Anyone using either of these approaches, or is there a better way?

God knows why anyone would want to use Hotmail but a few people I know use mBoxMail to pick it up and say it's pretty good.

Seriously, get Gmail.

Hotmail is great if you have a windows mobile phone with windows live.

Anyway, why can't you open hotmail on the iPhone browser?

Aint really clunky, this is what i do (from company server to GMail, not Hotmail), took a minute to set up and works fine.

GMail works sweet so use that.

FWIW, I also use gmail on my iphone, and it does work great. I also have an old hotmail account aswell.

But you are right, maybe it's time to just keep it for msn reasons and not email.

I can't believe people still use hotmail when there are services like gmail available for free.

I use iPhone + gmail and it works great.

I can sell you my hotmail account which was created before the premium service came in, which gives free POP3 access.

You'll have to put up with about 7 tonnes of Spam a week (1 email = 0.001g), but you'll be able to get your mails through POP3.

Alternatively, get a gmail account and start using it.
