Hello.
I've never done this before and could use some help. In the E-mail app that is in the phone from teh start you can choose "Microsoft exchange" or "Other".
Should I choose Exchange when setting up a Hotmail account?
I'm not really sure what Exchange is so I just wanted to be sure before I try it.
Thank you in advance.
Choose other for setting up hotmail, I don't even think it is possible to use exchange for setting up a hotmail

Exchange is what is typically used in office enviroments. If you dont have any joy setting up hotmail in the email client, there is an official hotmail app in the google play store.

I used exchange for setting up a hotmail account, but it will not keep incoming mails for long (only for 1-2 days). Maybe some setting is wrong with my set up.

I'm having a problem connecting my phone to the stock email client. Does anyone have an idea on how to get yahoo to connect.

I am 99% certain you need to pay for it by upgrading your yahoo account.

Open email, type in user name and password, click manual setup, click imap, type in imap.mail.yahoo.com, leave port same, click next, type in smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com, click next... that should get you going, it worked for me!

I don't think you have to pay to do IMAP connect - only if you want POP3. For me Yahoo worked even with auto settings. Only thing is, I have not been able to get it to push email. I have to set it to check regularly.
I had it set up before I started using cognition but more it won't let me. It keeps saying wrong user name or password and I know their both right

Yahoo is free for pop3 email but you have to pay for imap (push email) the same reason I gave it up and never suggest yahoo to anyone. Dont believe me check THIS out
I want to use the stock email app. But I am needing to reset the tab every now and then to get the emails to come through. It attempts to connect and nothing happens. If I then do a reset it will work normal again.I am using a hotmail account. Any solutions to this problem?without changing the app or email account. Anyone else have this issue?

Instead of resetting, go to accounts, sync, and click on the hotmail account to re-sync.
I checked this. Doesn't have hotmail listed in there.

i guess you can't do a sync with Hotmail .. yahoo anf Gmail only ..
Just forward your hotmail to a gmail account.
Anyone found an APP that will work with Hotmail with a Captivate? Stock, tablet and even K-9 don't support it. There must be a decent one out there! Thanks!

Stock email app works like a charm with hotmail. I got 2 accounts configured under it and my local provider email also. Never had issues getting hotmail.
If you want to fully managed your hotmail (delete mails on server) then your right default email app on the cappy cannot do it but it can fetch the mail.
EDIT: Tried delete on the server option and it works. Fluke bug probably.
Do a Google search on "Hotmail activesync android" and you should be on your way use stock email to do push Hotmail. server deletion is supported last time I checked.

Correct .. last time i tried it failed miserably.. maybe just a bug or a bad connection.
Haven't tried it personally, but I do use Maildroid for gmail,Yahoo, and my ISP email. All set to push, even free Yahoo.
I used the exchange server for hotmail on my Captivate, worked fine with the stock email. Set it up as exchange, using m.hotmail.com as the server. Your username is your full email address. I don't have a Captivate anymore so I don't know if you need anything else (like port numbers). Google should give you the rest.
Also, if you set it up as exchange you can choose to sync your contacts and calendar with hotmail.

Hey guys, I've set up 3 exchange emails (Gmail, Outlook, Uni email) on the native email app. The problem is when I read an email on the phone it still is marked unread when I check it on the web apps. However, all deleted mail, send and receive syncing is working perfectly fine. only the unread/read syncing! The gmail account was having the same problem but seems to have corrected itself somehow, but I'm still having problems with the other two.
Any ideas?
sorry you don't have any exchange email. exchange mail is different.

sorry I meant that I set up these accounts as "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync" accounts on my phone, rather than POP3 or IMAP accounts.
I have a S3 and a lumia 820. I really like a bit of both. One app I am always dissatisfy on a S3 is the stock email app! Is there any email app like on the windows 8 phone for an android device?
Thanks,
Wayne
For which protocol?
If just imap, you should try kaiten, if you need proper exchange support tty touchdown
