I'm trying to set my new phone up to receive my Hotmail automatically. I need incoming mail server details and account type. How do I find that out?

Cheers for your help.

You can't.


Hotmail is often criticised for only giving paying subscribers of the Hotmail Plus service access to WebDAV functionality, allowing e-mails to be downloaded locally via a desktop application such as Microsoft Outlook. Hotmail was originally available with WebDAV to all, but in 2004 the service was revoked for free users. However, today, it is possible to access a Hotmail account outside of an internet browser, though only on the Microsoft Windows platform, by using Windows Live Mail for free. One can also access e-mail messages and contacts in any Hotmail account using Microsoft Office Outlook Connector for free, though access of calendar, tasks and notes requires a premium subscription. Mozilla Thunderbird can be used to access Hotmail accounts (as well as other web-based e-mail) in combination with the WebMail extension.

Get yourself a Googlemail account
http://mail.google.com
then you can download the mobile Google applications to your phone
http://www.google.co.uk/mobile
which is just one of many many reasons why everyone should have Googlemail.

Yes. Lots of cash. IF the network you roam onto abroad, allows you data access.
