Can I use Mail to reply Hotmail messages through Gmail?

I have Hotmail and Gmail.
Hotmail is my main account that I use for general things on the web. I have it since 95 and I don't want to terminate it.
I have Mac Mail and Hotmail POP3 does not sync well with it. It does with Gmail.
My question is. Can I fetch emails from Hotmail with Gmail on my Mac Mail and when I reply the recipient sees it as Hotmail email instead of Gmail email? Does that make sense?
I want people to receive a Hotmail email, even though I am using Gmail to fetch it on my Mail app.
Thanks for any feedback.

Do you have an email account provided by your ISP, that is POP perhaps? If so, then depending on the policies of your ISP, you may be able to add the Hotmail address to the email address address entries for that POP account, and with the SMTP of your ISP, send from the Hotmail address. Many ISP provided SMTP do not restrict the From address you use, so long as the account with is active (usable).
More info, please.

Can't get mail to send hotmail messages

This has been slowly driving me mad since I made the conversion to Macs a few months back.
I've got the outgoing server set to smtp.live.com with authentication of password, using my hotmail account and password. I've tried ticking and unticking various boxes. Deleteing the account and the then entering again. I've tried it on both my home broadband and Uni network.
I can receive mail with no problems but just can't send mail.
smtp.live.com (Offline)
Use default ports
SSL - tried both ticked and unticked
authentication - password

Not sure what the default ports are, but take a look at:
Outgoing Server = smtp.live.com
-Port 25 or 587 [Note: Preferred Outgoing is Port 587 instead of Port 25 since many ISP’s blocks Port 25 usage. Similar blocking can occur when using Port 25 in hotels or accessing via a WiFi network/hotspot]
-Outgoing Server Authentication = On(check the option)-Encryption/Authentication = SSL or TLS
* Choose SSL for Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2003, iPhone, iPod Touch, Outlook Express and Vista’s Windows

Can I Use Mail

Can I use Mail with my SBC Yahoo Mail account ? and how would I go about setting that up if I could, reason why I ask is because then I can just send mail and see my mail taht way, instead of having to go to yahoo all the time, or useing Yahoo Messenger to just check my mail.

You don't need to visit 50 websites - you need to visit SBC's website - the same website where you go to access your SBC/Yahoo email account via webmail.
That website should include a Help section that provides the account setup information for creating and accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app and I'm certain SBC provides POP type account access only.
If you call SBC and tell them you have a Mac and are using the Mail.app, they will probably tell you that they don't support Macs/OS X or the Mail.app but all you need to get from SBC is the following:
Incoming Mail Server address.
User Name Requirement - usually the portion of your email address in front of the @ sign only but sometimes the entire email address depending on the provider.
Account Password - you should already know.
Is Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) required for the incoming mail server? Some providers support this but not required but it is required by some providers.
Outgoing or SMTP server address.
Is the SMTP server authenticated?
If so, the user name requirement. This is usually the same user name requirement as for the incoming mail server.
Password - This is usually the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
Some email clients such as the Mail.app have a selection to use the same account user name and password settings as for the incoming mail server when the SMTP server is authenticated. The Mail.app has no such setting so if the SMTP server is authenticated, the settings must be entered separately for the SMTP server.

Absolutely, you just need to add and setup the second account in the Preferences menu.

I am having problems composing and replying to messages in gmail

Firefox just updated to 3.6.12 today, and after that, my gmail stopped working normally. I can no longer compose or reply to messages following this update, however, I can use gmail on my iPhone, so I assume this is an FF issue. I had Buzz disabled for months, which can be an issue, but obviously it had been working with it offline, so I don't think that is an issue in this case. Gmail does appear to work okay in Basic HTML form, following my switching back to that, but I hope this can be resolved so I can use the standard new Gmail as I had with no problem for years. This is the first problem I have ever had with Firefox updates, again, assuming that is the cause. Maybe it's not, but if/when anyone has any info, please reply.
Thanks!

I have had about:config >dom.storage.enabled, set at false for a week or so now. There were no problems until the ff 3.6.12 update yesterday morning when I began having the same problems as all of you. I allowed all scripts, problem persisted so I went back to about:config, toggled dom storage to true and voila, chat and compose started working. Just to check, I switched it back to false and it stopped working. You can use the add-on betterprivacy to autodelete dom storage cookies but it looks like google will no longer allow you to disable them completely.
more on enabling/dis-enabling in firefox, this is for windows but should be the same for other os: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/106540-dom-storage-cookies-enable-disable.html

Same problem in 8.1.3
Apple help!

