Configuring a Hotmail Account in iOS 7 on an iPhone 5
The steps below were performed in iOS 7 on an iPhone 5. You will notice that we are going to be selecting the Outlook option when we are setting up our Hotmail account. This is because all of the email accounts hosted by Microsoft are set up the same way on the iPhone, and Outlook.com email addresses are their new flagship email product.
Step 1: Open the Settings menu.
Step 2: Scroll down and select the Mail, Contacts, Calendars option.
Step 3: Touch the Add Account button. If you have not set up any other email accounts on your iPhone yet, then you can skip this step.
Step 4: Select the Outlook.com option. Don’t worry, we are still setting up a Hotmail account. You just need to select this option to do so.
Step 5: Type your Hotmail address and password into their respective fields. The Description field will automatically populate itself. Touch the Next button when you are finished. As the account is verified, you will see green check marks to the left of each field.
Step 6: Select which information from your Hotmail account you want to sync with your iPhone, then touch the Save button at the top-right of the screen.
