How to add an Outlook.com email address to your BlackBerry

Thank you BlackBerry NOC.

Done on my Bold. Not working so far on my PlayBook. Still not sure if I'll replace my Google Apps account with Outlook, but I managed to grab a good handle just in case.

I read on Engadget that they will be adding Skype integration into Outlook.com. I wonder if this maybe the first possible way to actually get Skype on the Playbook. I am crossing my fingers on that.

Does this sync calendar and contacts also?

done..
slowly moving my "contacts" to Outlook.com email address
will keep the hotmail.com address for junk mail /contest signups..

I think I'll start moving away from gmail now. I'm getting more and more frustrated with google services.

I'm probably one of the last few still using a Hotmail email as my primary, but this is perfect for me. I just created and alias with my first.last@outlook.com to look more professional on resumes and other docs. And it nothing new to setup on my BlackBerry devices!

thats funny... I was actually just over there grabbing a bunch of good handles. Tried to get BlackBerry@outlook.com but that wasn't available. I did get BlackBerry10@outlook.com though. Might look cool to use sometime.

Ironically I signed up for a hotmail email last night before this change.

I've just upgraded the hotmail account to this UI and love it!

Will now just have to move over my contacts and calendar from google, since I use skydrive and messenger. Plus hotmail allows EAS. Just hopefully that function still works.

Anybody know what the POP3 settings are for outlook.com? POP & SMTP servers? Never mind, I tried a few things and got it to work (Test at least, in Outlook 2010.)

What is funny is they didn't use a BlackBerry in the photo for an article titled "How to add an Outlook.com email address to your BlackBerry"

RIM should put a little BlackBerry on their browser....

Worked like a charm! Thanks!!!

Bam! Done....Thank you crackberry =)

It's not quite finished, if you scroll to the top for the dropdown menus, mail and people are the next style metro apps while skydrive and calender are still the old school ones - I guess they will complete the update in the next few days?

Outlook.com won't open on PB's stock browser so getting skype on PB's browser isn't happening?

Don't mess with raptors.

This new outlook email just messed my account. I lost my hotmail account because it changed my email address. now i need to mail my contacts that my email has been changed.

As someone said, this may be just the perfect way to get skype video chats on the Playbook ;)

PS: Hotmail is still the world's most used email....surpassing Gmail and Yahoo mail in users. It may not be as big as it once was, but it's no Geocities :)

Thanks I finally got a decent addresss name.

Hotmail got to be straight up garbage. They've been hacked so much it's not funny. I've never seen as much spam coming out of anything except for Yahoo.

Outlook.com does not support Blackberry!!!??? (as most of the webmails lately)

Does not open on Playbook browser!!! WTF???

new interface looks great on the mail page, but click on calendar and it links back to the hotmail calendar, which sucks....

Yeah, I can't get it to open in the PB browser either

As others have mentioned it doesn't works in the pb browser... This means that for practical purposes I have lost access to that account in my tablet since I wouldn't like to add it to the messages app unless it is possible to add the mail account but not the contacts (which would create an unholy mess in my now pristine contact list). Is it possible to use the pb messages app for mail and have contacts not synched?

Anyone know if this two way syncs?? I got a Bold 9700 and and will switch gladly if it does.

Yes! I just signed up for a new Microsoft account. I used to use hotmail but migrated to Yahoo and then Gmail. This new update to Outlook is making me give it another look, just synced all my accounts and files to the new Outlook, very exciting!

Outlook.com has been built fresh from the ground up, not unlike BlackBerry 10. It is not a rebrand & relaunch of hotmail. In fact, Microsoft is trying hard to distance this service from that name since its notorious for annoying ads all around the inbox. Just read this in multiple places.

For PB configuration...try bay-m.hotmail.com as serveur adress

From Playbook 64gb

Calendar sync works on the PlayBook but not on my BlackBerry 9930. I need to the calendar to sync before I can make the switch completely.

Set up on my bold, it send emails with no problem but it is not receiving any emails!
Any ideas?

When I set up the account on my BB it gave me the option to sync contacts but did not give me a tick box to sync calendar .. am I missing something?

Is there a reason why I can't delete emails on my BB and it reflect on the outlook server?

I added outlook mail success. But mail is delayed on my BB.

For me it is not working correctly in desktop version of Outlook. When I read an email on desktop version of outlook, the email looks read on web version BUT not read on BB. Very, very annoying.
