gitaroo — Thu, 06 Feb 2014 07:00:17 GMT

my hotmail can sync with the email app all the sudden, it says login fail, I check on my PC and it seems to login fine with same password etc. Anyone have the same problem?

Same problem here. It says my email address or password is wrong. After few trials with the same address and password it randomly passes and tries to sync, but error message appears and then back to login page.

Hi.

It seems that Hotmail.com (Microsoft) have had some problems with the email setup settings since the name changed to Outlook.com. You can try to remove the email account from the phone and add it with this manual settings:

Otherwise I recommend that you download Microsoft's own Outlook and Hotmail application Outlook.com to handle your emails:
