How do I put a msn shortcut or icon on my Samsung homepage. I accidentally deleted it.

Android Kevin - 2018-05-23

Worked a treat! Be sure to change your user name to "user@hotmail.com" or whatever it should be... won't work without it! Also... app passwords! Go set them up from a web browser at www.outlook.com. See here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12409/microsoft-account-app-passwords-two-step-verification

Used to have the default email and calendar linked to my hotmail account on the LG G3. No longer works for some reason. In manual set-up for MS Exchange it asks for a domain name as well as server address. Any ideas what you enter in the domain name field?

THANK YOU ROBIN! I have been going crazy since Saturday trying to get my Hotmail back. I changed it from m.Hotmail to m.outlook and it worked. I was on the phone with Verizon all morning and they just said nothing I can do it's hotmail thing.

Philllip - 2017-02-04

I used BlueMail and everyhting worked for me. Exchange server (push notifications), calendar and contacts sync with the google applications. I immediately received an email from Microsoft telling me to use the outlook app because it is "the best". I think it is a piece of junk. In the email from Microsoft I had to click in small print where it said "use another mail app instead" and I was sent to a web page where I again had to say that I wanted to use another app. The settings show eas.outlook.com as the server but I could not get this to work with the default app.

Todd - 2017-02-02

Had same issue about server status constantly checking, simple fix, info above is incorrect you need to change exchange server from m.hotmail.com to m.outlook.com should work

Dashti - 2017-02-02

Hi. I have a problem with log in to my hotmail Email account... i already read the above description but what is happening with me is that the account is takes long time to retrieve from the server... that's my problem And every time i cancel the sign in. Please i need to know what is going on this time ? Thanks

Harry R Karibian - 2017-01-31

When I do this, I get a box that says Checking incoming server settings that never seems to stop. Why do you suppose this is. I can still find mail on my laptop and through gmail, but I want my email back to the way it was on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

Phillip - 2017-01-26

I've already set up the account and I'm getting emails from my hotmail. However the only way I can check it is when I get one and access it through the notification. I'm trying to figure out how to create an icon so that I can have a shortcut.

curtis - 2017-01-25

On my S7 I set up email but keep getting :checking incoming server settings" Email will not load.

John Beyea - 2017-01-23

Having a problem with something causing email addresses to be added to my phone contact list on my Samsung Galaxy Mini III. No one seems to know why it is happening or what to do about it. I can delete all of the entries in the list, run a Verizon Cloud restore and everything is OK for a while. Soon enough all of the email addresses show back up in the Contact List. Initially we were unable to set up the Live.com email using the embedded 'email' app that came pre-installed on the phone. We had to download the Outlook app to be able to receive emails on the the phone. We do get the emails so the account is synced with the phone but something is causing all the email addresses, on the account, to be added to the phone contact list. Can you help?

Basshole - 2017-01-19

So I read the comment section ater commenting and changed hotmail for outlook, it worked. Why does this site fuck with people like this!

basshole - 2017-01-19

it didn't work, checks incoming server settings never completes checking them never connects

Robin - 2017-01-18

My email is hotmail but the m.hotmail.com server didn't work for me. However, m.outlook.com did.

Gee - 2017-01-17

I used the m.hotmail.com, but it didn't work so I CHANGED it to m.live.com since I have a live.com email address Awesome!!!

just used penny's advice and it worked! whoohoo! thanks penny

angie - 2017-01-01

Paul - 2016-12-31

Success!! I remembered that I had received a mail from Microsoft telling me to reconnect my desktop Outlook to the outlook.com account. (in simpler terms, to remove my live.com account from Outlook and reinstall it ). I did not think it had anything to do with the problem below, but being unsuccessful and desperate I did just that and BINGO, it did the trick! I can now connect my live.com account to the native mail app of my LG-G3, using outlook.live.com as the server address.

martin - 2016-12-27

Paul, you can add agenda with 'agenda apps' , contacts are in as well

Paul - 2016-12-23

using outlook.live.com worked for me 2 months ago. I had to remove the account and now when trying to reinstall, it does not work. Getting "cannot connect to server"

Paul - 2016-12-23

Martin, using POP/SMTP syncs only mail. It does not sync calendar/contacts/Tasks. Is it it so?

