Hotmail accounts in Mail - automatically recalling email addresses

I've managed to link two hotmail accounts to MAIL yet when i switch between inboxes in mail and start a new message, it is only picking up email addresses from one of the accounts (the first one I linked).
If I type the start of an email address into the 'TO' area it starts to suggest email addresses from the first account - but none from the second account.
Other than adding email addresses to the address book, is there anyway to have MAIL automatically pick up email addresses from both accounts?
Many thanks, S

Mail will only autocomplete an address that you've previously sent email to; it can't find addresses from Hotmail. So unless you've used those addresses you're wanting to see in that particular account, they won't show up, no matter which account you use.
You can add them to Address Book, or you can just start sending email to all of them and then they'll be in the Previous Recipients list the next time.

I think I have opened the sobig.f virus in my hotmail account and it keeps seding emails to my contacts. How do I stop it, and will it effect any of my other transactions like internet banking/shopping, is it safe?

This isn't due to malware. There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad that has not been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store).
As lizdance40 says, your Hotmail account has been hacked remotely. Change the password immediately. Hotmail accounts are popular targets, but as long as you choose a good password, and make sure that password is not the same as a password you use with any other account, you should be safe.
I disagree with lizdance40's statement that you have to abandon the account and create a new e-mail address. If a hacker is able to get back in even after changing the password, the problem is not with the account itself. There's another vulnerability of some kind somewhere. Perhaps the account allows hackers to leave a "back door" to get back in (such as with GMail's delegation feature), in which case any such feature needs to be reviewed and have settings changed. Perhaps you are checking mail in an insecure manner while on an insecure network (ie, a wireless network that requires no password). Perhaps you are using a password on multiple accounts, and a different account has been compromised. Perhaps a hacker has used knowledge gained by prior access to your account to achieve "social hacking" (ie, convincing a tech to give him access because he has "forgotten the password"). There are many scenarios, but there's no good reason to abandon the account entirely.

Niggly problem with Hotmail - Sending from a third party email address

I need true push email on my BlackBerry, but also need access from a PC and need to send from my own email address. The easiest way I've found to do this is to forward all emails to my own address to a Hotmail address and use Hotmail as my main provider. Everything works as it should - I've got Windows Live Mail setup on my PC and all emails are sent to the BlackBerry the instant they're received. However, I've got a niggling problem with sending emails from the BlackBerry...
On the Hotmail website, I've set my own email address as the default "From" address and in Windows Live Mail, I've set my email address as my own address. So, if I send email from the Hotmail site or from Windows Live Mail, my own email address is used as the "From" address and not the Hotmail address. If I send email from the BlackBerry, it uses the Hotmail address as the "From" address and not my own address. I've set my own email address as the "Reply To" address in BlackBerry Internet Service but it still shows the Hotmail address. I can't see anyway to change this and it's the only problem I have...
I have tried the GoogleMail service, and this worked fine but every email I sent (either from Google Mail, Outlook or the BlackBerry) would copy itself to the BlackBerry and was getting a bit of a pain.
I have also tried Yahoo Mail but this wouldn't allow me to send email from another email address.
Any ideas from anyone? Either to allow emails sent from my BlackBerry to show my own email address as the "From" address, or to stop emails sent through Google Mail to copy themselves to the BlackBerry?

Hi,
I've had this sent items in my inbox, problem with Gmail. You can add a filter from the settings page of your gmail account. The filter should be applied to all emails from your email address [[email protected]] and skip the Inbox should be selected.
Have you tested the "Reply to" option properly? Send a mail from your BB to a friend and ask them to hit the reply button, see which account it goes to.

Setting up hotmail accounts in Mail

Hi, how do I go about routing my hotmail accounts to mail? It seems like a logical step to make. I've been through the account setup but Mail is not seeing the server.
I'm guessing its a pretty common request but I couldn't find any specific information on it, and I don't have time to trawl the forums all afternoon, So I thought I'd ask in a new thread.
Can anyone help?
Thanks....

