Attachments on hotmail account - impossible on my macbook

Hi all,
I am the happy owner and user of a MacBook Pro since July 10, this is my first post here.
For some time now I am unable to attach any document to new emails I create on my hotmail accounts. There must be a setting issue with the Mac as I have no problem attaching docs on Yahoo, nor do I have issues with the Hotmail accounts when using another computer (PC, or even Mac... but the shop attendant of the iStore couldnt help me on this one)
Any clue ?

How large is the attachment and what type of file is it?

  • How do I set up hotmail account on MacBook Air - tried for 2 days now without success?

    I have been trying to add a hotmail account on my new MacBook Air without success - searched on the net for 2 evenings now and still no success!  Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong although I think it could be that I am not sure that the Exchange Server address I have used is correct.  If anyone can help how to check I have the correct exchange server address, that would also be appreciated
    Thanks!

  • I can no longer sign in to my hotmail account on my ipad or MacBook. Hotmail works on my android. I have tried deleting and adding account. Won't add.

    Help...as of this morning, my ipad and MacBook Pro will not sign into my hotmail. It is not hotmail or my account, because it works on my galaxy phone. I have tried deleting the hotmail account and reading on my Mac, but it won't let me.

    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.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

  • How do I add my Hotmail account to my Mail app on my MacBook Pro so that it synchronize automatically ?

    Hi guys, I'm new to Mac. I know that you can add email accounts likeHotmail into your Mail app so that you can view, edit, modify, create and delete your emails and folders, etc. The questions I have are (1) can I see all the emails I have not just in the inbox but all the other folders as well just like if I was logging on to Hotmail via Internet Explorer ? (2) what happens if I read some emails, delete or move some emails, create new emails and send or save in draft, create or delete folders, etc in the Mail app on my MacBook Pro, will this synchronize and reflect the same on my Hotmail account if I was to logging via Internet Explorer ? How about the other way ? If so, how do I set it up on my MacBook Pro to do this automatically ?
    I know that this doesn't work with Hotmail accounts on my iPhone 4 via the Mail app. Everytime I read an email or delete an email on my Mail app, it does not synchronize or reflect the same on my live Hotmail account when I logging via Internet Explorer.
    Any help, guidance or advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Edit: never mind, I was using the wrong password

  • HT1694 I receive emails but not the attachments on iPhone or iPad into my hotmail account .

    Why do I receive emails without attachments into my hotmail account on my iPad and iPhone ?

    Hi,
    I had previously tried that, but only deleting the SQLlit databases.
    This time I tried to delete the whole iTunes_Control folder as suggested, hard reset.
    It resynched with iCloud and now I had neither artists names or album names.
    As an added bonus iTunes no longer recognised the device and wanted to set it up as a new phone - good job I had backed up the folder so I could re-insert the iTunes information to sort that little issue out.
    I've cancelled my auto renew on Match subscription. If I don't fix it by early December then I'll save my money and forget the idea of using it until next year.

  • I can't send e-mails from my hotmail account with my Macbook

    Please help, I've noticed recently that I am unable to send e-mails from my hotmail account from my Macbook. I was able to send e-mails today from work (non-macbook). It's getting stressful as I have no idea what to do!

    We took our MacBook Pro to the  apple store, after a long trial and error, they FIXED the  problem!
    It turns out that one of the files was corrupt, it was either Java or Silverlight.
    My suggestion to you is to remove Java than restart and then reinstall Java. See if hotmail works. If not, than, remove Silverlight reboot than reinstall Silverlight.
    For us, it was one of those two files that were corrupt and that was causing hotmail to not be able to send email.
    I'm not sure what the procedure is to remove and reinstall files, all I know is that my wives MacBook can now send email using hotmail.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible for Mail on the Macbook to Mirror your Hotmail account.

    Is it possible for Mail on the Macbook to Mirror your Hotmail account,
    so that if I read or delete an email in Mail on Mac it will do the same in Hotmail? 
    Sorry if this has been asked before I'm new to Apple.

    No, the email address is the "username" for the Sync account, you need a different email address for each Sync account that you setup.

    I have disabled Silverlight after seeing that suggested somewhere. That didnt help.

  • Every time I want to log in to my Hotmail account I have to type my password over again, and every time I log in I try to save my password. I have tried hundreds of times, but it seems impossible. What am I doing wrong?

    When A person want to log in to a hotmail account to read or send an E-mail, one have to enter the e-mail adress and password. There is also a small square you can mark i you want Firefox to save your password so that you don't have to enter password every time you log in to the e-mail account (in this case hotmail)
    Every time I log in to hotmail I mark the square so that Frefox will save my password, but my password has never been saved. I'm so tired of always having to enter my password, over and over again.
    What do I do wrong? How can I solve tis problem?

  • Importing Hotmail account to my Macbook

    Can i set up my Apple mail client to receive my hotmail account mail? I have been trying for a few days and keep getting different responses, but no definitive fix for the problem.

    To set up Hotmail, you need to install the httpmail plugin. If your account is too new though, it may not work.
    If the httpmail plugin doesn't work, the only other option I'm aware of is maybe MacFreePOPs

  • Why can't i email attachments on hotmail?

    I am unable to attach documents through my hotmail email account when using my macbook air.  My apple desktop however has no issue with the task and therefore i have to switch to that computer to send emails with attachments.  all my software is supposedly updated. why would this be?

    What did the genius figure out? I have the same problem with two different iPads.
    Here is my situation: I have an e-mail with a 27.5MB PowerPoint attachment that I need to get onto my iPad. Normally I e-mail these to myself and then open them in either Keynote or QuickOffice. This time when I try to download it I get the "Cannot Download Attachment" message. I have tried this on an iPad 2 and an iPad mini. Both are running 7.0.4 (11B554a). Interestingly enough, I am able to download and view it on an iPhone 5S running the same 7.0.4 (11B554a) build!
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

  • Is it possible to display multiple hotmail accounts at the sign-in page?

    I have two windows hotmail accounts and want to display them both at the sign-in page. There is an addon in internet explorer called "windows live sigin assistant" which does this, but it is not compatable with firefox. Is there a quick fix or can a Firefox addon be made?

    A lot depends on how you have designed your application.
    - you can configure your sub-vis to have their FP open when running. Click on the subVI FP icon and select VI Properties. Go to Window appearance, select Customize and then Show Front Panel when called. That way, the FP window will remain open during execution.
    Of course, I suppose that this is not exactly what you are looking for.
    You can use property nodes to open or close programmatically a subVI FP.
    In the Application control subpalette, get Open VI reference, use it to call your subVI, wire the FP.Open property node and you should be almost done. See the attached diagram.