Laura - 2016-12-22

I did what Penny 2016-12-05 suggested and it worked! Thanks Penny!! (Hotmail email on new Samsung S7 phone).

stuart - 2016-12-19

after reboot of phone the mail sync to my account has not resumed. As others state, it has just died & disappeared several days ago. I have not changed anything on the phone. Trip to O2 store will be required, it's obviously a system issue(windows for Hotmail or Sony phone or O2 network)

Martin - 2016-12-12

Below worked for me after 3 weeks of 'cannot connect to server' Solution POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995). POP SSL : Yes. Username : your Windows Live ID, e.g yourname@hotmail.com . Password: your Hotmail or Windows Live password. SMTP server : smtp.live.com (Port 587 or 25). Authentification: oui (same login and password used for the POP3). Select TLS (if possible).

gus - 2016-12-11

Setup incomplete cannot connect to server. Try again after netwok connection and entered informatiom. the newtwork is up and working. but i get the above message.

Santi - 2016-12-07

you are a genious. Solved all my problems, saved my life. Thank you a lot!

Penny - 2016-12-05

Wow - it just worked. Not sure it's going to stay but so far so good. All mails and calendar (different colour to before but I can live with that!) Went in to standard Email app Settings Add Account Add new Account Typed in e-mail and password (during all other tries over past 3 days I had already turned off the two step varification and turned on POP and IMAP in options in hotmail on my pc) Manual set up Change the server from m.hotmail.com to outlook.live.com Set up Worked for me :-)

Penny - 2016-12-05

Having the same issues. Have tried so many options. Sometimes it loads up but only my inbox is there, not all my sub folders, and all the mails are unread (even ones I've deleted or moved in hotmail on my pc). And no calendar at all in S Planner. It was working fine till last week then wasn't syncing so I stupidly deleted and now can't get it back - it's a nightmare!! The Outlook app is rubbish - especially the calendar which has the craziest view options - nothing workable! And my mail is the G-mail app but no calendar at all. I just want it back how it was!!

Keara - 2016-12-04

I have s7 edge and I can't get my live mail to work on the phone anymore, I don't want to use outlook it's rubbish. Someone HELP

Mike Wilson - 2016-12-03

I am having the same issue configuring my hotmail on Galaxy S7 edge with Exchange active sync. I fill in all the correct settings with the server m.hotmail.com and it just spins saying "Checking incoming server settings ..." Tried using m.outlook.com and this does not work either as no emails and no folders, and outlook.live.com does nothing at all... This is really frustrating as it worked fine on my old Galaxy Note 4. I do not want to install the Outlook App which is useless and I need all my calendars in the same place : S Calendar Any Ideas : could this be an android issue ?

Monica Sandler - 2016-12-01

I have an Samsung Galaxy 5S and I am tring to load my live.com email. I know I am doing it correctly becuase when I got to the icon I used to use for an Exchange account, I get the icon/option to create an Outlook.com account. I tap that, then I get a pick-list asking me to select what kind of MS account (outlook, hotmail, MSN or live). I select live.com and fill in my credentials but all I get is the spinning screen telling me it is "Checking incoming server settings..." It just spins and spins and spins. What gives?

GermanRomero - 2016-11-28

Thanks, changed the server to outlook.live.com worked for me.

Rebelito - 2016-11-25

I can't get connected as a Microsoft Exchange account or direct Hotmail account. Either with m.hotmail.com or outlook.live.com. It had been connected, but stopped syncing several days ago, so I deleted the account and thought I could just reinstall the account, but have not been able to for several days.

