They started giving it away, I would say the iPhone influenced this decision but I'd be burned as a Witch. They should have gone the whole hog and offered IMAP.

Nope, setup on the iPhone is automatic. If you have an iPhone and a Hotmail account you could set it up and have a gander.

Go to hotmail.com and add an autoreply that tells people your great new email address.

Thanks Jack. This isn't really feasible though as I give out loads of leaflets and have thousands left, I'd have to change my website and I don't think it's very professional to have an auto reply with my new email address on.

Have Google stopped offering the import then of external mail to new accounts? Mine is unlimited and always has been. Mine imports 3 hotmail addresses and works fine.

Still not getting all my emails from my Hotmail to my gmail. When I go to gmail, accounts and imports then scroll down to 'Check mail using POP3' it says my Connection Error. Mail from this account has not been retrieved since 07:57. I then click on view details and it says
Connection Error.
Server returned error "Connection refused"

Doing my head in is a massive understatement.

no probs and as you've probably already guessed the smtp address is smtp.live.com, SSL is on and server port is 995.

No, if you own a symbian handset you are considered poor, the only symbian handsets available now are cheap pay and go tat or Nokias whole range, everyone else has moved to android except samsung who think Bada is a brilliant O S when its really sh1te!

Nokia are looking for a new CEO as they have lost direction!
