Contents in folders of my hotmail account

I set up my hotmail account in ipad and I can see the folders and subfolders under my hotmail account.
But....there is no content in each of them.
In other words, I cannot locate the previous emails I saved in those folders previously.
Pls advise. Thanks.

Hi Helen,
Unfortunately hotmail does not support imap or pop3 connections via the mail.app. Therefore at the moment you have to read your hotmail via safari.
However, saying the above, you can access your hotmail account via the mail.app on your iPhone by using the following service at http://v3.izymail.com/ (this costs about $18 per year)
Hope that helps

Unable to open any folders in my HOTMAIL ACCOUNT inspite of logging in it

I am able to log in to my HOTMAIL ACCOUNT, from the mozilla firefox. But unable to open or read or forward or delete any of the emails from the inbox and all the other folders. It seems there is a problem on the mozilla and not the hotmail account. Appreciate your quick help to access the emails.
thanks

Try deleting and re-adding the email account.

I don't believe that can be done. The only way I know of to replicate your folders on Hotmail is to create them there, then forward your email to Hotmail. But you would have to forward existing mail one message at a time which would be tedious if you have a lot.

Folders made in Hotmail account doesn't show up unlike folders from Yahoo

Hello everyone. I have different folders I created in my Yahoo account to help keep my inbox clean. Every folder I have created in Yahoo shows up in my iPhone. I created similar folders in Hotmail but they don't show up in my iPhone. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

A Hotmail account can be accessed as a POP account, and this isn't supported with a POP account.
This is supported with an IMAP account and you are accessing your Yahoo account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client.

Making Mail and Hotmail account the same

Hi, I just started using mail. I like it, but I have a lot of folders in my hotmail account that are nicely arranged and have documents I like to refer to. Is there a way to bring these folders--the way I have them in my hotmail account into mail? Also, can I export my hotmail contact list to mail or address book? Finally, when I delete a message directly from mail is there a setting I can turn on so that it automatically deletes in my hotmail account as well? Thank You

No. hotmail provides POP access only. POP only provides access to inbox, not any other folders. this is a limitation of hotmail, not Mail. it would be the same in any other email client. if hotmail provided IMAP access you could get to all those mailboxes in Mail.
Also, can I export my hotmail contact list to mail or address book?
probably, but you have to check with hotmail. do they allow exporting address book contacts at all? if so you should be able to export them from hotmail and then import them into Address Book.
Finally, when I delete a message directly from mail is there a setting I can turn on so that it automatically deletes in my hotmail account as well?
no. this is again a limitation of POP. you could do this with an IMAP account which syncs everything with the server so this would be automatic. if you want these features you might want to look into getting an IMAP account. gmail and AIM provide free IMAP accounts. mobileme is also IMAP but costs 100$ per year. but it offers many other features beside email too.
Thank You

How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

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?

Cheers,
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. !!

Content of folders in hotmail have disappeared on ipad but are there on other devices, why?

Maybe you can tell us more to help us understand what is happening.
What devices are working correctly?
What does the Hotmail website show?
What changed on your iPad?
etc

Most folders not updating from hotmail account

Recently installed Outlook 2013 as part of Office 2013 Pro.
Have tried to set it up with my hotmail account. Only the Inbox, Sent Mail and Deleted Items folders sync. The remaining folders do not sync and display the message "We didn't find anything to show here."
Can someone please explain! How is it possible that Outlook does not or cannot download all my hotmail messages?!

Hi,
How did you configure your Hotmail account in Outlook 2013? Generally, we configure Hotmail account in Outlook 2013 via Exchange ActiveSync protocol. We should type the following server in the Mail server field:
m.hotmail.com
Please first make sure you have configured your account correctly in Outlook.
If you have configured your account correctly, please also make sure the "Mail to keep offline slider" is not set to a short period. To check this, click File > Account Settings > Account Settings > double-click your account and check
if the slider is set to 1 month. If so, change it to All to see the result.
Please let me know the result.

