Hotmail and mail

I'm using the "Apple Mail" e-mail programme to send and receive e-mail. As far as I knew any e-mail I sent was being received by the recipient if I did not get an undeliverable message back. Until recently I did not know I had a problem.
Guess I was wrong.
I have just re-made contact with a friend in Spain. Apparently we have been sending each other e-mails for some time and wondering why the other has not replied.
My friend uses 'hotmail' and has not received any of my e-mails. Also, another friend in Canada has just told me of not getting an e-mail from me. There may be others. Seems I have no way of knowing.
Yet I occasionally do get e-mails from hotmail users!
A discussions forum mentions installing a "HttpMail Plugin Version Tiger 1.48 by Daniel Parnell". This I have done but the problem remains.
A review of dozens of the 'hotmail' related topics in 'Discussions' did not reveal a problem quite like mine. Maybe I missed it!
Any help will be most appreciated.

Hello Peter.
Not too long ago this was reported by others using the Mail.app when sending messages to a Hotmail email address only.
No undeliverable email error message was received from the Hotmail incoming mail server indicating a sent message was not accepted by the server (which means it was accepted by the server) but the messages were not available to the recipient for download, not marked as spam and basically disappeared.
Many contacted Apple and Microsoft who quietly indicated/admitted to some this was a programing error at the incoming mail server (an Apple employee also informed me that Microsoft admitted to Apple this was caused by a programing error at the incoming mail server) which seemed to be resolved in a short period since I haven't seen the same reported here in a long time.
This is a Microsoft problem so you need to contact Microsoft or Hotmail technical support.

Hotmail and Mail on Mac

I read other posts on how to get the mail program to access hotmail. There are two users on my computer and I got it to work on one of the users but not the other. Do I have to do something else to get it to work for two users? Thanks!

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

Hotmail and Mail Synchronisation: Deleted Emails

Hi Everyone, I purchased my first MacBook in September 2008, which is essentially the same as the MacBook Pro and I purchased it within the time it was called MacBook only! In September 2013, where I was operating my old MacBook on the newest system available, it crashed and wouldn't restart anymore - turns out the memory is broken and needs to be replaced (error noise and grey screen, when starting the MacBook). However, now I urgently need some Email and Photo data from that MacBook and therefore did an imaging of the harddrive in order to copy all the data and am now experiencing the following problems:
1. Hotmail Mails - After Synchronisation with the Mail application, all emails deleted themselves on the Microsoft servers online and therefore could not be synchronised from the hotmail servers themselves and is solely stored on my old MacBook. When I tried to open and find the data on the copied files on my new MacBook via a harddrive, I could not access the mail folder because it simply was inexisting within the Mail application itself - please can you help me find a way to restore those old Mail items?
2. iPhoto - I secured my iPhoto library with Macfort and can't remember what my Macfort password was

Log into your webmail on a browser and delete them from there.

I cannot open any of my Hotmail e-mail messages, delete them, look at other ones, nothing. All I can do is sign in and that is it.

I cannot open any of my Hotmail e-mail messages, delete them, look at other old ones, nothing. All I can do is sign in and that is it. I have tried deleting cookies, clearing the cache space, rebooting the computer, rebooting my internet connection, refreshing the page several times. Here is the thing. I can get on the page and read my mail, etc. like normal if i use Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox. The problem is Firefox and I rely on my e-mail for job purposes. I hope someone can help me!!!

Nevermind. I finally found a third party answer and will post it for anyone else with my problem.

When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in?

It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.

Hi - I cannot upload my emails through the mail icon. The first time I tried it only loaded very old emails, I then tried the whole process again and it has not imported a single email. I use hotmail, and have had no problems with my iPhone or iPad.

Hello, do you mean Download?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

HT1277 I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem

hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?

it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
same for SMTP

Mac Mail with Hotmail and iPhone

So I have been searching around for hours and I have a few problems with syncing my Mail with my iPhone.
1) I have a iPhone 4s and a macbook pro. I have an email account set up on my mac mail that I want to sync with my iPhone. The problem is it is a hotmail account. The issue is I want my emails to be marked as read no matter where I read the message. What is happening is that I am reading my emails in the morning on my mac and then when I open the same email on my phone I have to go through and delete and read the same messages. Is there a way to set it up so that both my mac and my phone sync to the same unread and read messages?
2) My iPhone no longer shows me the red unread messages alert in the corner of the icon. It dings when I get an email but the icon does not alert me anymore. Any ideas why this would be gone?
Thanks

I was able to go through a long and tedious process but it looks like with some tips and trick I have managed to set up a system that works with iPhone being IMAP and Mac Mail being POP. I am making sure my messages remove the copy from the server after I move them from the inbox. This works because once I delte or move it to a folder it deletes off of hotmail and then updates my phone that hotmail messages has been removed. It is a annoying work around but it seems to work at this point.
This is what got me closest.

Hotmail and Yahoo Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers

Does anyone know what the incoming and outgoing mail servers are for hotmail and yahoo? I'm trying to put them into my mail account, and can't seem to figure out which one (pop or imap) to use.
Thank you!
-Kat

If you are not using the paid (plus) accounts for Yahoo and Hotmail, they do not support access through email client applications like Mail, etc.
For Hotmail, you may have success with the HttpMail Plugin if your account is old enough.
For Yahoo-and Hotmail if it doesn't work with the plugin-you can use MacFreePOPs.

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.

Mail App and Hotmail Junk Mail

Hello,
I've been trying to find the quickest way to delete the junk mail from my hotmail junk mail. I tried selecting all and deleting and I'll get an error message that says it can't delete, then I tried to mark all as read first, and then deleting all and this didn't work. If I delete one by one it works, but takes too long since 100+ emails go to it almost daily. I right tapped on the folder and didn't see much there. I checked Mail preferences also. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated -- thank you

Hi Eric, I've been applying rules on a daily basis, and I'm still getting about 25-30 per day and a portion of these coming from the same offender. I've been following your instructions from your screen shot to a Tee and the emails still keep pouring in. One of the email addresses ([email protected]) keeps coming through and I've blocked and created rules for those daily as well as the others also. How do they do this? I see they have plenty of sneaky tricks up their sleeve - Is creating Rules the only solution, or is there something more effective to do about this? Whoever they are, they are many steps above us, and I can't figure it out. To do this every day is lots of extra work, but less work than deleting them one by one (also, I tried to delete by selecting ALL in one sweep, and this didn't work). I was wondering, what happens if I don't do anything and let them accumulate into the thousands and beyond, does it matter, and would this slow things down in the mail app? At least it goes in the junk mail folder and bulk mail folder instead of in my in box. Any other tips and suggestions you may have would be much appreciated!

Mail doesn't put relevant conversations into a conversation. Could this be due to using hotmail and therefore a POP server?

I recently downloaded Lion and was wondering why the conversations in mac mail wasn't working properly. My relpy to the message goes into the conversation, but then the reply from the other person opens as a new message not in the same conversation. Is there a setting I am unaware of?
Could this be becasue I use hotmail and a pop server?

No, this is because Mail is programmed with rigid, inappropriate rules for grouping messages in conversations. There are no settings that can modify either the rules for grouping or the grouping after applying the rules. Mail thinks it's smarter than you are and won't listen to any arguments to the contrary.

Since ios 6 update hotmail fetches or push on its own. I have hotmail set to manual. Best I can tell its only hotmail and not yahoo. Is this a known problem? How do I make hotmail stop checking for mail when I have it set to manual?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
