Windows Live Email Down on iPhone

**xMatter** · 01-09-2013, 03:27 PM

As of yesterday around 4pm EST I have not been receiving email from my LIVE email account? Is anyone else having this issue? I have deleted the account from my device and re added it, no luck. I am getting my emails through a PC/web interface, so it has something to do with my iPhone.

My Outlook mail account is and has been receiving timely email messages.

Outlook and hotmail have had sporadic outages the past couple of days.

good to know karen. when i set up a "Hotmail" account, it gives the icon of Exchange and uses "Exchange" in the title area as well. When i setup an "Exchange" account, it uses "Hotmail" icon and title. weird, but i don't thinks its related to MS email services being down. it was just an observation.

The server setting says "bay-m.hotmail.com" and SSL is on
