I have an Acer n311, and the only mail i have ever used is two hotmail accounts. I've just downloaded the trial of Flexmail, as i was under the impression it could handle hotmail (Inbox does, but will only let me recieve from one account, which is a right pain).

But i'm getting the old #80C00014 error, and it times out every time. I've tried SSL, no SSL, maximising the timeout time, limiting it to downloading messages from today only, only downloading headers... nothing works.

Can anyone help me either get this one to work (i'm loving the interface) or recommend another program that can handle 2 hotmail accounts? I don't mind spending money on it.

And sorry, this is probably fairly common question. I've searched the forums, and even the big forum post on email clients didn't help me out as it seemed to imply (?) Flexmail could handle hotmail.

Use small words. :P

okay, i've found a temporary solution in the form of Adrian Software's 'HTTPMail Provider' program. I'm pulling one hotmail account in via the standard pocket MSN setup with Inbox, and i'm pulling the other hotmail account is as an http. I never tried this before i got HTTPMail so i presume it's the program allowing me to do this. I had to trick the program though, and put in a domain-based email when it first asks for your email address when you setup the new account. Then it lets you set it up as an http, and you can go back later and change the email address to a hotmail one.
Not ideal though, and i'm hoping Flexmail will have hotmail support in their next release. Especially as it won't uninstall properly from my device! Grrr.
