I am trying to set up a Hotmail account in iMail on a new iMac with Mountain Lion.
I followed the instructions to add a new account and it detects everything perfectly. I also used the Connection Doctor and it showed green lights for both incoming and outgoing server connection. I also manually "Get Mail" and it shows loading incoming messages but nothing ever appears. When I right click on the Inbox and select "Account Info" it shows all of the messages on the POP server! But when I select "That have been downloaded to my MAC" it obviously shows ZERO. I have checked all of the account settings on hotmail. Servers are correct and settings are not preventing any email download. But as I said before, iMail acts like it is downloading messages but it never does.
here is what the acocunt info looks like:
Here is the Connection Doctor Status:
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Heather
I did use that functionality. I am looking at this thread now on my iPhone and I see the images just fine!

Try downloading the update from the Apple Downloads site. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1658
Or, you might try booting into Safe Mode and try to install through App Store. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455 -

Im having problem setting up my Hotmail account, it used to work fine until few days ago. It says ive entered an incorrect username or password which i can sign in fine with them details if i use laptop or safari through the phone, Please help..
I Sugges you to log into your hotmail acc and go to security and password change bit, then you will see two-step verification.. turn that off and you will be able to set it up on your iPhone/iPad or even Mac.
Give your phone a restart before trying to set it up. Thanks -
when i try to set up my hotmail account n my IPhone 5, the system reject the password....the system is wrong
Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

HT1694 I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my iphone 5s
I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my Iphone. I've tried many times and still saying UNABLE TO VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT ? Any suggestions?
Just use the 'gmail' option when setting it up. There should be no reason to set up incoming/outgoing servers. Google is killing support for Google Sync (i.e. Gmail set up as an Exchange account) for non corporate customers.

How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !! -

I am trying to set up a mail account but I get a warning that my password cannot be sent securely to the server. How do I correct this so that I can set up my email account?
1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
2. To find the permissions file:
a. hold down the option key
b. go to the Go menu in the finder
c. scroll down to Library and open it
d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
e. drag it to the trash and restart.
3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
This should keep you busy for a while. -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

When trying to set up my eprint account. I get an error message my email
When trying to set up my eprint account. The error message is my email address is on file and I need to sign in, then when using my password, I am told I need to set up an account for the eprint center.
The issue you're experiencing is most likely due to an old Snapfish account registered under your email address. ePrintCenter and Snapfish account information is stored in the same place and I've seen this conflict before. You will need to go to http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/welcome, click the "Sign In" in the top right hand corner of the page and then click the "forgot password" link and enter the email address that is causing your problems, you should receive an email from Snapfish that will let you create a new password there. Once you've created a new password for Snapfish, try to Sign In on ePrintCenter (http://www.eprintcenter.com/) using your email address and the new password you created for Snapfish.
If I have SOLVED your issue, please feel free to provide KUDOS and make sure you mark this thread as SOLUTION PROVIDED!