Sol - 2016-11-25

It happened to me few days ago. I deleted the account and reinstalled and it worked, but now it happened again and nothing is working

Ron - 2016-11-24

Correction to my previous post a few minutes ago. The SIII eventually came good without having to make any change. I kept trying for two days and a few hours ago got the server connection back. The S7 model would not allow connection and this is the one that I did a manual install and replaced the server address to outlook.live.com and it worked on first try.

Ron - 2016-11-24

I had trouble on 2 phones - Samsung SIII and Samsung S7. I followed someone's advice to change the server from m.hotmail.com to outlook.live.com in the manual setup and it's now all good. thanks for the tip.

Anonymous - 2016-11-24

Microsofts fix did not work for me. Changing the exchange server does not work either. Stuck forever on "checking incoming server settings".

Martin - 2016-11-24

still doesn't work for me on my LG android neither live.com or hotmail.com Are the servers still down? Is it a geographical thing that some can and others like me cant connect?

Tom - 2016-11-23

Thank you. Changing the Exchange server to outlook.live.com worked well.

Tami - 2016-11-23

For the LOVE OF GOD - nothing is working for me to connect my Hotmail account again. I've tried it all - outlook.live.com; m.hotmail.com; different ports; manual setup.

Andy - what port did you use with the manual setup? Thanks!

Sudesh - 2016-11-23

I have been having same problems since November 17. Did the following that was recommend below, "entered credentials, choose "Manual Setup" after you are at the screen where you enter your credentials. For the Exchange Server enter: outlook.live.com" it worked for my hotmail account, Thanks for the help!

Lyndal Marohl - 2016-11-23

Have 2 Samsung phones. Both stopped synch at about 1300 11/21/16. Spent 1.5 hours with Verizon agent she could not solve issue. She took a new LG droid out of the box and had me setup my e mail account on it. All it would do is "checking incoming server setting". She told me it was a Hotmail problem and told me to contract Microsoft. Good luck with that!

I have MSN, Outlook, and Hotmail email accounts. Hotmail is still giving me the "cannot connect to server". However, MSN and Outlook are fine. I've tried several different things. My Hotmail account was locked for some unknown reason but has now been unlocked. It still doesn't work. I can login online but not on my LG G3. Is there a fix?

My msn account is not working / updating to my phone. Continues to tell my I have a bad connection to the server. What do I need to do to fix this?

Holly - 2016-11-22

ryan--I tried changing the server to outlook.live.com but that didn't work. What is weird is I have 2 hotmail accounts. One is working and the other hasn't worked since the evening of 11/20/16. I'm baffled. The account that is working has way more unread emails (and total emails for that matter) in it. So I doubt # of emails being processed is an issue.

ryan - 2016-11-22

m.hotmail.com is having issues at the moment. There has been a spike of traffic to this page over the last 2 days. everyone is having problems please try to change the server to outlook.live.com and report if it is working for you or not!

Willianto - 2016-11-22

I still can not connect. it shows 'Couldn't open connection to server' Please advise. Many Thanks.

ryan - 2016-11-22

Some others have commented that using outlook.live.com for the exchange server in step 4 has worked for them. If someone else can confirm i will update the instructions.

tony choy - 2016-11-22

I have the same problem unable to connect to server on my android hotmail. This happened 2 days ago on 20 nov 2016 when I cannot synch any new emails on my android LG G4 phone. I deleted the app and reinstalled, but not working. then I have tried to set this up on a Sony mphone and a Samsung tab, all failed. I also went into my hotmail from my PC and permanently deleted about 30% of my mails, but still failed. I believe this is a hotmail issue as I have been using hotmail for years without problems, then without doing anything it failed.

Niki - 2016-11-22

Same as Linda, it keeps saying unable to connect to server. I am on a sony Xperia Z3

I just purchased a Motorola G4 Android, but the tech in the store opened my contact account under a gmail name - my old Android was set up with my personal e-mail account - which I want to use, so can't transport - how can I change e-mail on my Contacts icon? Thank you

Hakan Kilic - 2016-11-08

You know what, I had just connected my phone after finding the answer from another site but then realized that I can't send/receive emails form the default email app on my Galaxy S7. So, instead, I downloaded the Outlook app. I know it's not the same but so far so good. I transferred all my email accounts over to the Outlook app and they all work fine.

