Not getting instant email notifications

[RUDY850]

Hello.Just got my htc the other day.My first smart phone.
I'm only getting the notification when I open my in box or do a refresh while in the in box .
I do have it set to notify me.Im using hotmail if that matters.

Thanks.

Are you using the native mail app? I am and get push. I set up as an Exchange account. Try these settings. (I don't use Hotmail so can't advise on exact settings for you.) Then in settings you'll have options for push.

Let us know so others will know.

Hotmail/Live Mail setup as ExchangeActiveSync works w/stock Email App (edit:7-1-13) - xda-developers

Thanks for the link.I will give it a try later on. All this stuff is new to me and its making my head hurt. lol.yes I was using the native app.
I was able to get a Gmail account working while in sleep mod and the hot mail as a back up but I still have to refresh it every time to see if I have any mail.
