Hotmail, Live, and MSN email accounts now supports CorpSync connection for email accounts.You can get your email, calendar, and contacts pushed automatically to your phone using Exchange ActiveSync (EAS). EAS keeps everything in sync between your phone and Hotmail, so whatever you do on your phone, like delete an email, add an appointment, or update one of your contacts with a new number, will also be reflected on the web, and vice-versa.

From the home screen, touch Apps > My Accounts > Add Account > Corporate Sync
Enter your email address and password.
Enter the following settings:

Field	Setting
Domain	Leave this blank
Password	Enter you password
User name	youremail@hotmail.com, youremail@msn.com, youremail@live.com
Use Secure Connection	Enable
Proxy	Leave Blank
Server	m.hotmail.com

After the account has been validated, go to Settings > Accounts, look for the new account that was just created; it will have the same name of the account that was used to start this setup process.
Select the correct account name; then tap on General Settings and change the account name to the correct name for your Exchange account followed by tapping on OK.
