OS X :: Possible To Add Hotmail Accounts To Mail Program
Apr 17, 2009
My wife and I just gave up our PCs for Macs after a whole lot of frustration and are loving the Macs. I have a couple questions regarding mail. We both use hotmail and I are unable to change our e-mail addresses. Is it possible to add our hotmail accounts to the mail program that came installed on the Mac? If not, are there any programs that we can download that will allow us to access our mail accounts more quickly than logging into hotmail?
I would like to use hotmail on my Mac Mail program. I was able to download my messages and send them BUT: - My Hotmail have few folders on the InBox and I can't see it on Mac Mail. - Once I read a Hotmail email message on Mac Mail it does not update on my Hotmail (server) account displaying that it has been read. - When I delete a Hotmail message on my Mac Mail it does not update on my Hotmail (server) account. It seems that on Mac Mail, I am only able to download messages and send them without syncing between my computer and their server.
This may be purely coincidence but within the first 2-3 days of shifting over to outlook 2011, none of my emails sent to user@hotmail.com are going through. I get a system mail admin return e-mail saying unable to deliver for 4 hours. Basically saying hotmail.com is not responding. I have never had this problem on mac mail or outlook for the PC. Is this coincidence or does Outlook 2011 get the blame?
Started with issues of my accounts wanting a password every time it checked my hotmail accounts.I could fix them a few weeks ago by deleting the account and adding a new one (same one really).thought I would do that yesterday. deleted my hotmail account.clicked the + button/tab to add a new account- NOTHING happens. zero/nada etc.so I went to file and highlighted add a accountsame thing nothing happens.so dumb me, I went into my preferences and deleted the (should not have emptied the trash) mail preferences thinking it would help.
same thing can't add accounts only delete. only now I have no accounts.rebuilt preferences, deleted caches, rebuilt again, restarted etc.any ideas or help here.don't want to go back to entourage (quit that many years ago).
i'm new to mac and recently just set up my hotmail account on mac's mail application.
However, i realised that after doing so, I realise that a large portion of the emails were deleted from my hotmail server. I was previously accessing my hotmail account via the website, until i got my new Mac.
Is there any way to restore my emails onto my hotmail server account? And why does emails from the server get deleted when i use the mac application?
I am out of my country so I can,t send email with the account I have there, so I set hotmail account on my Mac without any problem I receive the emails but I can,t send any. I set the outgoing mail to: example@hotmail.com; please help as I need urgently contact my office.
I cant log into my yahoo and hotmail mail account after the recent updates done for my Tiger 10.4.11. I can get into the [URL] page, but after writing my username/pass it wont enter! Anyone facing similar problems?
I downloaded this software called httpmail.tiger.universal that was supposed to help me with setting up my hotmail to use with the apples mail app. and when i try to install it, it says it only works with an older version of software. does anyone know how i can link my mail application to my hotmail?
I'm having trouble with my Apple Mail program. I have a number of e-mail accounts (some with Optimum online, a g-mail, yahoo, etc.) Apple Mail has no problem at all reading and downloading any mail from any of the services. My problem is with Optimum Mail (Optonline.net). Mail refuses to send anything through that set-up. I've been on the phone for hours with Optimum and the settings are all correct. I've tried connecting directly to the cable modem and mail gets sent. This would make me believe that it is the Apple Airport Extreme router that is at fault. I've tried restarting it, re-initializing it and setting it up again and the problem continues. All my Optimum mail is picked up and can be read but it will not send anything through Optimum. It asks if I want to send it through another server (like g-mail or yahoo) and if I pick yes the mail sends.
It happens on all my computers a G-3 and pre Intel iMac G-5 on Tiger and my Macbook on Leopard.
Anyone else hear of this problem? Both Apple support and Optimum online say they have never heard of it. Talking for hours with their tech departments have found no solutions.
I have recently deleted an old hotmail account. It was never used and had been hacked. Now that it is deleted, whenever anyone sends me an email to my .Mac account they are given a failed delivery notification. It says that the hotmail address is no longer active. I am getting what they have sent as it's addressed to the .Mac address though. The thing is I have never knowingly linked these accounts. I have been through all the system preferences and there is no mention of them being linked.
I've set up my Hotmail account with POP and Httpmail. Everything looks good up until the point it gets my mail and this is where things goes wrong. It DOESNT get mail. T_T no mail shows up whatsoever on the bottom left it says getting mail. 1xxx out of 1xxx and the bar goes to full but no mail shows up.
I found a free way to use hotmail email address on Mail and its worked very well EXCEPT my last software update. Now, it will send emails happily, but it refuses to receive emails. The program I use is HttpMail Plugin Version Leopard 1.53 (by daniel parnell). Its worked up till this last update on software. Any solutions?
having an issue with Mail. Iv had it set up to receive my hotmail emails however after i upgraded to leopard it wont remember the password. ill type in the correct one and even check "remember this in keychain" yet 2 minutes - a few days later it will ask for it again.
I know how to set up hotmail in Apple mail so that I am receiving email and can send email. But when I send a e-mail from my hotmail account from another computer, the email I've sent, wont appear in the 'sent' box of apple mail. Is there a possibility to sync my hotmail account entirely? No hotmail bashing or advice to switch to gmail or another webmail kind of thing.
I have set up Mail on my Pro OSX 10.6.8 long ago with my POP server password. Now it will not fetch mail, asking for my password. I reenter the correct password, but it still will not work. It again asks for my password. Reboot did not cure the problem.
My Mac Mail was working great until a couple of days ago when Hotmail in it stopped working. I checked all the settings and everything is fine. I had the old pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com but went ahead and changed to pop-mail.outlook.com and smtp-mail.outlook.com and still no luck. I tried using Microsoft's site to troubleshoot but it is worthless. I tried locating a phone or email support but no luck.
Info: MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
We have been using the Macmail facility on a Macbook Air (running Mavericks) to connect to a hotmail account and an MSN account, which are both set up as POP and have been working fine. However, for some reason we now keep receiving a pop up saying that it can't connect and prompts us to enter the passwords? The passwords have not changed and we can access the accounts through a browser and our Android phones fine, it just seems to be Macmail that has trouble connecting. Every now and again it'll suddenly connect and collect new mail but then it'll drop out again and ask for passwords. It's most annoying.
My "Solar" accounts program won't run without "legacy Java SE6 runtime" since I upgraded my iMac desktop to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it, nothing happens when you click on the link to apple support
I can't figure out how to sync it with my hotmail address. I have thunderbird and it works well with that, but i want the full mac experience. I don't wanna get another email address. Does anyone know how to link a hotmail address with mac mail?

When using Pop i could recieve but couldnt send and now im using http plug in and can send but cannot recieve i use hotmail.co.uk as .com in my email address. I would really appreciate if somebody could help me out i know if i join google problem solved but had my hotmail account for a long time and been ex RAF its the easiest way to get friends from my past getting in touch.
I need a step by step guide to achieve two things:
1) Please remind me how to make a video /movie of myself using my Mac Camera. I've forgotten how to do this but I now need it for my plans.
2) Is there a step by strp guide for me to take any video I make and send it to an American friend through my Hotmail address? Is there a way I can do this without having to put the Movie/Video elsewere on the 'net such as youtube?
I wanna surprise a few American friends and what better a way than to send a short message if me through a Movie/Video of me - how would you feel if you had a friend from accross the pond who sent you an E-Mail and the E-mail contained a happy movie/Video of your friend?
