How to Check Hotmail Junk mail using the Default Application
For this method to work, you need to first create a Hotmail account which I assume you already have. If you don’t already have a Hotmail account, follow the detailed procedure below to create a Hotmail account on your android phone.
- To create a Hotmail account with your android phone, you need to locate an email app on your phone. Just go to your phone and look for the term “email“. On some phones, it may be written as “mail“.
- Once you locate the email or mail on your phone, open it. This is not Gmail, so you don’t have anything to do with Gmail with this method.
- Once the app is opened, the next thing to do is to check for Outlook.com. Don’t worry, check very well, you will see Outlook there because Hotmail has incorporated Outlook into their services.
- Tap on Outlook.com and open it.
- Once it’s open, you will see a button that contains “selective service”, and the downward arrow beside it. Click on it for more options.
- After you have clicked on it, you will see the option to create a Hotmail account, now add all the necessary details needed to create the account such as the email address you wish to create the account with.
- The next thing to do is to click on the password section of the Hotmail account creation and input a strong password of your choice. I recommend you use a password you can always remember at any given time.
- After you have successfully added your desired password, click on the “sign-in” option there and log in. Note that immediately you clicked on the sign in, you will be logged in. It is true that nobody reads terms and conditions anymore. But I strongly recommend you read the app’s terms of use located below the sign-in option.
- Now, you will see a list of things that are necessary for you to allow so that Hotmail will work better. Click on the “yes” button to allow it. If you’re not comfortable allowing such, go back and read the terms of use of the app. You can also read their privacy and cookies policy.
- After you must have allowed the necessary things required from the mail, you will receive mail from them through which you will get your email address using the Outlook application.
- However, if you choose to use the Outlook application to receive the email, just click on the link that was sent to your email. Make sure to do the syncing as it is important. Using the app for it is also not a bad idea.
