  • I have added my hotmail email account to my ipod but when I open/delete emails it is not syncing with my computer. What can I do so that when I delete emails from my ipod, they show up as deleted when I access hotmail from my computer.

    If you like to set up the Hotmail account as an Exchange account, see this Apple support document.

  • TS3103 hotmail email setup on OS X Mail 6.2

    I need to know how do setup to receive the Hotmail email in Mail 6.2 in Mac OS X 10.8.2

    Configuring Windows Live Hotmail follows the same general sequence as configuring most any mail client for most any mail server — mail servers are more or less the same everywhere, though the services and ports can vary.   Put another way, you need to acquire some information for the target mail service (the server host names for the mail-send and mail-receive paths, whether IMAP or POP3 is used, whether SSL/TLS is used or not, and possibly the TCP portI(s) involved (if not the standard ports, and this is rare), and these configuration details are covered in the Apple cheat sheet (below).
    Here are what I think the Hotmail settings are (I don't have a login over there, so I can't confirm these):
    Windows Live Hotmail appears to use the the pop3.live.com server and TCP port 995 (that's POP via TLS/SSL) as the receive path with your Hotmail email address as your user and your Hotmail password, and the smtp.live.com server and TCP port 587 (That's SMTP submission port with TLS/SSL, again with your Hotmail email address and password as your credentials).
    Configure these settings manually (or possibly via the Wizard) and you should be good to go.
    Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail does apparently also permit outbound SMTP connections via port 25, but I'd recommend against configuring and using that port, as that port tends to be blocked outbound from many networks.

  • What is the correct way to completely add a Hotmail account to Mail?

    I'm trying to figure out the full and complete way of adding a Hotmail account to Mail.  I've tried just using "Adding other mail account..." but it will only input mail and not contacts.  Most of my contacts are stored in that email account (all phone contacts on my iPhone are stored on my Hotmail account).  So yes, I can get mail, but is there anyway to sync contacts as well as mail?

    Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

  • Mac Mail error when viewing Hotmail email - please help.

    When Hotmail is viewed via Mac Mail, the To: field displays the recipient’s name & Hotmail address. There is a serious problem with my incoming Hotmail … instead of displaying my name and Hotmail email address it displays my friend’s name (initials are RB) alongside my Hotmail email address ... for every Hotmail email that is sent to me no matter who emails me.  My contact/address book entries for my name and my friend are correct in Mac Address Book and Hotmail Contacts. Very strange.
    Mac Mail seems to be adding recipient name to the To:  field of all of my Hotmail emails & putting in the wrong name next to my email address!  I say this because the official www.hotmail.com site only displays a recipient email address in the To:  field (no name appears).  This error is only happening in Mac Mail with my Hotmail emails (not happening with my Gmail and Yahoo emails).
    How/why is a wrong name/my friend's name displayed next to my email address in every Hotmail message I view in Mac Mail?
    This error is only occurring in incoming Hotmail messages addressed to me.  Emails that I send using my Hotmail show my name & email address correctly in the From field.
    I am very concerned about this since my Hotmail account has been my primary email address for over ten years and appears on my business cards, etc.   I am trying to avoid the hassle of creating another primary email elsewhere. 
    Thanks in advance for your help in resolving this problem.
    Here is some background information:
    Using Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
    My Hotmail address ends with @msn.com … not Hotmail.com.

    I don't think this is a Mail vs. GoDaddy issue. Rather, it looks like a DNS issue. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it'll ask for your password, regardless of whether that's really the problem or not. It could be that mail.yourdomain.com isn't resolving to the right IP address for some reason, for example.
    Although unlikely in this case, it could also be a Keychain issue. Open Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the Keychain. If that doesn't work, you may try removing the password entry from the Keychain, and let Mail create it again.
    Also, open Mail Help and read the article titled Mail keeps asking for my keychain password, in case there is something there that applies to you. There is a related article titled My password is not saved that you should ignore, as the last suggestion provided there (deleting the mail account) is wrong and could cause irretrievable data loss if this is not an IMAP-type account.

  • Hotmail accounts in Mail - automatically recalling email addresses

    I've managed to link two hotmail accounts to MAIL yet when i switch between inboxes in mail and start a new message, it is only picking up email addresses from one of the accounts (the first one I linked).
    If I type the start of an email address into the 'TO' area it starts to suggest email addresses from the first account - but none from the second account.
    Other than adding email addresses to the address book, is there anyway to have MAIL automatically pick up email addresses from both accounts?
    Many thanks, S

    Mail will only autocomplete an address that you've previously sent email to; it can't find addresses from Hotmail. So unless you've used those addresses you're wanting to see in that particular account, they won't show up, no matter which account you use.
    You can add them to Address Book, or you can just start sending email to all of them and then they'll be in the Previous Recipients list the next time.

