Hotmail.com mail on iPad Mail is one of the core apps of the iPad. Rich, HTML email was shown off by Steve Jobs in 2007 when he first introduced the iPhone, and again in 2010 when he introduced the iPad.


Setting up hotmail on iPad mail. By default your iPad will try and setup your hotmail, live.com or outlook.com email account using Exchange Active Link (EAS). Unfortunately when using EAS you may find when moving or deleting an email on your ipad you get the error:

Unable to Move Message: The message could not be moved to the mailbox.

To prevent this error you can setup your iPad using POP3 instead.


How-to setup your iPad with POP3 Press the Home button and choose Settings.

Scroll down and click Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Click “Add Account…”


Scroll down and click “Other”

Click “Add Email Account”


You will be asked for your Name, Email address and password. Fill them in then click “Next� at the top right of the screen.

You may get an error message, if so click OK, then click the big POP button at the top of the screen. It will turn blue.


You now need to fill in the details as follows: • Incoming Mail Server • Host name: pop3.live.com User name: [your hotmail email account] Password: [your hotmail password] • Outgoing Mail Server • Host name: smtp.live.com User name: [your hotmail email account] Password: [your hotmail password]

There are some advanced setting you can configure too, but they should not be required by default. Be careful adding the information and then click “Save” at the top right.


The account will then be verified and saved by your iPad.

Press the Home button and then re-open Mail.


Note: Please note the following limitations when using POP3: • There’s no Synchronization so when you read a message on your iPad, the message will still be shown as unread if you access Hotmail via the web. • Only the Inbox messages can be viewed using POP3. Any other folders including user created ones can not be viewed.
