Delete hotmail contacts on Iphone?

So basically i just got my first ever Iphone and i linked it to my Hotmail account.

Problem is its decided to import all my hotmail contacts into my phone contacts.

The problem is i don't speak to most of these people anymore and don't want them in my phone contacts. Is there a way to get rid of them all without having to manually do it?

On the iPhone Just go to Setting>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Hotmail
Under that turn off the option for contacts and you should be good to go.

Hope that helps.

Delete them from the Hotmail account through a computer (which probably should have been done if that was the case) or disable syncing contacts from that account which you could do in the Settings where you added the account.

  • Why is my hotmail account blocked? Like once a week my hotmail on my iPhone says 'password incorrect' so when I go on the Internet to log into my hotmail it says someone has tried to access it and send junk mail out I don't understand as I have changed my password like 20 times now and It still happens! Anyone have an idea how this is happening as I have my PayPal connected to this email and I'm worried incase I get robbed or something
  • What happens if i had a Hotmail account? Since hotmail became live.com/outlook.com does this mean that i can no longer use it and switch it over or does that mean it already switched. That was my email for my iphone
  • There's no hotmail option for mail on iPhone? I can't set up my email account on the mail because there's no hotmail option. I tried the outlook option aswell but it says mine can't be verified? Probably because mine is @hotmail not @outlook. oh yeah thanks.
  • Setting up a College-given Hotmail account in Mail or Sparrow for iPhone? I attend a school where the email given is hotmail, but the address is not xxxx@hotmail.com. When I try to access my account on Mail or Sparrow on my iPhone, I can't get it to work. It either says that it can't connect, or asks for ingoing/outgoing servers, etc.etc. And then tells me it can't connect. If anyone has any ideas for Mail or Sparrow they would be much appreciated! I will use whichever I can get to work, so please let me know if you have ideas for either app.
