Hotmail erratic

We are using the  built in mail app to run hotmail, and before everyone tells me to switch to some other email service, or forward messages, or use a different app from the the one that comes with the phone, we actually LIKE the built in app.  the problem is that it worked absolutely perfectly for 30 days...on day 31 it failed and of source Verizon said tough luck--can't return the phone after 30 days even if one of the primary features failed, and has been erratic ever sense--countless problems.  OK, so we tried a couple other apps, including the "official'"  app from MSFT, but still prefer the original.

 

Anyone else having similar problems, and if yes, were you or VZ able to resolve them??

does gmail work on your phone? than the mail feature works. Not really a vzw issue at that point

 

you can try k-9 mail or see if hotmail has an app like yahoo does.. a lot of these pop email servers are having problems with push mail these days

Every other email service works just fine--gmail, aol, and yahoo.  My wife really dislikes the K-9 interface, so no luck there !!  Today hotmail is more or less working, but only after it completely wiped out everything it had on the phone--all the messages, saved messages, addresses, etc, etc...guess it felt like it wanted a clean slate--we'll see soon enough if it is just a fluke or somehow it healed itself by committing suicide