TS3276 I can login perfectly to my hotmail account but can not see the contents. What is wrong?

I have more than one mail account. All of them are working except hotmail. Everything seems to be logged correctly. Even checked with "connection doctor". I can not see the contents of the hotmail account. What could be wrong?

When you read the ebooks on your iPad (with you logged in using your Acrobat account), did you explicitly save those files to Acrobat.com? Are you able to access those same files in browser?

Retrieve folders from previously established windows hotmail account

How do i retrieve saved email folders from a previously establihsed windows hotmail account?

Isn't HotMail still POP3 mail only (i.e. no IMAP support)? If that is still the case, then your device is working correctly. The folders you made are a feature of the web tool for hotmail, and are not part of the POP3 supported email protocol. Only IMAP mail supports on-server mail subfolders, and those can be accessed from the iPhone mail client. But POP3 is limited to the inbox solely, as that is literally the only folder that sits on the mail server (your others are on Microsofts web server and supported via the web mail tool).

Deleting email folders on my hotmail/outlook also deleted them on coresponding thunderbird account and I can't recover them.

My thunderbird synchronization and storage settings set to save messages to my computer, but after deleting messages and folders in my actual hotmail account, the same messages and folders were deleted from the corresponding thunderbird account. I lost thousands of messages. Can they be recovered? both emails and folders were deleted and I could not undo the actions in hotmail.

Move messages that you want to keep to the Local Folders "account" in Thunderbird.
The synch settings are to do with local cache copies to make working in Thunderbird faster, so it doesn't have to download a message each time you view it. Synch isn't intended to provide permanent storage. The whole premise of IMAP is that messages are stored on the server and not on clients.
So if you detach messages from the IMAP server by moving them to Local Folders, they are yours and of no further concern to the server.

TS3899 Since download of ios7.0.4ipad and iPhone don't sync hotmail account. I have un installed email account on both devices still not syncing also now unable to view email folders

Since I downloaded iOS 7.0.4 onto iPad and iPhone hotmail account won't sync. I have un installed the hotmail account on both and reinstalled. Still won't sync and now cannot view email folders

When you reinstall, set it up as an Outlook account instead of "other". Everything synced when I did that.

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

Why is my wife's hotmail account on her iphone draining her battery with usage and standby being the same? My iphone and hotmail does not do this.

My wife and I both have an Iphone 5 and hotmail accounts.
We are on the same wifi and I have restored and reset her phone several times, but whenever I add her hotmail account to her phone, the phone is always in use according to the usage. also the phone becomes warm as if it was in use for several hours. The standby time is only about 2-3 hours before dying. However, removing her hotmail account, stops this. What about the hotmail account is causing this?

What you're describing is the expected behaviour. I believe though that is also is the easiest way to have all the contents available to both of you at all times. If you have a spacious hard drive you should probably allow this to happen as anything else will be harder to manage.
My suggestion would be the following if you want to try something different.
Store all your music at a location that is accessible by both of you — an example would be to use your Public Folder as the locations where iTunes will go and look for all the media files—. Your wife does have access to it.
In the Finder you will need to move the folder name iTunes Music to the location in your Public Folder (see above). Once that's done, you and your wife will have to go into the iTunes Preferences > Advance Preferences and un-check Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. From this point on, you can continue to use iTunes as usual. You'll need to tell your wife what has been newly downloaded/imported into your iTunes so she can manually go look for those items in that Public Folder iTunes of yours and import them into her iTunes. She will not duplicate by doing that, but, like I say this is an all-manual work.
She can do the same, so you have access to contents she imported herself. One more downside of this is that both usernames have to be active in your iMac. If yours isn't, she won't be able to access any item (song, book, app) located in your Public Folder's iTunes.
I'm sure there's a way, if you have an router with external hard drive conectivity, for both of you to be able to access —independently— the iTunes Media at all times but I was just reading at another post that doing so can further complicate things.
Hope this helps. Please let me know what you think or decide to do.

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store
