coordinating my iPad2 with MSN email

[DoreneM]

Does anyone know the server setting for MSN email on an iPad2?
I work on the iPad, but when I go to my PC, I have to delete the same messages all over again. So deja vu. Yuck! No help from Apple nor MSN, either.

MSN and Hotmail are the same, yes?

Here is how to set up your iPad for Hotmail, as an Exchange account. Do the same on your computer (as close as possible) and it should end your problem.

If Hotmail has an IMAP setup (I don't know) you could set up both the computer and iPad that way with similar results.

when i did mine, long time ago...simplified(same thing as link from other poster)

On your iPhone, go to Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Add Account->Microsoft Exchange
Fill the 4 required fields as follows:

Email: your Hotmail address, for example your.name@hotmail.com
Domain: [ Leave this blank ]
Username: your Hotmail address again
Password: your password for this Hotmail account

Tap "Next"

A new field called "Server" appears. Fill it as follows:
Server: m.hotmail.com
Tap "Next"

Select the Hotmail services you wish to sync ( Mail, Calendar, Contacts )
Tap "Done"
