Sync a Hotmail Account on an iPad

You can add your Hotmail account to your iPad so that you can easily check your messages using the Mail app. Microsoft has changed Hotmail into Outlook.com, so the option for adding your account to your iPad has changed names. The process still works exactly the same for Hotmail accounts.

Steps

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars".
  3. Tap "Add Account...".
  4. Select "Outlook.com" from the list of options. This is the new name for Microsoft's mail service, and it supports older Hotmail accounts.
  5. Enter your Hotmail address into the "Email" field. Enter your Hotmail password into the "Password" field. Give the account a description if you have a lot of accounts to choose from.
    • Since the form has changed to an Outlook.com form, the default description will be "Outlook". You can change this to "Hotmail" if you'd like.
  6. Select what you would like to sync. Besides syncing your mail, you can also sync your Hotmail contacts, calendars, and reminders.
  7. Tap "Save". This will add the account to your iPad.
  8. Tap your newly-added Hotmail account. This will allow you to change how many days of mail you want to sync with your iPad. By default, all the mail you've received in the last week will be synced to your iPad.
  9. Open the Mail app. Your Mail app allows you to check the mail of all your connected accounts.
  10. Tap the "Back" button in the upper-left corner until you return to the Mailboxes menu. This is the list of all of your connected accounts.
  11. Tap your newly-added Hotmail account. This will allow you to read your Hotmail messages.
