Hotmail email delays

I setup hotmail or live email on my iphone, using the pop3.live.com, and the incoming mail is delayed many times. It is usually ok, but there are times that the incoming email is delayed a day, folks asking me if they got their emails. Intermittent.
How can I fix?
PS> my other pop accounts are fine, ie. optonline.net

I would suggest you follow the procedure from Techman28. I spoke to people all over Verizon world about this problem and got nowhere. Someone from Network Solutions was able to tell me I was blacklisted which was a blessing because I had no way of knowing. All I knew was some of my emails were delayed for 18 hours and others were never delivered. I am not sure who got mail and who didn't for the last month. My phone became my best friend again because it was the only way I could verify that people were hearing from me. I like to think I know a bit about this stuff but this is way over my head. Why, how, who, when are all questions I would like to have answered but until Techman came along no one from Verizon was useful. The people I spoke with had very little training and tried to blame me for the problem. I suspect this is much bigger than the 3 of us.

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

IPhone iOS 7 and Macbook Air Mavericks, deleting hotmail emails to POP folder! Help!

I have an iPhone using the iOS 7 and a Macbook Air using Mavericks (although I'm not sure how relevant this is) and both are set up to receive and send emails to my hotmail account.. Every so often (I think a month or so) I check my emails on either device to find that my hotmail emails have been deleted from my device. When I then log on to hotmail's website, they have been moved to a POP folder, so I then have to move my emails to my inbox and the phone and macbook start receiving them again, very strange! I assume somewhere the settings are wrong, on either my macbook or phone (or possibly hotmail itself). If you have any ideas, please help me, it's getting very annoying!
Thanks!

Hey lkpolovchik,
Thanks for the question. Yes, you can continue to use iCloud Contacts, Calendars and other services with OS X Mavericks and iOS 8 devices. Only some features require iOS 8. For a full list of minimum system requirements by feature, check out the following resource:

Hotmail emails in my inbox on the server but will not show up on my iPhone?

Help - I have hotmail emails in my inbox on my computer but they will not show up on my iPhone. I am using the "Windows Live Hotmail" option in the settings. The specific emails are not marked as junk, still in my inbox, they are addressed to me, they span about 2 weeks with some as recent as 3 days ago and are all from 3 specific people regarding my sons baseball team. I have tried deleting my account and setting it back up. I've added the email addresses to my contacts to see if that helped. I didn't have this issue when I used the generic pop 3 type of setup. I moved to the Windows Live Hotmail setup so when I delete an email from my iphone it also deletes it from the server. This is all working perfectly. I don't actually log into the server very often and almost missed this email. Thanks!
PS - this is an iPhone 4 that I have had for about a year. I am on iOS 5.0.1 and the phone says it is up to date....

When I open a hotmail email on my iPad, it doesn't show as opened when I go on my mac.

I am a fairly new owner of an iPad air. Am stumbling on a few issues, one of which is that when I open a hotmail email on my iPad, when I next go to my mac the same email displays as unopened. It means I am having to duplicate actions with emails. Can anyone help? Thank you.

I know nothing about Hotmail accounts, but if Hotmail is a POP email provider, what you are seeing is normal behavior for POP email. IMAP email accounts will sync across devices - whatever you do on one device is reflected on all devices. However, as I said, that is not how POP works. You have to read, delete etc. on each device.

Having a problem with Firefox using Hotmail email. Inbox - as checking messages it freezes up or a 1 item window follows cursor and does not allow you to enter

I am having a problem accessing Hotmail email messages via Fireflox server. When I am in the Inbox, reviewing messages, it either freezes up or a "1 item" small icon window follows cursor and does not allow me to enter messages or do anything. Have to log off and start over. Suggestions>?

Can you detect any pattern to it, whether related to messages with attachments, or particular advertising on the page, etc.?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
(Usually the dialog will refer to live.com rather than hotmail.com, that's normal.)
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

I can no longer attach files to my outgoing Hotmail emails. I only receive a message that an error has occurred. Help appreciated.

