Hotmail on your Windows Mobile Phone

For the past several years it has not been possible to get your Windows Live Hotmail, and Contacts on your Windows Mobile 5/6 Phone.... unless of course you were a Microsoft Employee in which case you just downloaded the bits and installed them (or you are a TMobile subscriber).

My wife, sister and father all have Windows Mobile phones, so I have been waiting for the day I could get them all set up.

Well, as of today, this problem has been fixed. Kudos to the folks on the Mobile team that made this happen.

The download has support for:

  • Hotmail "push" access (your mail is "pushed" to your phone, you don't have to go get it)
  • Windows Live Contacts synchronization
  • Live Search bar for the home screen
  • One-click photo upload to Windows Live Spaces

You also get access to all your folders in your Hotmail account.

Any chance of getting IMAP for live mail?

I really would like to be able to get to my live mail in Linux without some hacky httpmail to pop thingee.
