How to Setup Hotmail on iDevice

Microsoft today rolled out Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), which lets users get push notifications on phones and other mobile devices, as part of the Wave 4 release of Windows Live Hotmail. Some users reported EAS working for them two months ago, but only now has Microsoft made it official: e-mail, calendar, and contacts can be pushed automatically to your phone from Hotmail. To enable EAS, use the following settings:

Field Setting
Server/URL m.hotmail.com
Username Full e-mail address (such as: yourname@hotmail.com)
Domain Leave this blank
SSL Enable this
Certificate Accept the SSL certificate when prompted
Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks All can be enabled

Many phones already support ActiveSync for connecting to an Exchange server, but the feature will be particularly useful on phones that support dual ActiveSync accounts, including devices running Microsoft's upcoming Windows Phone 7 OS. Users who don't connect to an Exchange Server, but still have a device with ActiveSync support can also use the new Hotmail feature. Microsoft says over 300 million mobile devices currently support EAS; a full list is available on the Windows Live Solution Center.

Hotmail users have been begging for IMAP and other enhanced syncing capabilities for ages. Microsoft still won't budge on IMAP, but the company did rollout POP3 last year, and now with EAS support this year, it's clear the software giant is finally listening.

Try, Setup Hotmail ActiveSync on iPad device

Microsoft has provided steps for enabling Hotmail ActiveSync on iPad devices.

Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks: All can be enabled.

3. After finishing the configure, select the data to sync and tap on Save button.

How to install your ipa

This will tell you many of the different ways you can install Chaos Rings.ipa or any other ipa on your iDevice.YOU MUST HAVE A JAILBROKEN DEVICE.

1. Through iTunesThe first and most common method used is through iTunes. You must have the following from cydia.a) Installd Patch for firmware 3.0/3.0.1/3.1.1/3.1.2b) miPatch for firmware 2.2/2.2.1This allows cracked ipas from iTunes be synced onto the iDevice. Simply drag the ipa into iTunes and sync it to your iDevice. You should now have that ipa on your springboard!

2. SSHSSH is a little more complicated than simply using iTunes, but I find it to be the most convenient way. You must have the following from cydia.a)OpenSSHOn your computer, you must also have an SFTP/FTP client installed. I Use WinSCP. Download that here.http://winscp.net/eng/download.phpOnce you install it, open it up and it should take you to a screen with the options new, edit, delete, rename, etc.Select new, and enter the following.

a) Host name: Your host name is always your IP address. Open the settings app on your iDevice, then select WiFi, and tap the blue arrow next to your currently connected WiFi. Where it says IP Address is what your host name is going to be. Type that in the host name.

b) Port number: Should usually leave as is.

c) User Name: Your user name is always root. So type in root.

d) Password: The default password is alpine. Unless you have changed it to something else, type in alpine.

e) Private key file: Just leave this blank.You can either save the connection, so you don't have to fill in all the fields again by clicking save..., or you can just login.Once you are connected, you will be in the directory /private/var/root. Depending on what you would like to install it with, you will have to select different folders.I use the Installous folder, to install my ipas. If you do not have Installous 3 or higher, you can download it from a source.To add a source, go into cydia and select the manage tab. Then select sources, Then edit in the top right corner, and then add in the top left corner. A window should pop up with http:// already typed in. Type in,cydia.hackulo.usThen select add anyway. Now go into the search tab and type in Installous. It should now come up and let you install it.Back to SSHing, click the folder with the two dots until you are in /private/var. Then look for the folder mobile and open it. Then select the documents folder. Then select the Installous folder. And then select the downloads folder. You should now be in /private/var/mobile/Documents/Installous/Downloads.Simply drag the ipa there and let it copy it over. Once it is finished, go on your iDevice and open Installous. The ipa should now be in the downloads tab at the bottom. Simply tap the ipa and select install, then it will install your ipa.

I hope it has helped someone :D
