You will need to ask the folks at hotmail.
I could suggest you use a synchronized IMAP mail account, as I assume our using a pop one at the moment

You might be able to trick iMovie by temporarily moving that project folder out of the following location:
Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects > (look for the name of the project that blew-up)
Drag that project folder to the Desktop for the time being. Launch iMovie and see if it still tries to create the Project Thumbnails. If it gets past any error messages or other house keeping, you can create a new project. Otherwise, quit iMovie. Drag that project folder from the desktop BACK into your iMovie Projects folder. Try launching iMovie again and see if it gets stuck generating the Thumbnails.

How to prevent Apple Mail from downloading old emails from Yahoo (Imap)

I started using Apple Mail and decided to use it to access my yahoo mail. Apple mail worked well in setting up my account but the problem is I have more than 10,000 emails in my yahoo account and Apple mail is downloading each and every one of them. Even if i choose for it not to download attachments, it will still take a long time to download. Is there a way or Mail to just download emails starting now, or at least within this year only?

Good question. I have the same issue. Too many old Yahoo emails. My iMac struggles to download the email to the client and it doesn't work - it seems to time out and stop downloading the old mail.

How do I delete old downloaded emails from hotmail

When I bought my Macbook Pro the Apple tech helping me set it up incorrectly started downloading thousands of old emails from my Hotmail account. I don't use the email account on my Macbook and prefer not to. How do I find and delete these emails and the attachments that were included? I just recently figured out that they exist on my Macbook. Thanks!

Why didn't the Apple tech correct your issue?

Mail 5.0 doesn't Download Email from Hotmail

Hi,
Mail 5.0 Doesn't Download Email from Hotmail,
The other days he could,
What can i do?

In the preferences file, it already shows that my signature belongs to my mail account. In fact, everything is precisely how I had it setup before Lion upgraded the mail program. According to Mail - Preferences - Signatures, my signature should be automatically appended to my email, but the compose window doesn't allow me to select the signature. It only shows that there are no signatures and gives me an option to open the preferences file.
My point is that the preferences are set up correctly. Something else is broken here.

Set up email on my iphone 5c and now it is downloading every email I have ever received. Even old emails from months ago, how do I make it stop?

IPhone 4 downloading old emails randomly from last week or a few weeks ago

I am not seeing this problem when I download my emails to MS Outlook, only on my iPhone 4. It appears to be random. I will have an old email from a week or so ago just show up in my inbox. I keep my inbox very clean, only current issues that need addressing stay in there.
I prefer to keep my emails sitting on the server, but I have gone in and deleted them off the server. Still having the same issue.
My husband has the iPhone 4S without this problem.
I have updated to the newest operating system.
I *think* this issue showed up even before the new update.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Michelle

Mail, wants to download 9000 old emails from server!! help please

HI, on my iphone 4 all warks for my 2 emails settings but on my ipad 2 one of my to emails wants to download 9000 emails from the server! how can I stop it

it sounds like your mail is a PoP server.
This happens because your mail has a copy on the mail server. If you are worried about downloading so many you may have to go to your mail website and cleanup there.
For future cleanup I would suggest forwarding your mail to a iMAP server (gmail etc...) and just reading it from there. That way if you delete it on one device it deletes on all devices and keeps your mail clean and only what you want to see
I hope this helps!
GL!

I have three email accounts on my iPhone. one account is now constantly downloading old emails as unread. I am know into the thousands. How can I stop that

I have three email accounts on my iphone. one of the accounts is now constantly downloading old emails and marking them as unread. I can I stop this from happening?

iPhone mirrors the content of your accounts. You can turn off that account by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > account > turn off mail. Then access your email account via webmail/website and delete them there. Once you turn on the account again in your iPhone it wont download them all. Otherwise to leave it downloading then mark them all read once downloaded.

I want to back up an IMAP account via POP3 in Thunderbird but it will not download old emails that are still on the server. How can I do this?

I wand to use Thunderbird to back up and purge old emails from an account via POP3. This account is accessed by other users using IMAP on their computers and phones.
I want to archive and purge old messages from the server using Thunderbird. But, it will not download messages that apparently are marked as read on the server via IMAP.

Pop mail accounts must be set up to 'leave messages on the server'.
check this before using.
* Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
or
* menu icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
select: 'leave messages on the server'
optional: select: 'for at most xx days' this will delete anything older than specified number of days select 'Until I delete them' when you delete an email it will be deleted off the server.
click on Ok to save settings.
Pop mail accounts only look at Inbox and download whatever has not been previously downloaded regardless of whether it has been read or not. They cannot access nor download from any other folder on the server.
If you wanted to download emails in other fodlers, you would have to move emails into the Inbox in order to download them and this may not be very practical in your situation.
What you can do is synchronize your IMAP folders to get a copy downloaded to your IMAP mail account.
Then go into 'offline' mode to stop any further synchronizing as synchronized folders do get updated.
MozBackup tool could now be used to backup the Profile as synchronising created mbox files which contain emails.
You can also do the following to get a copy outside of the IMAP mail account:
Create the same folders in 'Local Folders'.
Then right click on email and 'copy to' and select Local Folders and the folder you require.
Putting a copy in Local Folders means these emails are also on your computer and they are not influenced by anything you do in the IMAP folders.
You would need to backup emails in these folders.

How can I get Entourage to stop downloading old emails again and again?

Hi all,
I hope this is an appropriate forum to ask a question re using Entourage in Office 2004 for Mac. I have been using this email client successfully for several years. Suddenly, after being out of the country for about 1 month and gone from my home computer, when I launch Entourage it begins to download 5-6000 old emails from several accounts. It has been doing this about once every 7-10 days. This has happened 3 or 4 times since I returned.
I have tried rebuilding the Entourage application several times and this does not help. I have also updated to Leopard and this has made no difference in the Entourage problem. When I initially returned there were a large number of emails to download since I had left them on the server even though I was traveling with a laptop. I am wondering if this has anything to do with the problem? I would greatly appreciate any assistance or suggestions anyone has to offer. Thanks, John

Never mind. I figured it out for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard:
If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3:
If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:
if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
Choose Reset Sync Services.
Click Reset Sync History.
Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

Cannot open emails from Hotmail

I am having trouble opening emails from Hotmail in the Mail tool. I have other email accounts that are working fine. It worked prior to yesterday. The various messages that I have seen are:
"Cannot get mail"
"Cannot connect to server"
Even old messages that I had previously viewed are not available. When I try to open them, I just get the "Loading . . ." message.
I am also seeing this same problem with the same account on my iPad.

This seems to fit. I use Outlook. I sent a test email and it went through fine. My Inbox seems to be working now, but other folders are not. Thanks for the quick reply!

HT5361 I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do this by year instead of laboriously doing it one message at a time?

I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do so by year rather than slowly removing one message at a time? Many thanks.

Another option is to create a smart mailbox that includes emails with date received before a desired date.
Then, select one message in the Smart Mailbox and cmd-A to select all. Then delete.
