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.

Added (1). oh yeah thanks.

There's i registered mine, i can't remember what i did but i think you select 'other' and then manually type it in

So choices are
add the.outlook.com name (it is already reserved for you - you just have to add it)
and then both work on your hotmail account

or
type in Hotmail.com
and it should recognise it anyway - i.e. Not choosing from predefined names

This apple support help says

Choose outlook.com option BUT…
put your hotmail address in, and it should work

  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Lost password to Hotmail account, though I can access it from my iPhone? Basically I have lost my password. I also have no idea what the answer to the secret question is, or any of the other questions, so I can't reset the password. I can however access the account from my iPhone, but I would like to know what my password is. Is it possible to retrieve the password from my phone? Or perhaps some other way?
