Hotmail account set up?

Hello
I am using Hotmail account. I have trouble setting it up the mail account successfully, would you mind help?
Thank you!!
Shally
p.s. would you mind show me how to find out the Model of my computer??

Well first off, you can find out the model and all the rest of the info about your computer using the Apple(logo) drop down menu at the top menu bar, and the first option will be 'About This Mac' click on that and then click on the 'more info' button and you'll see all there is to see.
And as far as helping you set up your mail...
Try this. It will be a POP account.
type in your e.mail address where it says address. [email protected]
Then, your full name.
then incoming mail server, should be...
mail.hotmail.com
then enter your username, which is whatever comes before @hotmail.com
Then the password.
And then the outgoing will be this...
smtp.hotmail.com
Then it will ask you your username and password again for that, enter them in and then save them so they'll always be logged in. Keychain the password that is.
I have never tried using a free net account for Mac Mail, but if it is able to work, this will get you through it.
Let me know if you run into any problems...

  • My hotmail account set up on my iPad is syncing all previous messages, some which are around 5 years old.

    I have set up my hotmail account on my iPad using IMAP settings. Using this approach gives me the ability to sync all mail folders including Junk. During the setup, I am not given the choice to decide how far back do i want to go back with my previous emails.The account got set up without any issues but the end result: Mail has now synced almost 2000 messages from my inbox, some being almost 5 years old leading to extra space being used up.
    How can I change this so that my iPad onlydownloads recent messages (last 5 days maybe)? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    > I have just heard from Toshiba indicating that there could be three reasons for this problem:
    >It could be a faulty keyboard, a system board fault, or a corrupt BIOS."
    I dont think its keyboard or BIOS issue.
    Why?
    Because usually an faulty keyboard does not prevent the notebook from booting up. The POST should be passed properly but the keyboard would not work.
    BIOS issue?
    I dont think so since the BIOS cannot be muddled up without re-flashing the EPROM module.
    Therefore the issue can be related to the motherboard as well as connected parts like RAM modules.
    > Someone has suggested that if the RCT battery fails it could cause a problem similar to this one, is that possible?
    I dont think so. Low of faulty RTC battery leads only to BIOS data loss (date, time, etc)
    But the unit should still be able to power up.
    > Toshiba has also said that if I cannot make any further progress I will have to send the laptop to them for troubleshooting and repair and I would imagine they will replace the motherboard and charge me more than the computer is now worth.
    Well, before replacing any parts, you could ask for cost estimation but in case of motherboard issue the fix can be very expensive.

  • How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

    Cheers,
    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

  • How do I change email account on iTunes set up. I don't have access to  hotmail account  used to set up (got jacked and it's to big of a pia to mess with ). I have had an iPhone for several years

    Try heading here. Click "Manage your account", login and change your primary email address. You'll then be sent a confirmation email to your new primary address that will ask you to verify it as your own. Click the link, log in, and you're done.

    I Sugges you to log into your hotmail acc and go to security and password change bit, then you will see two-step verification.. turn that off and you will be able to set it up on your iPhone/iPad or even Mac.
    Give your phone a restart before trying to set it up. Thanks

  • Can I set up a normal Hotmail account as an Exchange account?

    Hi all,
    Since I have had multiple problems with push on my iPhone, I want to know if I can set up a normal Hotmail account as an Exchange account, since they don't have this problem with push.
    Can somebody tell me if this is possible and how I do it?
    Thank you!

    Yes you can.  Settings>>>Mail>>>Add Account>>>Microsoft Exchange---Email (your hotmail address) Domain (ignore) Username (your hotmail address), Password (your hotmail password) Description (what you want to call the mail account)>>>Next---Server (m.hotmail.com)>>>Next----Choose what you want to sync>>>Save.

    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.

  • HT1694 My hotmail access disappeared from my iPad. When I go to settings and click 'mail, contacts, calendars' the page freezes. It doesn't allow me to the account setting. Anyone have suggestions?

    Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
    1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. 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.
    3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