Hakan Kilic - 2016-11-08

After entering credentials, choose "Manual Setup" after you are at the screen where you enter your credentials. For the Exchange Server enter: outlook.live.com Note: If you are using two-step verification for your Hotmail account, then you need to create an "App password" at "https://account.live.com/proofs/Manage" after you sign in to your Hotmail account. Good luck!

my Huawei e'mail on my phone won't accept my password but it is fine on my Huawei tablet

Diogenator - 2016-09-25

I finally got it to work!!! Microsoft DID change their methodology. My hotmail account was getting bogus messages, so Microsoft instructed me to turn on two-step security. I did. At that point, hotmail stopped working on my Galaxy Note 3, though I didn't catch on. I started getting cell phone alerts that my hotmail account couldn't authenticate. Hotmail finally got removed from my phone's pile of email accounts. When I tried to reinstall hotmail, there was no way for the Android email setup process to handle the second security step, so it simply failed to authenticate. Now that I have removed Microsoft's two-step security verification process, hotmail reinstalled just fine on my Android. I hope my travail helps others.

Diogenator - 2016-09-25

I think Microsoft may have changed their methodology. My hotmail account used to work just fine on my Android. Over time now, I have spent hours trying to get my Galaxy Note 3 to recognize my hotmail account. I constantly get an authentication-failed message.

Rick - 2016-09-20

I have an LG Fuel with Android 4.4 kernel 3.4+. I place my Hotmail account on it when I first got the phone, and it worked great. Now it doesn't. From the comments below, I'm not the only one. So why do I not see the solution above? I tried using eas.outlook.com for the server, from Bryon's comments of 2016-09-01, and it works. I had to delete my account and re-add it; since it would not let me change the server.

Byron Galyer - 2016-09-01

2-Sept-16 I'm having the same problem as Mike. My hotmail was working fine on my Android smartphone, along with a yahoo account and a gmail account. Then, all of a sudden, out of the blue, no warning, would ya believe it, bugger me days, can't be happening, are you joking, I need 2 step verification. Tried fruitlessly, unsuccessfully, and in vain to add it again. Gmail works not a problem, but hotmail is my main account. It keeps coming up with IMAP/STMP is not enabled. These instructions seemed to work, but when I put "m.hotmail.com" in SERVER, it reverts to "eas.outlook.com" and works sweet as!! Cheers for the help, Caped Crusader!!

Justin - 2016-07-26

If you have 2 step verification turned on, you need to generate and use an app password through windows live.

mike - 2016-07-14

I cannot log onto my hotmail account from my android phone anymore. I do not want to download anymore apps as I don't have enough memory on my phone to support it.

If you have the two step verification process set up on your email account, turn it off and your email will sync.

Stella Murphy - 2015-08-31

following your instructions and its telling me my password is incorrect. i couldn't remember it so i changed it and it won't work

Matt M - 2015-08-28

I used these instructions with one exception: If you're using 2-step verification, it doesn't need to be disabled. Simply create an app password for it and use that instead of your regular password. This is done inside your standard MS account settings, not your mail account settings. I used this method to setup my Hotmail account.

Nani - 2015-08-27

Thanks. I had downloaded many apps but they didn't help at all. but this just helped.

jill - 2015-08-26

My S5 is using up all my data on my Hotmail. How can I solve this. Thanks

Shin - 2015-02-13

You may need to enter an "App Password" if you are using the default Mail app on your android. You need to sign in on the PC to get the App Password and then on your device under the server settings, enter the generated password.

Pam - 2015-02-09

This helped tremendously with my "authentication failed" on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (reading comments and trouble shooting with those as well). I had to enable POP from my PC, and also turn off the 2-step verification. Then, BAM!, it worked! :) Thanks for the help!

