Cannot Check Hotmail Account

When I try to check my mail in my Hotmail account, Safari seems to get stuck in some kind of loop for a minute or two and then takes me to a page that says "Windows Live ID is not available from this computer" and the rest of the page is some old Hotmail page advertising 2 GB of space.
Is there a way to fix this or do I just have to give up using Safari to check Hotmail?

Quote from the hotmail page: "This is the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail
This version works better with your browser. The full version of Windows Live Hotmail runs on Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher (make sure you check the system requirements before you install it). The full version also works on Firefox 1.5." I am using the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail. Sometimes I have to click on the "sign out" tab in the upper right area of the screen before it will let me sign back in. So far this has worked for me. Are you trying to check your hotmail from the www.msn.com main page or from www.hotmail.com? I believe both pages will let you "sign out" and then you can re try to check your mail. Hope this hasn't confused things for you.

  • Cannot configure hotmail account as an exchange

    Althoug hotmail accounts work fine on my iphone and ipad, I still cannot configure it on my mac in the same way. In other words, I cannot see my folders and if I delete an email on my mac, it doesn't get deleted from my hotmail inbox.
    help please

    Yes you can.  Settings>>>Mail>>>Add Account>>>Microsoft Exchange---Email (your hotmail address) Domain (ignore) Username (your hotmail address), Password (your hotmail password) Description (what you want to call the mail account)>>>Next---Server (m.hotmail.com)>>>Next----Choose what you want to sync>>>Save.

  • Cannot Close Hotmail Account Linked to Verizon (with MSN Premium)

    I've been given the run-around by Verizon when I asked how to de-link Verizon with MSN Premium from my Hotmail account. After several bad pieces of advice (like switching to Yahoo - which I did but it did not delink my Hotmail from Verizon) they suggested that I contact Hotmail. I posted this message in the Hotmail forums but no response. I want to close the e-mail account in question but Hotmail says I cannot because it is linked to another service. As far as I know Verizon is the only service associated with my Hotmail account.
    Help?
    Thanks

  • Cannot check pop account in Yosemite

    Testing beta version and cannot retrieve mail from my pop account. any suggestions

    Check your iPhoto's Accounts preference pane to see if that account is listed there. If so delete it.   Also delete if from Mail's Accounts preference pane.  Then try again from the System/Accounts preference pane.

  • Cannot send mail from my hotmail account on my iphone 4s

    i bought a iphone 4s and set up my hotmail account through the Mail setting - Add accout - Hotmail.  I have never been able to send mail through this set up. i have deleted the account and re-setup the account several times and had no success.  I am able to recieve email but this is still useless if I cannot reply.  Is there anyone else with this problem? can anyone help me?
    I love this phone, but this is definately a major downfall and I am really %&#@...... unhappy.

    I was having trouble emailing from Gmail on my iPhone 5, because the server didn't allow relaying, as some folks in this thread described . Deleting and setting the account up again didn't help. Someone in this thread said to go to Settings, Gmail, Advanced, Server Port, and change it to 25.  It worked like a charm.  BUT- here's the weird part: when I went back to check the server port, it had changed itself back to the previous port # and it's still working fine.  Go figure.

  • TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

    cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
    in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
    all help is much appreciated.
    interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

    this may or may not help - but give it a try.  On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella.  below are the steps this use listed.  (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same.  In short it looks like their server names have changed.  An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.)  Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings.  (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
    See if this helps.
    why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3.  The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi. 
    This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP. 
    Incoming server settings
    IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 143
    Security type - none 
    Outgoing Server settings
    SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 25
    Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
    and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.

  • Can anyone please tell me why my 'Hotmail' account cannot get connected to its server on iOS 6?

    Hi everyone,
    I have just upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 6. Everything is running perfectly well except for my emails. My primary email address is on Hotmail and the email app on my iPad is unable to connect itself to the server hence I cannot get any email. Which is really really frustrating and I have already missed a few important ones.
    If someone can please kindly give me a solution, I have already tried mannually turning on the SMTP servers but that didn't work either. A timely response will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you all.

    There may be settings in the hotmail account that you need to change. I know I had to manually tell it to allow me to delete mails on the device, but even then I have to delete it on every device I use to access the account

    maybe info here can help you
    I've received mail on my hotmail and I have iOS6, so I do think it's an issue with a specific device or account.

  • Hello all when i delete my messages on my iphone they are still in my inbox  in my hotmail account when i check it on a computer. how can i have it be deleted from my inbox as well. thanks

    hello, when i delete messages from my iphone its not deleted when i check my inbox from a computer. is there a way for me to delete it only once, i use a hotmail account. thanks

    Settings/Mail/<yr hotmail account>/Advanced/Delete from Server = When Removed from Inbox
    This will cause messages in your Hotmail inbox ( on the Hotmail server) to be deleted when you delete them from the Inbox on the iPhone.

    I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

    Last but not least, for the site that has the problem:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can open the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
