My iPhone stopped getting hotmail messages?

I've been using hotmail on my iphone4s for over a year with no problem. Yesterday I started getting the msg "can't get mail, connection to the server failed". I can still access emails fine on my laptop. I tried deleting and re-adding my account on the phone. If I re-add the account as "other" instead of "hotmail" I can see my emails but none of the changes made on my laptop are being pushed to my phone.

The mail service may have been dropped on the iPhone mail app. Check the appstore for an app specifically for Hotmail. This happened to me with my my mail.com account, but I downloaded another app which fixed the problem. The reason for this is because it costs money to host servers and if apple feels the number of users for hotmail doesn't justify the price they pay, they drop support

  • Why won't Hotmail let me log on? I recently did an exam and my tutor is sending me my results today. I tried logging on to Hotmail and it says 'Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Outlook at the moment.' I logged on with my old email account and it works. So why's it not letting me go on my proper email address? I've had no problem like this before. It doesn't let me log on with my Windows 8 Mail app or iPhone either.
  • 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
  • What do I do if my iPhone is lagging and getting like stopped while I'm typing? I have an iPhone 5c and it gets like slow and lags and whole I'm typing sometimes it just gets stuck, any solutions?
