Help with hotmail account

Hey y'all,
I'm having some issues with Mail. I don't have a mac.com account and I'm trying to setup mail to work with both my hotmail and outlook accounts. I setup the hotmail account but it won't let me send e-mail and I don't think I'm receiving it either. When I do the connection doctor it says it connects okay (green light) but it won't send anyway. Help? Would it just be better to get a mac.com account?

As I understand it, the free Hotmail account is purely webmail and isn't accessible from a mail client. You would need to subscribe to Hotmail Plus. You may also need the 'httpmail' plugin:

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
You need to setup the account on your computer first. Instructions for Windows Mail here.

For help with Hotmail scroll down to where you see this: *Web-based e‑mail and Windows Live Mail*
I'm just assuming you are running Windows since you want to set up Hotmail. Please click My Settings on the right side of this window and tell us which computer model and which operating system you are using. We need those details in order to assist you. Thanks!

Palm treo 680 Problems with hotmail account

I have a palm treo 680, have Problems with hotmail account, dont have configuration in versamail and when enter with the browser dont open documents, photos or videos. Thanks
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

IIRC, Hotmail is like Yahoo's free email - you have to pay for POP access.
If you aren't paying for a premium version of HotMail, it won't work correctly with VersaMail.

Even I cant believe this is happening again! i'm once again asking for help with my account. Since im very sick I ask that u look into my account and read the hell verizon has put me through and assist ending the hell once and for all even if that means

Even I cant believe this is happening again! i'm once again asking for help with my account. Since im very sick I ask that u look into my account and read the hell verizon has put me through and assist ending the hell once and for all even if that means ending my contract, i just want the hell over. I went into my bill tonight and the mess was still there I paid $110. that's what I owe

I guess I spoke too soon! I really can't believe this nightmare is not over yet! My account is still wrong. The credit that I was due totaled $63.00 I am looking at a message on my phone saying that $21.01 was credited which makes my balance $219.72. I received a text the following day that says, I processed your credit of $30.00 and your new balance $216.73 how is that possible? None of the late fees were credited and the amount due for my monthly charges are wrong. Before any changes were made to my data plan back in Nov. My monthly charges were $140.00, I needed my hot spot back and i was told that the hot spot will increase my bill $10 for each phone that totals $20. The customer rep that change my data plan at that time also gave me a credit of $20 to compensate for the increase until I had time to talk with customer service about the mix-up with my Hot spot. I originally had the hot spot, but the rep that change my plan almost a year prior told me nothing was changing except I was getting more for less money. I explained to that rep that I need my hot spot 4 times a year...and I don't want my plan to have any changes. To verify what I'm telling u check my account and see that I called from Albany New York wanting to know where my hot spot was and I was told I didn't have the hot spot on my account since the last data change! I lost money once again due to the verizon rep's. so my current data plan the rep promised would increase $20 which makes my monthly charges that were $140 prior to the change $160 after the hot spot was returned to my account. Then I was given a $12 credit per month for 12 months because of so many mistakes made to my account so with that $12 credit my monthly charges should $148 + surcharges + taxes and that's not what I see. I do know this much right now my account is in such a shambles I can hardly see the light at the end if there is an end! I need real help!

Signing in with hotmail account Problem

i just got an Iphone 4
i have two main problems
The first is i cant add my email (Hotmail) account in the Mail.
whenever i enter the email and the password, it give me this message:
"The user name or Password for "pop3.live.com" is incorrect"
im 100% sure that both email and pass are correct.
Note: I cant add my hotmail account but when i tried to add the live account its works!!
the other problem is, i downloaded windows live messenger ..
when ever i log in with hotmail account it give me incorrect email or password message .. although im entering it correctly !!
Note: it work with the live when i tried to log in with it but not hotmail account
Hope to fix it..

Try changing your password at hotmail. My problem may have been related to a password that was too long (14 chars I think), but after I changed it (11 chars, shorter, but secure) and tried again it worked.
I don't think length was the problem, maybe resetting it was the trick.

