Set up Hotmail on the iPhone via Gmail
Authored by: jebcom on Sep 13, '08 11:38:50AM

Don't worry about forwarding from your Hotmail account; that's not what this article is describing. I don't know why it says that your Hotmail account needs to support forwarding.

This article describes how to make Gmail retrieve (via POP3) your messages from Hotmail. If you pay ($20 or so per year) for Hotmail Plus (or whatever it's called) then your Hotmail account should have this capability.

I set it up and it seems to be working well. But in iPhone, I just set it up as a Gmail account.

Try these settings for configuring Hotmail retrieval:
POP Server: pop3.live.com
Use SSL: yes
Port: 995

A new native iPhone app just came out last week called mBoxMail that let's you get your Hotmail right on your iPhone without having to mess with forwarding or paying for hotmail plus.
