It appears that your hotmail account has to be set up as "exchange", rather than standard imap/pop in order to get mail push. K-9 does support exchange as a setup option, but I don't know how K-9 handles hotmail on the default setup, so you should check. You may need to do a manual setup for your hotmail account(s). There are no "K-9 servers". Your mail account credentials are stored in the K-9 client on your mobile device, and the K-9 client interacts directly with your configured mail provider's servers. Make certain that you use appropriate locking/device encryption. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
