My outlook email was hacked on Saturday 22nd June and I contacted TechSupport Global in the Phillipines to recover my hotmail which they did. But I was unable to install hotmail on my iphone 4s, it's response was. 'unable to verify password'. Then I was told to download Microsoft Hotmail app and login with account name and password and it still rejected user name & password. We tried 3 different ways to create Hotmail account on my iphone and simply to no avail. I was told it was an issue with my iphone, so I visited the Chadstone Apple store today and was told there was nothinng wrong with my Iphone and the problem existed with the settings placed on my phone through Microsoft. I contacted Microsoft Australia and explained my problem and the soloution was half rectified. The verification code was lifted and reset my password. I can login into my hotmail account on my laptop and my iphone, only, manually. Can somebody assist me to set up my hotmail account on my Iphone 4s? Is it possible that TechSupport Global in the Phillipines have created security codes that has disabled my hotmail account to be set on my Iphone? I was charged quite a hefty fee to find the solution and reset my account which I have been using since 1995. It"d be a shame to lose this account with Microsoft through some kind of incompetence. I can also be contacted via email on (Removed by Moderator)

Since my hotmail email account has been "upgraded" to Outlook.com I have experienced painfully slow responses from the interface and am now unable to attach even the smallest of documents (compressed) to emails. The service is unacceptabe to most ex users of Hotmail forced to use Outlook.com after the changeover. Microsoft please do something to improve this situation now.
NOTE: Original thread's title: "Outlook.com vs Hotmail.com"

Original Title: HOTMAIL PROBLEM ON MOBILE PHONE - URGENT
I have recently bought a new laptop with Windows 8. Due to tech problems, Microsoft technician kindly ' took over' my laptop and sorted out the setting for me whilst I was online. They explained to me that I needed a Microsoft acct which was set up as <removed by moderator> to enable windows 8 to run. They also advised me that Hotmail had changed to outlook and they set up an outlook account for me <removed by moderator> (although I cannot recall what password was set up on that, I thought they said it would be the same one as my Hotmail acct ??? However I can still receive my Hotmail emails on my laptop and I receive the odd email to my <removed by moderator> and this is where I can see my <removed by moderator> emails (very few of these received). My main problem at the moment is that I rely heavily on my mobile phone advising me when I have new emails for my gmail acct <removed by moderator> and my hotmail account <removed by moderator> All was ok until I went onto windows 8 and I was given this new outlook email address to replace Hotmail - I know find that I have a constant notification message on my mobile phone <removed by moderator> saying - Account Shirley Philipps requires re-login. When I click on this to perform the task I am shown a sign in window asking for my Microsoft acct and password. I have tried inputting my <removed by moderator> and the password (it doesn't like that) I have tried <removed by moderator> and guessed at all the passwords I have ever had and it doesn't like that and then tells me to sign in using my <removed by modereator> acct. When I do this it tells me that there is a mismatch with the name and password and to try again. One thing is for certain I DO KNOW MY HOTMAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD. Please do your best to try and sort this out for me as I am now getting to the end of my tether with it. My home telephone number is <removed by moderator> (my mobile signal where I live is virtually non existent when it comes to voice calls). Also please note that I do not always get alerted to my Hotmail / outlook emails anymore on my mobile phone although I have not changed any of the settings on my phone.
Many thanks,
Shirley Philipps
