I'm trying to add my hotmail email account to my 8310 curve, but it won't let me. Has anybody had this problem?

Sure. Search and you'll see. Short answer is newer free accounts won't work (though apparently you can access from browser); and some older as well as paid accounts can be setup in BIS.

Check out http://blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Main_Page but be aware it is still undergoing recovery after a crash a few days ago. And also see http://home.comcast.net/~tamsterra/index.html. Much good information at those pages.

Microsoft is greedy and wants more money, I guess.

I'm having the same issue. I am actually able to send emails from my curve using my hotmail account, and have received one email... but nothing more.

Pre-2000 account have free push
Other need the <premium> or whatever which cost an annual fee

If you do qualify for push or pay for it, you have to check the options for it when under the advanced hotmail page in the option tab.

My account was activated Jul/2001 and I have it set up with my bis no problems. I'm not paying any fees and I'm not signed up for any premium package.

the cutoff is somewhere between 5 and 6 years ago for setup when they had POP3 access.

I have had my msn mail mail on my blackberry for year, and lost it this weekend. I can't find the hotmail plus sign up, does anyone know where to access it?

I have just given up using Hotmail (I have deleted my account completely) because I couldn't add my hotmail account to my BlackBerry. I switched to Yahoo with messenger and everything. It's not too easy having to notify all my contacts of this move, but I want to get all my emails on the BB.

Search and install " Jivetalk" it automatically imports all your friends. It costs $20.00 though. Lots of good word about Jivetalk.

Open a gmail account, its free.

3. Press Tools
4. Click Options
5. Select the Advanced tab
