A few weeks ago Microsoft changed Hotmail so as you can only use the service
with cookies, so as Messagesuite <v1.52 doesn't support them, you can't
access Hotmail on a S5 anymore.

Hi!

Since Hotmail uses cookies, you can´t use the browser anymore.

But, much better: you can access hotmail now with pop!
So directly into the e-mail program on your S5.

Greetings,
Frank

How do you check your Hotmail with POP? Are you sure about this?

Yes, this has been available for a while now, but you have to give details about your
real account, including your username/password! Sod that :)

Also you obviously now need a browser with cookies to get into Hotmail and set it up.

In my e-mail program I make a new account with pop3 adres pop.hotmail.com

This seems to work fine with me, although I don´t know about the smtp name.

I didn´t give any details to hotmail to use this, it just works for me :))
