    You can follow these steps to setup Hotmail using Exchange ActiveSync on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch:

    1.Launch the Settings App. Under Settings, tap on “Mail, Contacts, Calendar”.

    2.Then tap on “Add Account”.

    3.Tap on “Microsoft Exchange” to configure Hotmail ActiveSync.

    4.Enter your full Hotmail email address in both Email and Username fields. Leave Domain blank. Enter your password. In the Description field, enter a name, e.g Hotmail.

    5.Then tap on the Next button.

    6.After the details entered above are successfully verified. You will get another screen where you need to enter m.hotmail.com for the Server name. Then tap on the Next button.

    7.If the verification is successful, you will see this screen. Select the data (Mail, Contacts, Calendar) to sync and then tap on Save.

    That’s it, you’re all set for push email, calendar and contacts for your Hotmail account.