I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses. One is personal the other is business. When I send emails from the business address, any auto-replies I get COME TO THE PERSONAL INBOX. I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses.
One is personal the other is business.
When I send emails from the BUSINESS address, any auto-replies/out of office notices I get come to my PERSONAL INBOX.
I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

Edit the SMTP server list. Add a new one for the business account. Put the correct password and information for it. Give it a description so you will know which server is which. Mke sure the correct server is highlighted in the account selected and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do that for the other account also.

Can I use Creative Cloud Applications on LINUX through Wine as It is possible now with box versions?

as in title:
Can I use Creative Cloud Applications on LINUX through Wine as It is possible now with box versions?
Are there any things to consider / do differently?

You are certainly welcome to try. We have not tested this environment in anyway and you may face difficulties with Adobe Creative applications that require heavy use of the CPU. I also would be surprised if Acrobat could be installed in this environment due to it's dependencies to system resources.

Can't send mail or type new message

I'm using OS X 10.4.7 and after installing the most recent update, I can no longer send mail in the mail program. When I hit reply, nothing at all happens. I get a new message window when I hit forward, but I can only type two letters, then nothing happens, and I can't send.
I am receiving mail fine and I can send through comcast.net. Other computers on my network can send mail, but not mine.
I tried changing the server to port 587 and that did nothing.
Thanks for any help.

This particular problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services. The notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved.
Resetting Launch Services
The following article also describes the side effects of cache cleaning:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
The following article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner.
In addition to the utilities mentioned above, you may also consider OnyX, which is free. If you want to try OnyX, after installing it, do this (be sure to read the articles about the side effects of cache cleaning first):
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you've already done them using other utilities.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart.
If that doesn't solve the problem, you may try again checking the Links between documents and applications option in step 3 instead.
And yet another free cache cleaning utility is Cache Out X.
Please, let me know whether you were able to solve the problem, what worked for you and what didn't.

How can I stop Mail from replicating a message & trying to send?

A few days ago I tried to send out an email with three attachments which totaled over 53 megs. Of course it was too large for the server and I recieved bounce back that the message could not be sent. I then created two seperate messages with the attachments at appropriate sizes. I have multiple email accounts and didn't tink anything of the event other than "I should have checked before sending..."
The next day I started getting the system warnings that there was no available space on my hard drive. The previous day I had over 5 gigs of available space.
After researching a few options I noticed the Mail application was having trouble sending an recieveing from one of the four accounts. Then I spotted the culprit - the account was trying to send out the mail with the 53 meg attachment. It was replicating and storing the message and attachment in the "On My Mac" saved mail folders as "Recovered Mail". It had replicated 100 times - 5 gigs worth. The message was not in my Outbox or Sent mail folders.
When accessing the newly created "Recovered Mail" folder and trying to delete the specific messages the application would crash. The work around was to delete the folder. Howver, the next day the folder re-appered and began populating the hard drive with duplicate files.
- Have tried virus scan (Norton AntiVirus) and using Norton Firewall to lock down all drive to internet traffic (annoying with block / allow mesages).
- Have tried deleting the account and re-creating it.
After a few hours or a day the dreaded "Recovered Mail" file was back and hogging drive space.
The account is accessible from my iPhone and through web browsers with no issues. I can't even find the offending message and attachment. So I suspect there is a bug / corruption in Mail.
HELP!
need to know how to fix it or if I have a new virus.
Thanks!

Is this an IMAP account?
If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

How can I use iCloud to receive emails from my GMail account and when I reply, the reply email shows the email in which it was sent to, not the @iCloud address?

I have my GMail account forwarding my emails to my @iCloud.com account which I like, but when I reply, it shows my address as @iCloud.com instead of the email address that was originally addressed to. Anyway to have iCloud reply to emails using the email address in the original email?

You can't use iCloud's outgoing server to send with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address. On your Mac you can set Mail to use the GMail outgoing server with your iCloud account (but then you can just access your GMail there anyway, so there's little point). On the iCloud website you can't do this; there is no way of using your Gmail address.

Can't get mail to download any messages...........

I just upgrade to Leopard and have been using Opera. I can still download messages via Opera, but not using Mail. I can click on the account info. via the Mail program and it shows the individual messages on the server, but it won't download them to the computer when clicking on "get mail". I work for the ISP, so I know my mail settings are correct.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Not sure what the default ports are, but take a look at:
Outgoing Server = smtp.live.com
-Port 25 or 587 [Note: Preferred Outgoing is Port 587 instead of Port 25 since many ISP’s blocks Port 25 usage. Similar blocking can occur when using Port 25 in hotels or accessing via a WiFi network/hotspot]
-Outgoing Server Authentication = On(check the option)-Encryption/Authentication = SSL or TLS
* Choose SSL for Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2003, iPhone, iPod Touch, Outlook Express and Vista’s Windows
