EDIT: Turns out MFE can't be used with hotmail because MFE is for Activesync servers only and hotmail does not provide this support.

Could someone please please help me out. I got the N900 hoping I would not have to get a blackberry. But I am having problems with Nokia Messaging pushing emails to my device. Sometimes it happens but several times I have to do send and receive which is far far from ideal.

I want to try out MFE since Nokia Messaging is not pushing properly. But I have no idea how to set up my hotmail for MFE. When I go to MFE on the N900 it asks me a few questions I have no idea how to find the answer to:

- Domain (not sure if this has to be put in cause if I leave this blank it still lets me go on to next page in setup);

- Server

- Port (device automatically puts in 443 so I assume this is correct)

- Don't know if there would be anymore questions. Can't get past this page in the setup because I don't know the server.

I tried to go to this link hoping there would be an easy way with the settings I need sent to the device but it doesn't have N900 on the list of suppported phones.

Could someone kindly talk me through setting up hotmail for MFE. Thanks.

MfE is for Microsoft Exchange. I'm 99% certain that doesn't include Hotmail.

Not aware that Hotmail supports Activesync, therefor will not work with M4E (mail for exchange)

Hotmail is not Mail4Exchange; you will want to use Nokia Messaging, or manually input the POP/IMAP settings into your device's email application.

it would be great, that I can check folder that I need for automatic syncing (push). So checking only inbox will sync it automatically but when i go to another folder it only then will sync that.

ps. is meeting request accepting coming also with new version?

Has anyone in the USA been able to connect this device and MfE to their exchange server with success, and if so, what did you have to do to get there?

I am specifically referring to corporate exchange server, not google, etc.

I did. Just pulled up the MfE settings, put my username, password, domain, and the url for the server and [boom] it worked. I have email, contacts, and calendar with no problems.

Yes.

...what did you have to do to get there?
I didn't know if my employer even had Mail for Exchange support enabled, so as a shot in the dark, I went through the MfE wizard on my N900 filling in the server and login information I use for Outlook for the Web. It just worked.