M - 2015-02-09

For those having issues with "authentication failed" you MUST enable POP on your Hotmail account from your PC BEFORE installing on your phone. By default Microsoft sets it as Disable. Login to your Hotmail from your PC and go into Settings - then sellect Connect devices and apps with POP - and Enable it. I have been trying to add Hotmail to my phone for 6months and am now able to use Hotmail on my phone

Without both of those, it just kept saying server not found. Someone else may already have said this, but haven't read every comment as so many. Thank you for the help.

Pras - 2014-08-25

Pass/ username/ server error happened when i was not exactly following ur instructions. Later I just followed your instructions verbatim. Despite being outlook i did not alter any instruction that u suggested (which looked like hotmail instruction) and it worked. Thanks.

Juanita - 2014-08-24

If you are trying to set up your email account to your android phone and its not working. I had to set a new password for my email account on computer it then prompted me to use a new app password which i entered under my email address on the phone and it worked! I was getting the username/password/client certificate incorrect businesss its something to do with email providers having two step verification?

Isabel Rosas - 2014-08-22

When I enter the Domain/username and password it keeps telling me the name or password are wrong and to try again :(

Karen - 2014-08-21

Thanks so much this worked on my Kyocera android.

rahman jenkins - 2014-08-21

Can i link to my Facebook this way

Hugh - 2014-08-19

Didnt work on my xperia sp "username, password or client certificate incorrect" I have done it exactly as you show, I also tried with the defaults that appeared, i.e., the domain name did not have @hot..... and the server name did not have m. before hotmail.com, all with no luck. Any assistance welcome!

Marijke - 2014-08-17

Thank you, I'd been looking for that solution for a while. My phone and computer are talking to each other again ;)

Joe - 2014-08-15

Found my problem by chance!! For some reason app "exchange services" was deactivated. After activation (see Settings>Apps>All) everything works perfectly again. Thanks for your hints!

JayM - 2014-08-15

Worked perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy SII running Android 4.0.4. Thanks for this! Very helpful to a new Android convert.

Joe - 2014-08-15

Same problem as Barbara has. No chance to get it working, always say "unable to open connection to server". Was already working in the past, but stopped working correctly up to some one week ago. I deleted the account, and now I am successlessly trying to reinstall the hotmail and live mailbox: Has Microsoft changed something? (Xperia J, Android 4.1.2)

Barbara Townend - 2014-08-15

Won't work on my galaxynote just says unable to open connection to server

Mohammad Adil - 2014-08-12

Lynette - 2014-08-12

Very nice site!

teacher Jhay - 2014-07-27

Thank you so much! It worked on me :) Have a great day!

Dando - 2014-07-26

Hasn't worked for me. I've got a Galaxy Samsung 4s bought today. Have it connected to my Yahoo account but cannot, despite everything, get it connected to my Hotmail.co.uk account. Have tried everything.

Patricia - 2014-07-26

Further to my comment below - I also had to first delete the existing Live email account off the phone as I was getting the "account already exists" message.

Patricia - 2014-07-26

Thanks a lot for this input - I have been unable to receive / send emails from my Galaxy Note 2 since late May 2014. Would have been nice if Microsoft sent out a warning on this "BEFORE" they made the change. Too late AFTER the event as you would not get the email message anyway !

redtyke - 2014-07-25

Works a treat from the e-mail app on my Samsung Galaxy Tab; many thanks

mango - 2014-07-23

thanks for this it worked a treat, had taken me 3 days to find this.

sheila - 2014-07-20

Thanks you so much. I followed your directions and was able to get my msn email up again on my 2 year old HTC Droid. Some of the steps were different, but was able to figure it out. You rock!!

d chen - 2014-07-20

Thanks. You're the best help. Workers in the shop couldn't even figure out how to set up.

Yolanda - 2014-07-19

Looking at the comments, glad I'm not alone ? Galaxy Note2 "unable to connect to server". Hope this gets fixed soon!

