I am able to receive my Hotmail on my BB from 8 am to 6 pm. I looked at the options on my BB and in Hotmail and I can’t find a place to set time restrictions. Is anyone else having this issue?

I just added a new hotmail account to my BB curve on an enterprise server set up for my corporate mail by just going to email settings / add new account. typed in my hotmail address and my password, then it made my accept a user license agreement, and now it is working just like my blackberry email account and shows a new mail icon on the screen. Fantastic !!! so easy even i could do it !!.

Hey You can get your Hot Mail VERY EASY. Go to your browser on your Blackberry and type in mobile.msn.com and then it comes up in History and bookmarks and you then are on your way to your Hot Mail Account. Very simple.You DO NOT need hotmail plus I pay nothing and this works GREAT. Try It !!!!!!

I have discovered the secrect to getting your Hotmail on your Pearl. Go to the Browser Options, then choose Browser Configuration. Support javascript and allow javascript popups must be checked. Finally for Emulation Choose MS Pocket IE. You Should now be able to log into your free Hotmail. I also successfully bought the Hotmail Live Plus, and am able to have it synced to my pearl so that I do not have to constantly log in to hotmail to see my mail. Good Luck.

Can someone give me a step by step guide to how I forward my hotmail account to my blackberry please.

I just got a blackberry pearl with ATT and it seems to be fine other than the fact the e-mails come through on my blackberry almost 30 minutes after it hits the hotmail servers. Any clue as to why the delay?

Can you tell me whether you pay to have hotmail emails directed to blackberry.

Work has just given me a blackberry and I have set up hotmail to it but wanted to know if my work will know and also if I will be charged more!

I have a blackberry pearl through verizon, and don’t seem to have the problems above. My e-mail syncs perfectly (wirelessly both ways). I can not get the calendar to sync. Any ideas?

what do you mean by “the new hotmail accounts”? I have had hotmail for years and still cannot get this to work.. I cannot even seem to find the upgrade and pat 20 dollars a year option from the updated live version or the classic version…..

Just did the same thing as hmmm, seems that you can now get email on your blackberry through the *new* hotmail accounts. this makes things alot easier, no more email forwarding

hmmm, I havent been able to read every single post so I am not sure if this has been said already. But I just bought the BB 8330 for the Verizon network. And on the first day I had it I was unable to set up my hotmail account and I was getting an error message. Then I have been looking online for ways on how to do it, or at least forward my hotmail email to a Gmail account which I could access from my phone.

About 45mins ago, I just felt like trying again and I went to “email settings” add new account. typed in my hotmail address and my password, then it made my accept a user license agreement, and now it is working just like my gmail or blackberry email accounts. I was very surprised, but maybe there has been a recent change to the network.

Hey G-Unit, i bought my pearl about a month ago, and set up my hotmail account on it, i have since opened a new hotmail account, the new one will not work for receving, i can send from it, but thats it. my old account will still work sending and receiving emails.

Actually, it seems that I can send hotmail messages, but receiving from 3rd parties doesn’t appear to be working, despite the fact that the email address is now listed on my BB. Any clue?

In case anyone is still trying to figure it out, I did what Steve did above (April 13th), and downloaded Windows Live Mail. Once it was installed, you have to actually set it up. It seems to create some form of Outlook-like interface for your hotmail. You have to open WLM (new icon on desktop) and set it up so that it is linked with you hotmail account. Once that was done, I was able to sync my BB Pearl 8130 with my hotmail address (from the phone setup). Working so far…

Razor – it sounds like you’ve cracked it, but I can’t quite get exactly what it is that you did to do so… Can someone please supply some simple step-by-step instructions to set up FREE hotmail on a Pearl 8120?

Well after reading everyone’s horror stories (and adding my never-used Yahoo address to my ‘berry), I have to say that I’ve 1) had my Hotmail account for about 11 years and 2) I have the Windows Live account (the beta that HM offered a year ago or so) and it works just fine. I had to wait a few but I sent a msg to myself via hotmail and blink! it popped into my Bberry’s email. I had to make sure that the option for mobile alerts was checked on my Hotmail account–you put in your wireless provider and phone # and HM emails your Bberry with the access code. You put the access code into the Hotmail screen and you should be able to get it.

Hope this helps!

I just got this to work after hours of research, trial and error, and a lot of lost hair. I downloaded the full version of Windows Live HotMail. Unfortunatly after going to a bazillion websites I don’t have a link for you. The install took about 15 minutes and it loaded some other apps like Windows live Photo Gallery, and Windows Live Mail, Live Messenger and some other junk. Anyway, I will continue to try to find it again and give a link. But if you start loading this package of apps from Microsoft and it literally takes about 10-15 minutes this made my blackberry sync with hotmail.

Ok, so… I recently got a BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and was able to set it up to access my hotmail email with no problems. I have had my hotmail account for several years. I recently got married and wanted to change my hotmail address to my married name and in order to do that, I had to set up a new hotmail account. When I tried to set up the new hotmail acct on my BB, I got an error. Any ideas?

i upgraded to hotmail plus (windows live plus), which allowed me to forward all my hotmail to my blackberry email address @ and hotmail keeps a copy of all emails in my hotmail account also.
i get my hotmail on my BB instantly and can send/ receive no problem. for a cost of $19.95/ year
