im not really sure what I've done wrong..
help

Looks like your outbound (sending) mail connection is pointed to Hotmail's POP3 server (for you to read mail) instead of their SMTP server (for you to send mail).
You should be fetching mail from pop3.live.com and sending it to smtp.live.com. See
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/outlook/send-receive-from-app
"Outgoing (SMTP) Server
Server address: smtp.live.com
Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)
Authentication: Yes
TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes"
You can change this, but the setting is buried a few levels down.
1. Go to Mail > Preferences... > Accounts > {yourhotmailacct} > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
2. Pull down to Edit SMTP Server List...
3. Select the server line that says pop3.live.com
4. Select the Account Information tab.
5. Change Server Name to smtp.live.com.
You may also need to adjust settimgs in the Advanced tab to match the above while you are there.

  • I can send photos TO my MacBook Pro from my iPhone 5S using AirDrop but not vice versa.

    I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Pro, which has AirDrop enabled and is available in Finder and I am using iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5S.  I can send photos to my MacBook Pro using AirDrop from my iPhone but I cannot send photos to my iPhone from my MacBook Pro using AirDrop.  I have to email the photos to myself via email.  Is there anyone else having a problem with this or does anyone have any advice on how to fix this problem?  When dragging a photo to my listed iPhone in AirDrop on my MacBook Pro I simply get an error notification, which is very frustrating.  Thank you for your time.

    Sorry, please disregard this. My roommate rebooted the router while I had stepped outside and now it's all running again.
    At least this will be a possible option for anyone else that has this problem

    would much appreciate it if anyone has any ideas.
    thanks

    So you are saying that if you go to Menu > Applications > Mail > scroll down to Settings > select Mailbox > Mailbox settings - you can't access "Advanced mailbox settings" at bottom of screen?

  • Email WONT send - sits in outbox folder

    For some reason, although I can send email, my outgoing emails will NOT send - instead they stay in the outbox. Any idea how to fix?! THX!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please clarify this confusion:
    Your subject line - "email WONT send - sits in outbox folder"
    Where you say -- "although I can send email"
    And finally where you say -- "my outgoing emails will NOT send - instead they stay in the outbox"
    So that's two votes for failure, and one for success. Can you clarify please?
    Thanks!

  • Wie kann ich Outlook mails im .msg Format öffnen (MacBook Pro)

    Wie kann ich Outlook mails im .msg Format öffnen (MacBook Pro)

    Siehe bitte diesen Apple Support Artikel:
    iPhoto: Mediatheken gemeinsam mit anderen Benutzern verwenden
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198?viewlocale=de_DE
    "Wir nutzen aber zusammen unter "für alle Benutzer" eine iPhoto Mediathek."
    Diese Methode klappt nicht mehr für die neuen MacOS X Versionen. Das einzige, was gut klappt, ist die Mediathek auf einer eigenen Festplatte oder Partition einer Platte anzulegen und für diese Festplatte/Partition die Markierung zum Ignorieren der Zugriffsrechte zu aktivieren. Das wird in dem obigen Artikel gut erklärt.
    Eine eigene externe Festplatte ist ohnehin nicht schlecht - auf diese Weise ist viel Platz für die Bilder da.
    -- Léonie
    Auf jeden Fall würde ich die Zugriffsrechte für die Mediathek nochmals reparieren, bevor sie auf eine eigene Platte oder Partition verschoben wird:
    Siehe diesen Artikel:

    Und zwar den Abschnitt in dre zweiten Hälfte, "Mediathek – Erste Hilfe" - verfahre wie: "Zugriffsrechte Reparieren".

  • Is there a way I can get send iMessages from my Macbook Pro?

    I just got My first Macbook Pro and am still trying to figure out how to use it.  I have seen that m friend can send and recieve his text messages on his Macbook Pro and I cant figure out how to get that. When I tried using messages it send it from my email not my phone number.

    First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
    With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS  you are running. What is the version?
    A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
    If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Problems with emailing video from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro

    Hi all you helpful people,
    I have taken some short videos on my iPhone, and have tried to email to my Macbook Pro. The email is received but there is not attached video.
    I then downloaded the videos to iPhoto. The option to email the video does not come up at the bottom of the iPhoto screen. On File / Export it only brings up the options for exporting still photo files, eg jpeg.
    I then dragged the video file to my desktop and opened a new mail message, and attached the video.
    However, it won't send, the server times out. These are only short videos - some 5 sec long. I also can't now remove them from the quere to be sent on mail so everything is backed up behind them. Is there a way to clear them from the queue?
    Surely it can't be this difficult? Am I missing something simple?
    All help gratefully received!
    Thanks.

    Go to itunes. right click on your phone. select back up. It will copy everything to your computer.
    Or you can read more about [how to transfer iPhone video to PC on Mac|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/Howto_transfer_videos_from_iPhone_to_iTunes_onMac].
    It can help you directly transfer iPhone videos to iTunes and manages iPhone on Mac.
    Hopefully this works for all of you like it just worked for me!

  • Trouble Sending Mail only from MacBook Pro

    I've got a MacPro and a MacBook Pro. The MacPro is connected via ethernet while the MacBook Pro is connected to the same network via WiFi. I can always connect to the internet on the laptop and also receive incoming mail, but cannot send mail using the Mail app on the laptop. No problems sending from the MacPro. Any ideas about what might be going on?

    ... one other piece of info - when I connect to the same home network with my iPhone, I can both receive and send emails on the same email account.
