- Download the Windows Live software at windowslive.com
- Login to the software to access your inbox
- Press Tools
- Click Options
- Select the Advanced tab
- Look for Maintenance
- Under Troubleshooting click POP, IMAP and HTTP
- Press close

It should be a success! Let us know if it worked for you…

Ori, I did what you instructed. after changing it to microsoft ie I can go to mobile.live.com then go to the Mail link but now my bb says Javascript is not installed. Can you walk me through how to install Javascript on my bb?
i can send but not reviece emails
My Hotmail account is hooked up to my Blackberry fine.
However every day when I turn on my laptop and try to sign in to Hotmail, it has locked me out – for too many attempts with an incorrect password.
?
But the password info on my Blackberry and computer are both correct. I never have any problems accessing my emails on the Blackberry.
And after a few attempts / page refreshes the computer lets me in to my Inbox!
Some weird stuff going on with Hotmail.
You’re = as in “You Are”
Not Your = as in “Belonging to You”
Jeezus people! It’s the darn English language!
How did we ever lose simple grammar school skills???
And I’m not even talking about the guy who “revieces” email…god…
Hey Donald, you know that “God” should be capitalized, right? Nobody likes you.
Can someone help me, I don’t know how to set up my e-mail this way :) Is there a way to do it through your BB browser?
Is that grammatically correct for you, Donald? I even capitalised your name for you, how nice of me.
I followed your steps about connecting hotmail to my blackberry but there is no “maintenance” option under the advance tab. Any suggestions? I really don’t want to enter all the stuff from my calender into a yahoo calender.
When I go to windowslive.com and it says download software it just goes straight into my online inbox, there is no software to actually download.
so there is no point, I may aswell just point my browser to hotmail.com
I have however just added my hotmail email address to the standard BB email client and works that way, but I would love an app specifically for hotmail as Google has.
Just blowing some free time on Stumbleupon and I found your entry. Not normally what I like to read about, but it was definitely worth my time. Thanks.
