Although Windows Live Hotmail has been replaced by Outlook Mail and accessing your @hotmail.com emails online is done through outlook.live.com, the email server settings and other information below is still accurate when it comes to Hotmail and Exchange.

More Help With Using Hotmail and Exchange
Hotmail and Outlook.com might appear similar when it comes to accessing mail from a web browser but when using Exchange, it’s important to stick to specific settings. Use the above information if you have a @hotmail.com address. If your email address ends with @outlook.com, you need an entirely different set of instructions. If it’s been a while since you last used your Hotmail account or your password is complex, try logging into your account online via outlook.live.com to ensure your account is in good standing and your password is current. There are plenty of apps you can install on your mobile device to access Hotmail using the Exchange ActiveSync settings listed above. Email is one example of a free Exchange-ready email client on the iPhone, and Android users can install the Microsoft Outlook app. You can also set up Windows Live Hotmail on Windows Phone and a Nokia phone.