Chris - 2014-07-18

I've had problems logging into hotmail using android email. It turns out that when I enabled two step verification the app needs a special app password. The link for the info page is here. This has worked for me. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/app-passwords-two-step-verification

Scott Jensen - 2014-07-17

The article's instructions worked for me, although I had to delete the hotmail account I had already tried to set up in the email app. It makes no sense that the setup in the email app would be any different than the Add Account setup.

kay - 2014-07-16

still not working says unable to connect to server it use to work i am going mad

sharon - 2014-07-16

Roy Barry - 2014-07-15

I cannot set up my msn account on my android. It was on but was deleted accidently. Trying to get it back on but says username or password incorrect. I changed the pw on my PC and it works. How do I do it manually. Extremely frustrated...my business email address.

mike - 2014-07-14

alia - 2014-07-13

Hi.got a galaxy s4 mini and I have problem with my outgoing server for my hotmail.co.uk I received my mail but cant send any! I alao got a hotmail.com and its working perfectly.plz help as im using it on the wifi so its not my network problem as im not using my data.thx

ttnyny - 2014-07-10

Thanks. Your tutorial helped me avoid using any of the various poorly-rated Hotmail apps available at Google Play (including the "official" Outlook app, which few people seem to like). And, I appreciate the simple, clean, ad-free interface of the built-in mail client.

Kerry - 2014-07-09

My Galaxy sIII won't sync my MSN email nor Outlook calendar. I can't remove my email account to start it over because it would have to be changed back to factory settings to do so, it says. I can't change any settings to edit the server URL either. I started using the Outlook.com app but it doesn't seem to sync well enough either (locks up) and there is no calendar with it, and it won't sync with my phone's native calendar app. I don't want to reset it to factory settings to start it over, plus I don't know that will fix the problem. Any help please?

Linda - 2014-07-08

Where do I get the Calendar that will sink. Please explain how this works?

Jonel - 2014-07-08

Excellent. Worked a treat

christina - 2014-07-05

Got as far as Account setup and server settings but the next won't work or the previous don't understand it , any ideas ?

Don Sexton - 2014-07-05

I have been unable to access my hotmail account on my Samsung Galaxy since changing my password

alex - 2014-07-05

This doesnt work if you have a live email... lets say xxx@live.dk I have tried sooo many things... like m.hotmail.dk, m.hotmail.com, m.live.dk, m.live.com and none of those things work... I haven't been able to find ANY solution that helps me with adding a @live.dk email to my phone...

Eveboing - 2014-07-04

I got my new S5 and did follow your instruction as above for my hotmail account but I'm receiving a message "can't connect to server." Could you please help?

Sneze - 2014-07-02

Natalie Couton - 2014-07-01

I am trying to get my email on my new android phone but i am getting an error message saying "coudln't open connection to server". Can you please help me.

Joettawilson - 2014-06-27

Hi to release Facebook

D - 2014-06-27

Hi - I actually didn't choose the "corporate" route. I picked "email" and was able to synch to my hotmail to the android from there. I agree with others about disbling the 2 step verification security process on your hotmail settings first.

Ernie Hardwick - 2014-06-27

Am stuck at server settings, obviously am not imputing domain\username correctly, any more advice on this point. Getting could not open connection to server message at this point.

SusanW - 2014-06-25

GOD BLESS the person who suggested turning off the two-step verification process! Worked like a dream and I now have both my Hotmail accounts back. LOVE YOU!!!

Jan - 2014-06-24

done all above and it has recognised my email account, however it will not download messages and when I try to sync it says "email sync disabled". how do I enable sync?

Gutbux P. Belani - 2014-06-21

U can email on gurbuxpritam1938@gmail.com how to signout n signin hotmail on my mobile

Gutbux P. Belani - 2014-06-21

Microsoft blocked hotmail due to securities reason. Now they have restored. It states first I signout n then signin. It has started working on my laptop. On my Samsung Galaxy Grand it is stilll not working. Because I can't sign out. please guide me how to signout on my mobile.

Gutbux P. Belani - 2014-06-21

I can't sign out hotmail. What to do?