Mail has intermittent keychain password problems with Hotmail account

Most of the time Mail can access both my Me mail and Hotmail. However, since I moved from Tiger to Leopard Mail loses access to my Hotmail password and asks for it to be reentered to check for mail. If I don't do this I get the usual problem lightning bolt icon by mt Hotmail in-box in Mail. But when I click this and recheck for mail manually it works fine every time.
Is mail just not accessing my key-chain when it isn't the active application I'm running?

This is a common report with Hotmail accounts, but currently mine is staying connected. I think the prompt actually results from the checking the connection on the SMTP, rather than the Incoming Server, but not sure in every case. I have seen the problem in Mail 2.x, 3.x and 4.x. If it goes into a period of frequently giving the prompt, I change to exclude the account from auto checking for new mail, and then manually check for new messages.
That mine is currently working may be due to my changing the SMTP to that of my ISP rather than the one from Hotmail.

Problem with hotmail account please help.

Hi hope someone can help. Have problem receiving mail on iPad since last Friday. I have a hotmail account. It says unable to get mail, cannot connect to server. I can receive mail to my gmail account and my sons hotmail account. I deleted the account in iPad mail settings and then added it back in but still get message 'cannot connect to server'. Have also rebooted wireless router - it's working fine. Any suggestions appreciated....

I have exactly the same problem on both my iPad and iPhone. This happened after the upgrade to ios 7.0.6. I noticed that the SSL option disapeared in the advanced email account settings on the iPhone and iPad. But I could not figure out how to solve it....

Contact form Not working with Hotmail Accounts

Hi, I have a problem with all the sites i have built with Muse. If the customer filling in any of the contact form on the websites uses a hotmail email account ( [email protected] )
I get the following error message 'The server encountered a problem'
Ive read that this could be a problem with my third party hosting company but they assure me that this is being caused by an error on the form
Can anyone help with this please

Ok so i have sorted the issue myself with NO THANKS to adobe
Heres what everyone needs to do!
Go to the following file public html - scripts - form process.php
You then need to edit the following: ( line 103 )
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.2.0.284 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
This needs changing to the following:
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.2.0.284 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
The form will now work with hotmail, Gmail etc etc
Hope this helps anyone having the same problem

Mail App no longer connecting with Hotmail accounts

I have had my hotmail accounts connected to my Mail app on my iMac for years, no problem. As of yesterday the Mail App wil no longer connect with any of my hotmail accounts. It is connecting with my gmail accounts.
The error message I get is: "UNable to receive Mail: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “EKRDL” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “pop3.live.com” refused to allow a connection on port 995"
Hep anyone? What is happening here?

You're welcome.
How the heck did you figure that one out?!
I didn't, actually. Someone else in this forum (and probably other people in other forums as well), figured it out by looking at the changes introduced by the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update, and checking his/her own settings accordingly:

Sending Calender Meeting Invites no longer working with Hotmail account

BlackBerry 9700
v6.0.0.461
I use Hotmail email
I think this started to fail when I upgraded to the new OS. When I create a new Calender appointment, it no longer shows up in my hotmail calender. If I invite attendees, all they get is a blank email, they no longer get a proper meeting request in their Outlook inbox.
However, if they send me a meeting invite, it is properly recognized on my blackberry.
As best I tried scouring the internet looking at various BB forums, I went into options and deleted my Hotmail email account on the phone. I set it up again and it does not fix the problem.
As far as I can tell, my hotmail account is a now typical account that has pop3 access.
Thanks.
EDIT: I removed the Hotmail account and added a GMail account. The GMail account workes totally fine with meeting invites. Also, after the creation of the GMail account, there is now a second inbox icon on my BB home screen. This icon is an envelope like the original one but also has a graphic of the world over-layed on top of it that resembles the Browser icon.
However.... my real problem remains... I need this to work with my Hotmail.com address.

Today I noticed that this same thing is happening to me, but with the GMail account... From the other four accounts works fine, but when the appointment is to Google Calendar, the "Atttedees" box dissapears!

Help with Suspended Account

I need help with my suspended account. I had some problems and missed my arrangement date. Now, my account is suspended and the 611 number isn't working. Can a rep call me?

The only way to restore your account is to bring it current. A rep can't call you if your phone is suspended.
You can private message with your contact and account information and someone can get in touch with you.