  • Not receiving emails (with rules) from hotmail on my Mail

    Hi, i have recently set up my Mail on Moutain Lion, adding a Hotmail account.
    i can only receive the emails sent to my hotmail inbox.
    However, those with rules applied, ie those sent directly to the hotmail folders , cannot be received on my Mail.
    Pls advise and thanks in advance.

    You do not have a virus. What you do have is an incompetent service provider.
    I suggest you first try to locate the problem.
    With Mail running, click Window in the menu bar and select Connection Doctor. The new pane will tell you the name of the account that is not working.
    For the next step you have to know the password for your mail service. This is not the same as the login password for the computer. Do not try this step if you do not have the password.
    Click Mail in the menu bar, select Preferences, and click Accounts (second icon from the left). Select the account that is not working, and click - (minus sign). That will delete that account.
    Now click + (plus sign) and follow the directions on the screen to create a new Mail account. As you do this, the computer will tell you if the service is working.
    Good luck.

    Thank you

    Mail has Smart Addresses that will display the name and email address under Preferences > Viewing, but your issue sounds like a different issue.
    Did you setup an outlook.com alias in Outlook.com when it made the transition? If not, add an alias and see if that helps. You can also test sending from the outlook.com alias to see if the results are as expected.
    For example if your Hotmail email is [email protected] then setup an alias [email protected]
    If that fails, test in a new User.
    Create a new User in System Preferences.
    Log into your new User.
    You can skip the Apple ID setup unless you are testing iCloud.
    Select Don't Sign in > Continue > Skip
    Open Mail and enter your Hotmail account.
    Does the problem go away?

  • Ipad mail app won't send hotmail emails

    I'm having trouble sending emails from my hotmail account. Every time I try it comes up with "cannot send mail - an error occurred while delivering this message"
    I have try closing and reopening the app, rebooting the ipad, removing and adding the hotmail account....all did not work
    Any other ideas?

    I had this issue and this was what worked for me, I was using the "hotmail" option.
    1. go to settings
    2. go to mail, contacts, calendars
    3.delete your email from device
    4. click "add account"
    5. there should be different account options, chose "other"
    6. chose "add mail account" and do so
    You  should be able to send now, but you might want to check how it updates.  Certain email options used "push"  which lets you know you have a new  email the moment you get it, much like a text message. "Other" only  allows you to have "fetch" which updates every selected amount of  mintues, and "Manual" which does exactly what it says.
    7. It should return you to the mail, contacts, calendars page. Press "Fetch New Data"
    8.  there will be a list of when it will update your email. The less it  updates, the easier it is on battery life. There is a manually option.
    9. If you want to use the actually "Manual" Update schedule then press "Advance" then your account.
    10. There you can chose "Fetch" (which I suggest if you use email a lot and there is a manual option there anyways) or "Manual"
    I really hoped this helped! If it did then well....awesome.

  • Just got a new macbook air I added 2 google email accounts to the mail program.  The mail downloaded thousands of emails and now on the top right hand corner I get bombarded by notification of these emails from 3-4 years ago and it is non stop.

    When I added 2 gmail accounts to my new macbook air.  The email program download thousands of emails and now I am getting notifications non stop on the top right hand corner from years ago it is non stop notification for the emails from like 2007 really old emails.  I am not sure why it is notifying me of old emails I know it is new just downloaded in the program but it should only notify me of recent emails shouldn't it?

    If your email client (Mail) it set to never delete emails from the server,  they stay there waiting. The server doesn't track what you've already downloaded, so a new setup of Mail just grabs whatever it finds on the server. You can change this in Settings, but for now, you have all your old emails to sort.

  • How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

    how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
    I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
    regards
    Brendon

    Hi bmuur,
    I also had the same problem.
    I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
    If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
    It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
    Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
    I then clicked create and it worked for me.
    Hopefully this solves your problem. 

  • Hotmail emails are going missing in Mail

    Hi
    Has anyone found a resolution to this problem. All my Hotmail emails download fine into Mail when I configured it the first time but now when I go to click on a particular email, the whole folder content disappears. The messages are still on my actual hotmail account, but are just not shown in Mail.
    Any ideas please....

  • Import Hotmail emails to Apple's Mail

    I use Apple's Mail program for my primary email but I also have a Hotmail account, but I get so much spam that I want to close it. However, before closing it I would like to import all email from this Hotmail account into Mail but Mail's import feature does not list Hotmail, only "Other". But when I choose "Other" it asks me to select an application but of course Hotmail doesn't show up. Bottom line--how can I import my Hotmail emails into Apple's Mail?
