Setting up hotmail account on ipad

Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up a Hotmail account on your iPad:

Prerequisites:

• Make sure you have a Hotmail account (or Outlook.com account, as Hotmail was rebranded as Outlook.com in 2013).
• Ensure your iPad is connected to the internet.
• You have the latest version of the Mail app on your iPad (comes pre-installed).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Open the Mail app: Tap the Mail app icon on your iPad's home screen.
2. Tap "Add Account": Tap the "Add Account" button in the top-right corner of the Mail app.
3. Select "Other": Tap "Other" as the account type.
4. Enter your Hotmail account details: Enter your Hotmail email address and password in the respective fields.
5. Enter your name: Enter your name as you want it to appear in the "From" field of your emails.
6. Choose your account type: Select "IMAP" as the account type. This will allow you to access your Hotmail emails on your iPad.
7. Enter your IMAP settings: Enter the following IMAP settings:
   • Host Name: imap-mail.outlook.com
   • User Name: Your Hotmail email address
   • Password: Your Hotmail password
   • Port: 993
8. Tap "Next": Tap the "Next" button to proceed.
9. Enter your SMTP settings: Enter the following SMTP settings:
   • Host Name: smtp-mail.outlook.com
   • User Name: Your Hotmail email address
   • Password: Your Hotmail password
   • Port: 587
10. Tap "Save": Tap the "Save" button to save your Hotmail account settings.
11. Verify your account: The Mail app will verify your Hotmail account settings. If everything is correct, you'll see a success message.

Tips and Variations:

• If you're having trouble setting up your Hotmail account, try restarting your iPad or checking your internet connection.
• If you're using a Hotmail account that was created before 2013, you might need to use the "POP" account type instead of IMAP.
• You can also set up your Hotmail account on your iPad using the Outlook app, which is available for download from the App Store.

That's it! Your Hotmail account should now be set up on your iPad, and you should be able to access your emails using the Mail app.
