Hi!
Create new account again and take note of the info specially when it comes to the email address and the password. There are times that you have to verify your account. and the system will send 1 mail to you to click for you to verify your mail account.

Hello,
This is nothing to do with hotmail..it is your setting..I assume that you made it all necessary inputs thru
-*setting-*mail account-*add an account- * enter hotmail info
and you are done..
Than you make that account -*Active -and go to main menu to click -*Receive mail-(you must have a wi-fi connection too)
your mails should be downloaded into iPhone.Hope you will succeed.
If problem continues send me an email that I can send you the some screen pictures of iphone for this setting.
Regards.

I cannot get e mails from my i phone, it says incorrect username or password. Can you help please
I am sorry to have to say this but only you know your user name and password.

If your mail service can be accessed with a computer using a web page you can confirm whether you have the correct user name and password by logging in.

You could also call you mail service provider and they can assist you. They can do things like reset your password if necessary.

I hope this helps.
