Title: Problem with hotmail
Post by: deadhead18 on March 27, 2013, 10:27:19 AM

I got my N7 in November and since then have been accessing my hotmail account - until 2 days ago. Now when I try and log-in I get a message saying I can't access the account and to try clearing my cookies. Done that but still no joy. I accessed hotmail on a pc with no problem and changed passwords at their suggestion and they also reset my account. Still can't log in on N7 - still asking me to clear my cookies. Anybody else had similar problems or any ideas?

Why don't you just setup your Hotmail in the native email client on the Nexus 7, it would be much faster than the web interface for Hotmail. Go to Apps click on the Gold "E" select menu-add account-enter your Gmail address and it should setup for you.

What Prime suggested is exactly what I do with my Hotmail account along with my three other email accounts...

I have a hotmail account that I've had girt at least fifteen years. Who knows who has that email! So I use the hotmail spam filter, then forward everything else to gmail as pop3. Then gmail filters the rest of the spam. This way, I get my useful emails from this account still on my gmail.
