  • Hello, I have deleted my hotmail account and it deleted all the names with my contacts. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

    Yeah, add the Hotmail mail account back to the device.  It sounds like your missing contacts were synced to your Hotmail account.

  • I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists

    I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists. I really want my hotmail back and for the hotmail folders to be accessible. Gmail is working and the folders are accessible. My iphone already receives my mail so I don't want to effect that.  Any help please?

    You need to post in the Mail forum area of whichever os you are using (which you did not indicate). 

  • HT1918 How to transfer purchase from hotmail to icloud account.  I want to delete my hotmail account

    Hi, I just created an iCloud account and I would like to dissociated my hotmail account from iTunes.  How can I do it witout loosing my purchases?  Thank you

    You don't have to use the same ID for iCloud as you do for purchasing.  You can just set up iCloud using your other ID. 
    If your have already have another account, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted, set up your new account with the other ID, turn on your iCloud data syncing and when prompted, choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

  • 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.

  • Need help with Mail - Hotmail .. actual hotmail account won't delete

    Hello, first post! I just purchased a mac last week. First one ever so i'm learning to use the programs and having some fun. I opened up the mail application and synced with my gmail account just fine. I then added a 2nd account which was my hotmail account. I'm not happy with how the hotmail account syncs with mac mail application. The problem arises when i try to delete the Hotmail account i added. I right clicked and selected "delete account" and it deleted all my email but the Hotmail inbox icon will not delete and i am still getting new emails into the inbox. I'm not sure if i explained this correctly so feel free to ask for clarification. Does anyone know how i can get rid of my hotmail account from my macbook mail application for good?

  • I upgraded to IOS 7 and now I can't get my Hotmail account on my phone.  When I type in all the information, I get "Unable to Verify Account Information".  How do I get to use my Hotmail account using this software????

    I have had the same problem as yours on my Ipad after upgraded Procreate 2.01. My iOS is 7.04. I tried to find solution from internet for weeks. Fortunately, the problem was resolved a few minutes ago. It is very simple,
    1. Lunch outlook.com to confirm you can access hotmail mailbox. It means your account is Ok.
    2. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.Delete your hotmail account from your device.(my device is Ipad)
    3. Turn off your device, then turn on again.
    4. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and create your hotmail account by tap outlook.com. Be sure the incoming mail server is pop3.live.com.
    5. Waiting for validation.
    That's all. Hope my experience is helpful. Good luck!

  • I am unable to add hotmail account into my ipad 2.  Hotmail says the problem is with apple since I can access the account in all other devices except my ipad. I need to get pass, "unable to verify my account information"  Apple personnel appear helpless

    I have an Ipad2 and have tried severally to re-add my hotmail account but couldn't.  In collaboration with Apple personnel today (10/17/2012), we routed the Settings and General via the home page but solution appears elusive.  I can't get pass "Unable to verify your account information"  Hotmail feedback has it that the problem is with the iPad since I can access the hotmail account on my laptop, desktop, and smart phone,  Can someone please help me in this matter. 

    I see you have resolved this problem but for anyone else trying to sort out their Hotmail account on their iPad try the following:
    Try deleting your Hotmail account from your iPad/iPhone (making sure you can access your emails from your PC or other device as all your email history will also be deleted). Then under Settings go to 'Add an account' and click 'Other'(don't use the Hotmail heading). Fill in the required details for your Hotmail account and wait for account to be verified. This has just worked for me. Good luck!

  • HT1694 unsync a hotmail account from my iPhone

    Don't recall how it happened, but I had an old hotmail account and have an existing comcast account (default), somehow now everytime I use my iPhone to send email, it shows the hotmail account.  I deleted the hotmail account from my phone, but it still does it.

    Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Select Hotmail - Delete Account.

  • Hotmail account drains Battery on iphone - process loops indefinately

    Apparently the migration from Hotmail to Outlook by Microsoft, which took place during the last 2 months has created an incompatibility issue causing some iphone process to be looping indefinitly thus using up battery.
    My battery on my iphone 4 was draining in a few hours and turning hot while not doing anything (idling).
    I downloaded lAssistant (with an L not an i) and noticed that before i deleted my hotmail account, the activity of the CPU while my iphone 4 was not doing anything, was 35-40% while AFTER i deleted my hotmail account the activity dropped to 4% and the battery returned tom normal drain.
    My Iphone 4 returned to normal operation after
    1. removing my Hotmail account from settings->mail,contacts->accounts->(choose hotmail account) Delete Account,
    2. turning off my  iphone 4
    3. turning on my iphone 4
    4. Re-adding my Hotmail account
    The battery has STOPPED draining and getting hot.
    Now if this was done by Microsoft on purpuse or not is another issue........ Apple should fix this bug immediatelly.

    What bug?  There was an issue in the setup of the account or possibly an email stuck in the out of constantly trying to send. Removing and re-adding the account resolved the issue.
    Sorry, but there is no issue. Therefore nothing for Apple to fix.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • How can I stop emails deleting on my hotmail account

    Hi
    My iphone 4 is set up to deliver my hotmail emails to my phone.  The actions I take on my phone (e.g., deleting an email) are being replicated in my hotmail account on the server.  I appreciate this is no bad thing except that both myself and my wife use the email account, hence there can be emails that I don't see because it has been deleted by my wife.  This has only been hapening over the last 2-3 months.  Prior to this, the actions taken on the phone did not affect the hotmail account on the server.
    Can anybody advise if / how I can continue to receive emails to my phone, but the fact that I read or delete them not affect the main server?
    Thanks in advance.
    Lee

    Thank you for your response.  How do I set up as a POP mail account, as opposed to some other type of account?  Thanks in advance.
