    My gmail works just fine. :)

    But not my live mail... :mad:

    I've done some research, and was only able to find 2 apps that can sync with hotmail, and both apps have very mixed reviews.

    Is there really no easy, reliable, way to check hotmail on an iPhone?

    yes, this actually works EXTREMELY well for me:

    1. Go to Safari

    2. In the URL Addres bar, type in 'hotmail.com'

    3. Log in with your acccount and password.

    4. Click the "+" button on the bottom blue bar, and add to the homescreen as 'Hotmail'

    5. You may have to log in and out accordingly.

    As simple as it needs to be.

    I'm not trying to be an ass, but this is the best cheapest,easiest, safest, way.

    I think he was talking about it being buggy or something, he didn't really clarify what his problem with hotmail was...

    I have mine synced with the stock Mail app and it works fine, the only annoying thing is that the messages I delete through Mail don't sync, so when I check it on my Mac they're still there.

    As for Hotmail apps, there really aren't any good ones. I've tried mailPro & mBoxMail, but neither are very impressive; both take quite awhile to load [that may be just my sh*tty WiFi though]

    This is what I've been doing, but I would really prefer to use an app so I can read emails offline on my iPod.

    Exactly. This is my other problem.

    I can deal with a little slowness. Is their speed the biggest problem?

    That's because kick-ass hotmail doesn't support IMAP.
