6 cents a day to have your hotmail on your iphone.
I don't mind paying $20 p/year, but I want to make sure it does work before paying MSN.![]()
If anybody here have the premium Hotmail account and can gives us some feedback regarding if Hotmail indeed work just like gmail, I would appreciate.

If you guys don't mind paying 20 bones a year try izymail. I use it and it works perfectly.
That's not guaranteed.
I contacted MSN and they said that could work but they did not say it was for sure.
Less than a minute after I tried my hotmail account again on my iPhone and it worked.
So if you think the money is worth it (personally I would have paid more than $20 since I have had this email address for several years and I still don't get spam) then go for it.

PS it seems that people who have had Hotmail for a really long time do not have to pay for the upgrade since they are already considered premium users. This explains why older hotmail addresses work already with iPhone, BB, etc. So don't pay unless you have to.
Em, just out of curiosity. Why cant the iphone do hotmail? It is suppose to be a smart phone right?
If you want to get Hotmail right on your iPhone without all the problems have a look at mboxmail.
