Thank you for your help Thalamus.

It was all going well until 2 days ago, when the email stopped updating itself on my tablet.

I removed the account to add it again (in hope it'd work), unfortunately following your instructions this time is not working.

Is there another way I can connect to my hotmail ?

Thanks again,

Ruth

Thanks again Thalamus.

I've followed your above instructions and have tried on and off to get this to work since i asked again and it still won't connect. It returns an error message reading 'You've typed an incorrect server address or the server requires a protocol version that Email doesn't support'

It's strange because the account was working fine, then it just stopped and i've not been able to use it since.

I even tried restoring the factory settings to the tablet but that didn't help either.

Do you know of any other way i can get this email to work?

I'm currently using the hotmail app, but that's not ideal...

Any help would be much appreciated

Ruth
