Q: How could I view HTML mail ? Top
A: When receiving a HTML mail the program removes all HTML formatting and tags leaving meaningful contents only. In case that you wish to view the original  HTML body there is an attachment called htmlbody.htm created within the message. Tapping it launches Pocket Internet Explorer that shows that mail's original contents.

Q: Are MSN email accounts supported in Pocket Hotmail ? Top
A:  Yes, MSN accounts are supported. Do not forget to specify MSN in domain field while setting up the service. 

Q: What are settings for Incoming and Outgoing servers ? Top
A: Just fill in "hotmail" (without quotes) in both fields.

Q: What should I write in Domain field ? Top
A:   If you use MSN account write MSN, otherwise keep this field blank.

Q: How do I receive attachments ? Top

A:   It’s a bit tricky to receive an attachments due to Hotmail protocol limitations (there is no way to determine if attachment even exists until full message is received), so try this:

  • 1. Set "Get Headers only" and turn off "Include xx kb"
  • 2. After headers were received mark some of them for download and re-sync
  • 3. Now attachments should be received. If the are not, but you see a gray down arrow near attachment name in message tap on it (arrow turns green) and re-sync
