Hi All,

I too am a long time Hotmail user (I have two accounts) and while I was originally going to link both to my Gmail and use IMAP to sync everything to my N900, I discovered that Microsoft actually added full support for Mail for Exchange (MfE) ActiveSync to Hotmail last year.

I used the instructions on this thread to set it up - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ail+ActiveSync

I now have my main Hotmail account (contacts and email) automatically synced to my N900 every 30mins. The first time it synced I didn't encounter a problem with loads of unread messages, and now it automatically marks messages as read if I have already gone through them on a computer and vice versa for mail I read on the N900 first.

It has worked flawless for me for a while now, although I have heard some people have encountered some problems. One issue I do have is that the N900 only allows one MfE account, so I am using the Nokia Messaging service to get push email from my secondary Hotmail account. Although I had some reservations, it works well enough and I can't complain.

Hope this is of some help to everyone and let me know if you need any more info!
