The screenshot were taken with version 2.2 of the iPhone software. Older versions may look slightly different but will also work.

Open the Mail application and tap on Other.

To create a 2nd profile, tap Settings-Mail-Add Account

When entering your Hotmail address, append an extra X at the end. Enter your Hotmail password, then tap [Save].

The extra X helps to override some incorrectly predefined iPhone settings and will force the IMAP/POP selection buttons to appear.

For fast and easy email download, tap POP.
IMAP is possible, but tends to be slow and more complex to handle.

Remove the extra X from the email address.
Tap [return] twice.

Enter the incoming server name sec.izymail.com
Your email address is also your user name.

Enter the outgoing server name sec.izymail.com
Your email address is also your user name.

Tap [Save]. The iPhone will try to verify the settings which may take up to 60 sec.
