Hotmail doesn't work

This is a test question, please ignore.

Not with a free account which Microslop prevents.
You must pay MS for the privilege to access a Hotmail account as an industry standard POP account with a Hotmail Plus or paid account.
Suggest to your wife that she dump that proprietary stuff for a Gmail account, which can be accessed as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail client and the same with any email client on your computer keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized between multiple email clients used to access the account. None of this is possible with a POP account. A Gmail account has plenty of server storage space with a good server based spam filter, IMAP account access and is free.

  • Why Hotmail Doesn't Work Properly Anymore???

    Hotmail recently upgraded their look and as a result, it doesn't work properly via my iphone when I use Safari. It tells me to upgrade my web browser to Safari, IE or Firefox, however my iphone has the newest upgrade available...........so what is the fix?
    In short, my hotmail doesn't work properly (Doesn't display emails in the preview pane) so I can't check emails essentially.

    See the post abut this that you posted in a few minutes ago. Allan has answered the question.

    Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
    - Incoming Mail Server and
    - Outgoing Mail Server
    To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

  • Hotmail doesn't work after IOS 4.3.4 update

    Hotmail stopped working immediately after the IOS 4.3.4 update. It worked before the update (e.g., I sent and received email successfully using my iPod Touch less than 5 minutes before updating). Now I get repeated errors saying "Exchange Account Unable to Verify Account Information." I've already deleted and recreated the mail account and also reinstalled the IOS 4.3.4 update with the same result. Has anyone already solved this Apple problem?

    Yes, hotmail still works perfectly via webmail on my laptop. The only place it stopped working was on the iPod and it was DEFINITELY broken by the software update. I used the iPod for email less than 5 minutes before the update installed.

  • The toolbar in hotmail doesn t work any more with firefox. what can i do?

    i have the 3.6 firefox version and everything was fine until yesterday. restart computer etc didn t help. the toolbar works under explorer

    Airplay still works on my two iPhones and iPad air so this isn't a universal problem. Did you try a reset of your iPad?
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Hotmail doesn't work for me anymore

    For some reason I can't open Hotmail anymore.

    After almost one week without being able to view my hotmail, I figured out the problem.
    I noticed the date of the first unread message I couldn't open and saw that it was the same day I installed the latest vDownloader... I uninstalled it and now everything is back to normal.
    If you are having problems check whether you installed any new software recently.
    Hope I have helped,
    Good luck ;)

  • Spellchecking doesn't work in hotmail

    I've recently changed my browser to firefox from internet explorer and now the spellchecker doesn't work in hotmail. It says the browser is checking the spelling automatically but it's not. I found a forum thread that told me to right click make sure there's a tick next to check spelling, but check spelling doesn't come up when I right click, neither does languages. I also went to about:config and there is already a 1 next to layout.spellcheckdefault.
    I've pasted the thread I used below
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I started using firefox

  • Left Click doesn't work in Hotmail or Yahoo

    I was running low on disk space and my IT dept said they deleted some "temporary files". Whatever they did hosed IE so that it reverted from v8 to v7. They redid the IE upgrade and installed a bunch of updates from MS and upgraded Java, but I'm still having a problem in FF. Most sites are fine, but when I go to Yahoo or Hotmail email, left click doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling FF. I've tried running FF in safe mode and reinstalling some of the plugins that I thought might possibly have an effect. I still can't get it to work. I've used some of the web dev tools in FF, all I can find out is some of the errors that are reported on page load. On Hotmail, one is that a var called "JQuery" is undefined, among others.

    I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

    both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
    doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
    it's = it is
    Mac Mail's fault = possessive
    any help with the actual issue? thanks!

  • When trying to read emails on hotmail on firefox, the "back" button on my mouse doesn't work right. It works fine if I use internet explorer. This started about three days ago.

    Also doesn't work right when I try to click on the inbox. I sometimes just get a blank screen. Seems to work fine on every other site except Hotmail.

    Nothing changed after clearing cashe and cookies and restarting in safe mode.

  • Hotmail doesn't open and says 'server not found' but all other websites work fine...

    My macbook won't open hotmail. It works on all other websites apart from hotmail. I have tried using safari to open it but it still didn't work. It comes up with the message 'Server not Found'. I have tried another computer in the house and it worked absolutely fine. I have cleared cookies and cache on the macbook which has not changed anything. Please help as this is rather an annoying situation to be in. Thankyou

    Are you using a bookmark or do you enter the website via the main entry (i.e. a link on the MSN page)?
    In the case of a bookmark, you may need to delete this bookmark and create a new bookmark.
    Is this also happening with the Windows Live (Outlook) login page:
    *https://mail.live.com
    *https://login.live.com
    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • Firefox: YouTube doesn't work, neither does Hotmail. What's wrong????

    I used to love my Firefox but lately it has become one big head ache. I have v3.6 since I had heard so many complaints about V4, and am always afraid to lose my beloved add ons (Sxipper, Morning Coffee) when I update. These are the things that make my daily life easier. Sxipper should be adopted by you guys since they are being faced out and is the best password option ever.
    Anyway, neither YouTube or Hotmail work on FF anymore. So am now being forced to use IE or Chrome, but I would love to keep my FF. None of the solutions offered for either problem have helped me.
    Now there is a V5? With a new look!?I don't want a new look I am happy with the one I have. You are becoming like Facebook always making changes that actually make it worse for your customers? WHY???

    I have the same problem.  Actually, it started when I switched the language on my iPhone to Spanish.  Because Siri doesn't work in Spanish, I switched back to English.  But the dictionary now is a mess.  So, I reset the dictionary, but that didn't help.  I tried restoring my iPhone but that didn't help either, I assume because when I restored, it picked up the bad dictionary.  I can't restore to an earlier date because I can't lose me texts.  But I am surprised that resetting the dictionary had no effect whatsoever.

  • Hotmail is not working under ISO 6.1.3 (iPad 3 or iPhone 4S)

    My Hotmail account is not working at all it all IOS 6 devices including IPad3, iPad4, iPhone4S and iPhone5 starting today. I get different messages like:  "Checking for mail" or Cannot Get Mail. This has never happend to me since I bought these devices last year. I have deleted the Hotmail account and added a new one without success. I have also rebooted the devices many times. I have tried to create the email account as a Hotmail or Exchange account.  It just doesn't work anymore.
    Two more pieces of info:
    - the Hotmail app doesn't work either
    - the only way to get into Hotmail is via a browser (Safari, Chrome)
    tks in advance.

    Seems to be a Hotmail issue.

  • I seem to have multiple problems related or unrelated.  I cannot use Apple Mail for blueyonder and mostly for gmail as both show that the server is off line.  My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with pop up windows on nearly every command

    Firstly I am unable to use Apple mail except for hotmail, for blueyonder, gmail or Sky as the server shows as (off line) and I have no idea how to get them on line even though I tell them to go there. 
    My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with advertising windows virtually on ever command I make, one seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from. 
    When I am in an email with a web link the web link doesn't work and I get a window saying that I must have a pop up blocker, but if I switch it off it is no different, what does work is switching the "enable Java script off", then when I get to the web site I can't use it until I switch the java script back on.
    I can't do a screen shot either full or partial, when I try it changes the web site that is on screen to another.
    So what have I done that might have caused problems, downloading Yosemite seemed to be the start of the problems.  Since then I have started to install Mackeeper, after checking with a family members who should know, that MacPaw is safe.  I decided that I didn't want to pay the subscription, so went through the uninstall instructions but it comes up as a pop up with considerable regularity.
    My stress levels have gone through the roof with pop ups happening so regularly and not being able to use Apple mail.o can anyone help please?
