If you are looking for a tutorial on how to synchronize your Hotmail account in (Outlook too), we are going to explain the steps to take so that you can have your emails, contacts and even calendar on your mobile device.
Nowadays, getting hold of your emails is usually a daily task for many, either for work or as a hobby because we are subscribed to various channels or websites. Also in many cases we have a large number of contacts and even dates on the calendar in our Hotmail/Outlook account that we would like to have synchronized on our mobile phone or Android device.
Let's go there, we are going to teach you in a simple way how to sync Hotmail contacts on Android among others.
Set up Hotmail or Outlook on Android (2023 edition)
It is not a complicated task, in fact it is much simpler than in the past, since before it was somewhat cumbersome to configure a Microsoft email account and that for some time (thank God) it is already quite simple, because all the devices With EAS (Exchange Active Sync) support, you can seamlessly synchronize emails, contacts and calendar with support for push notifications. Android devices support EAS, so we can use our old Hotmail account or 'new' Outlook.
The best of all is that to synchronize a Hotmail / Outlook account on Android we will not need an extra application, so that it will be possible to do it directly in the mail client that comes by default in Android.
- Select Email Client on the device.
- Press Menu and select "Add account".
- Enter a Hotmail or Outlook address
- Enter password
- Select Manual setup
- Select Exchange when asked: What type of account is this?
- Domain / Username, please type the full Hotmail or Outlook address again. Note: If the device only says “Domain”, it is left blank. If the device says "Username", enter the full Hotmail or Outlook email address.
- Enter the password.
- Server name: enter m.hotmail.com as the server name. (Please note: this field is sometimes filled in automatically, so you have to delete it.)
- Make sure the Use secure connection (SSL) box is checked. It must be.
- Select Next.
- Choose the desired options for the account inbox in relation to email check frequency, number of days to sync, send default email, notifications sync, and contacts / calendar for your account. Select Next.
- Depending on the device, you may be asked for the account name (You can name it however you like).
- Select Next… And that's it!

Very good data, thank you !!
Excellent response, for 2 weeks I had been assisted by the technicians within Outlook itself, there had been up to 3 advisors and nothing... the last one told me that the problem was not with Outlook, but with Android, I left their "assistance" and in I found you in 5 minutes, the problem is that the account must be configured with the native Android application and not with Outlook... I also shared this information with Outlook advisors so that they do not waste their users' time and so that the application developers make changes to the installer…
Thank you very much
A pleasure that Jose has helped you.
Greetings and thanks for leaving the comment
It didn't bring me the contacts that I have in hotmail, I can't get them to appear on my cell phone.

Cool. Many thanks
Thank you for visiting us Raquel. A pleasure.
Hello, the same thing happens to me, I can't get the calendar to synchronize with the hotmail account, the mail does, but only by creating a google account with the hotmail address. Exchange always gives me an error. I put:
m.hotmail.com server
443 port
Hello, I don't know where the server name data comes from.
So I am left halfway.
Thank you.
Good Gerardo, if the name of the server does not come out to fill in, either you have not chosen the correct option or it is also possible that it is already filled with that option I will come out. Take a good look, because in the small details is where we ruin these things.
Kind regards and thank you very much for commenting
After doing what the article said, I went to outook on the cell and added a new contact ... then the cell asked if I gave outlook permission to add (access the cell contacts) I said yes. the new contact was saved and the hotmail contacts were downloaded to the cell right there ...
I hope it is useful to you,
regards
Hi, I have phones in exchange and I can't get them back. Also don't retrieve all of hotmail
