Hotmail account not working on Yosemite's Mail app

I've tried everything I've found on the internet so far trying to get my hotmail account to work the way it was before my update to Yosemite, with no success. A few days ago it stopped syncing messages properly, and now it just shows them as downloading but it never finishes the syncing.
I even left it working overnight with the mail app open, nothing else, prevented from going to sleep mode or shutting down, and it kind of worked, downloading some of the messages that were pending, but others just won't do it no matter what. I've tried Deleting the Account, restarting and Adding it again, also tried changing the imap server information to different options I've found, no difference.
I also tried Outlook for Mac with all my accounts, and the hotmail account seemed to work better which means the problem is between Mac Mail and the Hotmail account itself. The problem is I don't want to use Outlook for Mac because showed other problems with my Gmail accounts, which renders it unsuitable to handle all my mail accounts. Apple Mail was flawless until my update to Yosemite, not cool.
Does anybody have the same issue?
Thanks!

Same here.  I, too, have tried everything, including removing and re-adding the Hotmail account and SMTP servers, rebooting, you name it.  Some folders seem to sync sometimes, but some do not ever.  The main inbox does not sync at all.  In addition, the problem seems to be strictly with Apple Mail on my iMac and MacBook Pro.  The issue does not occur on my iPhone 6 or iPad Mini.  I was very pleased with Apple Mail until now.

  • TS3899 Hotmail account not working in iPhone 5 mail app

    At first I thought it was a COS, College of the Sequoias,  as in the college I'm going to,  Hotmail situation BUT  it turns out it's a Hotmail in general situation because my other Hotmail account doesn't show my inbox or sent mail at all. I sent up my Hotmail account properly, go to it on the mail app, click on it and the inbox is empty. So is the sent box. Go to hotmail on the browser..there's all my mail! Just not in my Hotmail account in the mail app! I tried to set  my Hotmail account on Jennifer's iPhone 4S.. No luck. Same thing happened when I tried on mum's iPad!
    The strange thing is my COS hotmail account WAS set up on their BEFORE then iOS6 update just flawlessly. I get my iPhone 5 and decide to delete my email accounts from the iPad now that I have my phone. When hotmail decided to go all wonky I tried resynchronize my COS hotmail on the iPad again because I know it worked there. But I had updated the software since then. Thus it not working now!
    My gmail and yahoo accounts  are working flawlessly on my mail app however the Hotmail..not so much! I've been doing some research on the net..could the update be the problem?? If so, I can't wait for the iOS 7 software update!

  • I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my iMac

    I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my IMac but works absolutely fine on my Iphone 5. Can anyone help with the setup for iMac. I am with BT for my Broadband. I am cionverned if I route my Hotmail accoutn to GMail will iy stop working on my Ipone.

    How are you accessing Hotmail?  Via your web browser?  Are you using Apple Mail?  Outlook?
    The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
    If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
    The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
    Incoming server: pop3.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    POP port: 995
    Use SSL to connect : yes
    The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
    Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
    Use SSL to connect : yes

  • Mail with Hotmail account not working.

    I use my Hotmail from the Mail app and days ago it requested me my password again so I typed it CORRECTLY and it doesnt logs in, it keeps saying me "The Hotmail POP server “pop3.live.com” rejected the password for user "[email protected]" "
    I already tried logging in from the web page and it works perfectly fine with the same password.
    What is the problem? Someone help !
    Thanks!!!!!

    you're password is too long, for some reason mail tends to do weird stuff if your password is too long, i had the same issue and changing the password to something shorter worked (using 10 characters now)
    Hope this fixes your problem,
    Alex

  • Mbox hotmail account not working

    I have just completed the latest software download on my iPhone and now I can't use my mbox hotmail account. Not able to get or send any emails. Can anyone help?

    I just checked my two hotmail accounts and they work fine. I actually had not used them in probably a year, so I had to set them up in MAIL. (Hotmail seems to attract a lot of spam) No problems here.
    One thing that sometimes helps when there's a corruption of some sort is to delete the account (but back up your e-mail first) and then set it up again from scratch.
    I had a big problem with the Keychain about a year ago. It was really corrupted bad. I forget what I finally did to correct the situation, but I believe there is a Tech support article on this very subject on Apple's web site.
    Good luck.

  • Rules not working any more in mail.app

    Hello,
    in my MBP yosemite ( Exchange mail ), I configured some rules. They used to work fine . But since this morning, I noticed that my rules are not working any more.
    I checked on console log and noticed the Assertion Failure when applying manually the rules :
    Dec 19 10:35:42 Ph3NyX Mail[1382]: *** Assertion failure in -[MFEWSStore _copyMessagesByID:toStore:settingFlags:newMessages:error:], /SourceCache/Mail/Mail-1993/MailFramework/EWS/MFEWSStore.m:337
    Dec 19 10:35:42 Ph3NyX Mail[1382]: exception raised in routeMessages: Destination store does not have a folder ID
    Can you please help me to fix this ?
    Thanks a lot.
    Best regards,
    Omega BK

    I don't know if its connected but I also just noticed a problem. In my case all the rules I had set have changed so that they apply after 7days (rather than the 30 days I had originally set). I can't get them to change back no matter how may times I try.

  • Hotmail accounts not working on iPhone 6 - IOS 8.3?