Hotmail don't provide POP/IMAP access so you can't configure a standard email application (such as Mail) to use it without extra software.
izymail and httpmail plugin (have a google for them) claim to be able to offer services such that you can use hotmail with a standard email program.

Re: Mail only sending through one account
Sep 9, 2013 12:42 PM (in response to fishysammay)
I believe I found the resolution to this. Under Mail - Preferences, the outgoing mail server (SMTP) must be set for each individual account. Mine was originally all set under one, making all messages send from the same address. I had to re-enter my password in the settings for some of my accounts since there was login issues, but all in all it seems to be working.

Why I can't change on the settings ,I cloud ,advanced l, mail and then email address there I can't change ? Help please

You can't change that address by design, but Apple allows you to create another two addresses and use instead they call those aliases and you can create and use those different for different people with the same account. Instructions here

Adding Windows Live Hotmail account to Mail

Hi all
I've successfully set up my GMAIL account with Mail and everything is working fine. I'd now like to link my Hotmail account with Mail too. After clicking "File" --> "Add account.." and entering my Hotmail address and password, I am presented with security warning that the identify of "hotmail.com" can't be verified and am asked if I want to trust "lc2.bay0.hotmail.passport.com" when connecting to "hotmail.com".
I assume that it is probably safe if I DO trust the certificate and hence the problem may be solved, but just wanted to double-check before I selected anything.
Apologies if this may seem like a minor issue to you but this is my first Mac and I've only had it for a day!
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I would post a screenshot but it seems like images cannot be uploaded on this forum.

Hi,
I had the same problem and yes, I clicked on 'I trust the certificate'. The below link helped me set up my hotmail account in imail. I hope it works for you too.

Using my hotmail account with mail

thanks!

Please help me!!

What is the correct way to completely add a Hotmail account to Mail?

I'm trying to figure out the full and complete way of adding a Hotmail account to Mail. I've tried just using "Adding other mail account..." but it will only input mail and not contacts. Most of my contacts are stored in that email account (all phone contacts on my iPhone are stored on my Hotmail account). So yes, I can get mail, but is there anyway to sync contacts as well as mail?
Mail 7.3
OS X Mavericks 10.9.4

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

Cant add hotmail account to Mail on Iphone 4S

I have recently reset an old iPhone 4s 32gb for work purposes, and am trying to set up my email account.
Ive tried using the 'exchange' account however shows up saying "Outlook Account" Unable to verify account information.
So ive tried using other in the hopes of adding it, and its coming up saying - A WINDOWS LIVE HOTMAIL PLUS SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED TO USE HOTMAIL ACCOUNTS WITH MAIL. VISIT
GET.LIVE.COM/MAILPLUS/FEATURES FOR DETAILS. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS YOUR HOTMAIL ACCOUNT ON THE WEB AT MAIL.LIVE.COM
Ive tried visiting the above website and I get nothing, saying its offline or something.
I select Next, and it goes through the stage saying 'verifying' and it comes up with another pop up saying" The POP server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field. I select OK. I try and Re-Save the info, which goes through "verifying" again, and it comes up with;
Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
Yes or No?
My passwork is correct? I have no idea why this is becoming an issue, when before the reset everything was working perfectly.

Short answer: when you are in settings, add email account, scroll down to outlook.com and use this to enter your hotmail account. Hope it works for you.

HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

My original apple id is not an email address . I bought iCloud memory via that same account no problem. When setting up iCloud on iPad you cannot have a primary iCloud account unless it has an email address . Made new account but can you change originalI'

Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.

I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

Hello, I want to perform a simple task.I have two Adobe ID accounts linked to two different email addresses. One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage and i have not purchased anything with it. My other Adobe ID account is linked to an email i rarely use and don't particularly want to use. i have tried changing the linked email account to my regular one i use. But it obviously does not allow me because of it already being linked to my other non used obsolete Adobe ID account. Is there any solution to this?? Please help.
