Skydog, I don't have a Fire, so I can't test anything for you, but I found this information regarding Hotmail and Kindle Fire

I've spent hours trying to get my Kindle Fire working with accounts I have on Gmail and Hotmail. I've discovered two very important things that I thought might help the next person from wasting hours and hours.
1) I initially was setting up my Fire email app using the wi-fi at my office where the company provides free wi-fi. Apparently, they had some settings not quite compatible with setting up the Fire because as soon as I tried the setup on my wi-fi at home - that fixed most all issues I was having. So ... one suggestion is: if you're setting up your email through wi-fi and are having problems, try a different wi-fi location.
2) I discovered that the "standard server settings" shown by most help pages, including Amazon's (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...1992367&sr=1-1) show the wrong security type for Gmail's outbound server. Amazon recommends SSL(always). However, that never worked for me. Finally, I happened on a website that showed the outbound security should be set to TLS(always) and that fixed my problem instantly.
3) My working settings for Hotmail's Inbound Server:
Username = your FULL Hotmail email address, which includes the "@hotmail.com"
Password: XXXXXX (enter your personal password)
POP3 server: pop3.live.om
Security Type: SSL (always)
Authentication Type: PLAIN
Port: 995
4) My working settings for Hotmail's Outbound Server:
SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
Security type: TLS(always)
Port: 587
Require sign-in checked.
Authentication type: AUTOMATIC
Username = your FULL Hotmail email address, which includes the "@hotmail.com"
Password: XXXXXX (enter your personal password)
