Use Hotmail as a Exchange Account on your iPhone

Hotmail or Windows Live do support ActiveSync for Mobile Devices like Windows Phone 7, iOS, Blackberry and so on. But it does not support Desktop Clients like Mac OS X Mail, iCal and Apple Address Book. For Windows Computers with Outlook I recommend using Microsoft Office Outlook Hotmail Connector.

So if you wanna setup your Hotmail account as an Exchange account instead of a POP3 account on your iPhone, thats how you do it.

Open Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars and tab on “Add Account…”
Now you get a menu for adding accounts, here tab on Microsoft Exchange
Now add your Email address and account name (your account name is the same as your email address
Tab on next, you will get again the menu with the account data. Now add the Server m.hotmail.com
Now you can Sync Mail, Contacts and Calendars from your Hotmail Account with your iPhone

Good news for GForge users. GForge gets mobile support for iPhone and iPad. This was something I missed for a long time. This will make working with GForge even better.

We are currently developing a client GForge Application for one of the most popular mobile devices platforms, iPhone and iPad. GForge mobile application will have the following features:

User management

Fast communication and information sharing are the keystones of GForge tools. Today’s mobile devices and smart phones provide a new way to take these two features to a higher level, allowing people to stay in touch even while they are on the road or away from a regular computer.
