Hotmail, now with added Exchange push email

We knew the day would come, and now LiveSide.net reports Exchange Activesync support for Hotmail has finally arrived.

Exchange Activesync allows free push email support using the massive storage web based e-mail accounts, and would also allow multiple other clients to connect to Hotmail with a much better protocol than the POP supported at present.

The change as not been officially announced yet, but if any of our readers want to give it a try they can try the settings below:

email: [email protected]
server address: m.hotmail.com
SSL enabled
username: [email protected]
password: password
Domain: <blank>

Of course with Windows Mobile only supporting one Exchange Account this may be a problem with users who already have Exchange, but of course this is a problem handily fixed by Windows Phone 7.
