Why no android Hotmail app?

[snipper]

Am I missing it, or why in the world does Hotmail not have an android app? I have to go to the mobile site which is awkward. I do have the app where you get email notifications and such, but you'd still have to go to the hotmail site to manage your emails there anyway. Anybody know when hotmail is planning on coming out with one?

Hot Mail has always been an issue, but to the best of my knowledge it gmail is now able to work with hot mail. Have you looked in the settings of your gmail lately? On the Accounts and Import tab it specifies Hot Mail: Import from Yahoo!, Hotmail, AOL, or other webmail or POP3 accounts.

If you've tried it before and haven't tried lately, give it a try.

btw, if you have gmail check your hotmail account, you can send hotmail through gmail as your hotmail account now.

Ok, I imported my hotmail acct to google. But, this still doesn't solve that when I delete the messages from gmail, they are not deleted from my hotmail. Any suggestions for that?

stop using hotmail?

seriously. you're in the cloud now. start transferring your accounts. as you send emails out through gmail, people will slowly begin to pick up, and if you get an email through hotmail, you'll still get it, and then you can respond with gmail.

i know it seems like a hassle, but you're using a google device. things are much simpler if you just accept. give in to your feelings... feel the.... wait, nevermind.

google is good, mmkay?

Ask Microsoft. Apps don't just create themselves.

Don't forget that there are mail apps that support Hotmail. On top of that Hotmail supports ActiveSync now. I'll leave finding the details up to you as they should be easily discovered with a Google search.

seriously. you're in the cloud now. start transferring your accounts.

That statement makes no sense. Not all of us rely solely on gmail. The account I primarily use is an Exchange account, for example. The cloud and non-gmail accounts aren't mutually exclusive.

your statement regarding hotmail and activesync makes less sense with Android than my statement with allowing gmail to check your accounts.

android has exchange support built-in. OP's questions was regarding a Hotmail app, not Exchange integration.

Hotmail works as an exchange account. You can manage the folders of hotmail (including being able to delete the trash) from built into android exchange support. Google the directions.

Problem solved.