    I've realised over the last few days that I've not been getting emails on my iPhone, they do still come through on my Mac.  I read a few threads that seem to put it down to the new IOS upgrade, but I can't remember when I upgraded to IOS 8.3 and when the emails stopped coming, but it does seem quite coincidental.
    I thought I delete the accounts on my iphone but it won't let me, it just keeps hanging with the screen showing deleting, but it doesn't delete.  I have to force a quit out of settings to get out of the screen.
    I also tried sending an email from each account to see if it would work but it also hangs on sending at the bottom of the screen.
    My iPhone 6 is only a few weeks old and I'm not sure what I'm meant to do now.  Why can I not delete the email accounts?  Why has my iPhone stopped sending and receiving them?
    Any help very much appreciated!

    HI, I would like to help you with this FaceTime issue. Can you expand on the problem please?

  • Reply and forward not working in full screen mail app

    In the full screen version of the Mail application in Lion I can't reply or forward any messages.  I have to go back to the old view in order to respond to mail.  Is anyone else having this problem and if so, is there a fix?  The full screen apps and new mail program were a major reason I upgraded..

    I regularly experience the same problem. It also occurs with Compose.
    Sometimes Compose, Reply and Forward work fine in full screen mode. But frequently they don't, and I have to exit full screen mode to regain functionality. I have not been able to detect any pattern.

  • My handoff phone call does not work with Yosemite while other apps are working

    I have upgraded to Yosemite and tried the handoff with my iPhone 6. First time I tested phone call which worked. I switched off the Mac and went out. When I came back the handoff phone call didn't work anymore, while Safari, Email, etc. are still working via handoff.
    Thanks for any help in advance

    The iPhone calling feature is not called, "Handoff." Using the terminology incorrectly only adds to the problem. "Handoff," is the feature where apps share documents.
    Both "Phone" and "Handoff" are separate features under "Continuity."
    This is "Handoff":
    This is "Phone" calling:

  • Reminders App does not work on Yosemite with two iCloud accounts.

    The Reminders App does not work on Yosemite (10.10.1) with two iCloud accounts. It seems like when there are two iCloud accounts connected in Yosemite (10.10.1) the plist file for Reminders disappears.
    I have tried restarting Reminders; restarting the mac; starting the mac in recovery mode to repair the disk and disk permissions; and starting the mac in recovery mode and reinstalling OSX.

    Yes sharing Reminders list works. The problem is, I have one shared iCloud account with a colleague (shared calendar, Reminders and email). It makes it easier to run our business with a single shared iCloud account...I know it's not the typical usage.

  • My iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case.  Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

    my iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case.  Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

    How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled on your computer with Lion or later, or did it come with Snowleopard on system installer disks?
    Which version of iPhoto?
    If you have a version of iPhoto '11 and it is showing on the Purchased tab of the App Store, with your Apple ID, then delete iPhoto from the Applications folder  (don't empty the Trash) and download iPhoto again from the Purchased tab.
    If that does not work, contact The App Store Support  from the Quick Links on the AppStore main page.
    Only apple Support can fix problems with apple ID.

  • Why is Hotmail Calendar not working with latest version of Firefox

    I was prompted to load the 'latest' version of Firefox this morning, which I duly did. Since then my Hotmail account has worked fine for send and receive but I cannot access my calendar. Screen simply says "loading...." and never actually loads.
    I have shut my lap top down fully and rebooted but the situation remains the same.
    I have 2 Hotmail accounts and this problem is the same for both. Please could you advise.

    iSight is the camera.  I expect you mean that Skype will not recognize the camera.
    (1) Did you restart Mac and try again?
    (2) Did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions before and after installing Skype?
    (3) Because Skype is your only problem app, have you checked Skype support such as
       https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10931/   and
       https://support.skype.com/en-us/category/VIDEO/
    There are Skype-specific tips there that may help you.
    Do NOT add any drivers.  All needed iSight driver software is included in your OS X 10.6.8
    You can also search Skype's dedicated forum for Mac http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/bd-p/Mac
    (4) Your first download or install may have been faulty.  If you have not already done so, try downloading the latest Skype version again and reinstalling? Remember to repair permissions before and after the reinstall.

  • I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail

    Can anyone help?
    I have been using my hotmail account to send/share photos on iPhoto. Recently I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail?
    What do I need to do to get the hotmail account working again?

    In iphoto I select the photos to send, click on share and email. I setup the email in iphoto and iphoto sorted out all the pop3 & SMTP settings all i had to do was put my email & password in. Since its gone wrong I have got an ipad but no changes to my email settings.
    I have been looking at the 'mail' which is also setup for hotmail and I can't send emails from there either so i don't think there is a problem with iphoto.

  • Scan to network folder will not work for Yosemite

    Scan to network folder, which is supposed to allow the unit to scan and save to a shared directory on a remote computer, does not work in Yosemite,  though it will work on Macs sporting earlier OS on same network. 
    HP personnel have indicated that HP does not support Apple Mavericks. One can only assume then that it will not work on Yosemite either
    Yet these units are still being sold to be used with Apple OSX.
    Please resolve HP's position.  If these units will not function properly under Mavericks and Yosemite, please explicitly say so.  The scan to network feature should not have anything to do with any OS issue, and it is much more likely that the issue is faulty HP firmware.
    If these units are supposed to fully function under Mavericks and Yosemite,  please provide substantive resolution of the many many problems users have experienced.
    The Scan to Network feature is what makes using these units viable as scanners. The fact that this works poorly at best, and not at all on any recent Apple OS, is simple acceptable

    IT IS OFFICIAL
    HP Case Manager has indicated that HP is abandoning Scan to Network Folder starting with Yosemite as OS security constraints present issues with using its current transport.
    Of course this took an hour of double talk and fiddling about before the admission was forthcoming...
    Shall we count the days until that information actually shows up in the forums?
