How do you sync windows live (or outlook 2003 for that matter) with the iphone 3G? iphone doesn't appear in the search results when searched on the MS site.

Hello Migle88,


Synchronizing your account through a mobile device, such as your iPhone, requires POP3 connection. Hotmail's POP3 service is only offered to Windows Live Hotmail Plus subscriber.

In order for me to verify if your account supports being synchronized through a mobile phone, I need to check it first. Please reply to this post with your e-mail account.


Thanks!

I also have a Windows Live Hotmail account and would like to sync my contacts and calendar.  Is this possible?

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for your response. I do have an Plus account, and I was finally able to sync my calendar and contacts. The problem was a glitch in the outlook 2003 installation. Thanks for getting back to me.

@ juliep,

If you are also referring to synchronizing your contacts and calendar in your mobile device, I suggest that you contact the Microsoft Mobile Team.  They are experts in handling this type of concern.  You can reach them by visiting the link below:

@ migle88,

I'm glad to know that your issue is already resolved.  Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you have other concerns.  Thanks and have a nice day.

I seem to have a different problem than others, most of the posts I've read people have problems with their Windows Live Hotmail Plus username and password.  My problem is that when I try to sync my iPhone 3G 'Mail' program to my Hotmail Plus account... I get an error message saying that I don't even have a Live Hotmail Plus account, when I do in fact have one.

Hello Windows Live team,

Hotmail is now available as a free POP 3 account which is great. Any plans to go forward to make the calendar and the contacts wireless available for the iPhone 3G. I really like the functionality of the outlook connector. Same functionality for the iPhone would be fantastic.

I've spent 2 days to find the answer but you will be pleased to hear that there is an easy solution:

Download and install Calgoo Connect. It allows you to sync various calendars (including Outlook, iPhone, Windows Live Calendar via Outlook and Outlook Connector, Google etc), 2 or more source calendars are no problem at all. Once you set up a 'Connector' just double click the Connector in order to add more source calendars (green button) for sync. It's all going via Google Calendar and best is that iPhone Calendar will be synced for free with it over the air! If you log into Google's account you have the guide for syncing over the air in the top right hand corner of Google Calendar... Amazing! Thank you Google and thank you Calgoo Connect!

Hope this helps - any other problems (e.g. if you have problems syncing with your Outlook Cal to be synced if running Windows Vista) - please let me know

I'm sorry; I tried but I'm unable to recover your missing messages.

I would like to have access to my msn account via my iphone. Please advise on what steps need to be followed to allow this to happen.

thanks

I recently purchased a 3GS iphone.  They set up access to my hotmail account, but now it does not update.  The message I get is "The connection to the server "pop3.live.com" failed."

what have I done wrong, please?
