Activesync working on Hotmail again?

August 11, 2010 | By Surur

Liveside.net reports that Activesync appears one again to be enabled in Hotmail (or Windows Live Mail). The feature, which was briefly active in June, appears now once again to have made a re-appearance.

An example of the settings to set up an account is below:

email: [email protected]
server address: m.hotmail.com
SSL enabled
username: [email protected]
password: password
Domain: <blank>

Have any of our readers been able to get it working? Let us know below.

To get Hotmail on-the-go, you recently tried to set up a service called ActiveSync from your mobile device.

We are really glad that you're interested, but we had so many sign-ups that we had to temporarily stop accepting new ones.

We're making constant improvements and we should be accepting new requests fairly soon. Please check the following website in about two weeks to see what's happening: http://www.hotmail.com.

Thanks again for using Hotmail–we're really sorry about this delay.

Sincerely,
The Hotmail Team

It's working great for my @live.com account and co-exists with my Gmail Exchange ActiveSync on my iPhone4. Thanks for the tip!

I get that Mail after trying to active-sync with live (in German):
Damit Sie Hotmail unterwegs verwenden können, haben Sie kürzlich versucht, einen Dienst mit dem Namen ActiveSync über Ihr mobiles Gerät einzurichten.

Wir freuen uns sehr über Ihr Interesse. Wir hatten jedoch so viele Anmeldungen zu verzeichnen, dass wir vorübergehend keine neuen Anmeldungen annehmen können.

Wir arbeiten ständig an Verbesserungen und sollten in Kürze wieder neue Anforderungen annehmen können. Rufen Sie die folgende Website in etwa zwei Wochen erneut auf, und sehen Sie nach, was es Neues gibt: http://www.hotmail.com.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie Hotmail verwenden. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Verzögerung.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Das Hotmail-Team