I can no longer attach files to my outgoing Hotmail emails. I only receive a message where I would expect the Upload to appear that an error has occurred.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Retina, 2 Ghz Intel Core i7, OS X 10.9.4
I have no difficulty attaching files to the outgoing Hotmails on the same account using my iPhone.
Help appreciated.

Thanks for this - not an immediate solution I fear but will keep unplugging stuff and restarting stuff.
To try and be clearer about the problem - I have in the last managed to send attachments successfully. Now I can send and receive plain email messages but get the error message when I try to attach an existing file to an email - not just a particular file but it would appear all files are being treated in the same way.
An experiment to send a mail to which an attachment has failed to upload got the following message alongside the SEND button
Files with errors will be removed from the email and not sent.
- but the mail alone was sent and received successfully. Thanks for any pointers you can give me.

I bought an Airport Express today. I can't connect to whatsapp or get hotmail emails now. What am I doing wrong?

I live at Uni, and our only access to the internet is through the ethernet ports in our wall. I got sick of not being able to use my laptop away from my desk, and draining my data while in my room. It works fine on my laptop (using it now) and both my iPad and iPhone 5 are connected however only certain apps work (weather, safari, facebook, etc) while retrieving hotmail emails and connecting to Whatsapp aren't possible.
How do I fix this?
On a side note, is it possible to bridge the wifi connection via my laptop to my Xbox 360?

HT1420 I previously purchased apps using my hotmail email address as my Apple ID.Now that hotmail has joined skype, I changed my email address to gmail & updated my email details on my Apple ID for my new Gmail account.How do I transfer previous purchases

I previously purchased several apps from the app store using my AppleID which was using my previous hotmail email address details. Now that hotmail is joined with Skype, I changed my email address to Gmail and then updated the information for my AppleID. Now when I view the purchase History using the new email
address to sign in to my AppleID, I cannot view the previous purchases which I had when I had a Hotmail account. I can only view recent purchases and furthermore I cannot print the list of items purchased. I have been able to download / update previous purchases and download them again by signing in with
my previous AppleID information but I want to know how I can transfer the information to my new account. Another problem I am having is that it shows there are 3 pages of purchases but I cannot view the 3rd page.

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

Exchange 2010 Internal Email Delayed for 5 Months

Here are is the msg header which has been modified to hide our domain. This is a small business with 12 users with SBS 2011. This isn't the first time this has happened either. Another user had email delayed for 3 months.

Hi
First i really doubt that you would be able to see those transactions in message tracking logs since the default setting is 30 days.
By default the message tracking log is set to 30 days, you can change that setting though through the Shell:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997984.aspx
If this is the case then you can better increase the tracking logs retention for 3 months for the next delay can be recorded.
Also try to see if you could see some information on the protocol logs as well.

I cannot open my Hotmail emails from Firefox. I have been on the hotmail Help Forum and they suggest to use Internet Explorer. Does Forefox not support Hotmail now?

Hi,
I can log into hotmail but cannot open my emails or go to Sent items or anything. I have gone on the Hotmail Help Forum and MANY people are having the same problem. Hotmail say we should use Internet explorer and they do not really answer about using Firefox.
People using Firefox 3 and 4 are having problems.
Also, i downloaded Forefox 4.0.1 and it was not fully compatible with Kaspersky - has this problem also now been resolved?
In summary - is Forfox 4.0.1 NOT comaptible with Hotmail and Kaspersky?

Sorry, I can't help with Hotmail, beyond clearing the cache - I haven't used it for 11 or 12 years now. Surprising that a Firefox 3.6 version would have trouble there, as 3.6 has been around for well over a year and Hotmail problems are usually with a recent release of Firefox.
IMO, if Hotmail support can't help you with Firefox issues on their website and can only recommend using IE, maybe it's time to change web mail service providers. My advice is to signup with a different web mail service, one that takes Firefox seriously. Then set up forwarding in your Hotmail account to have all your Hotmail emails forwarded to that new account. Then slowly transition your email contacts over to the new email address over time. As long as you log in to Hotmail every month or two, your account there should stay active and emails sent there should get forwarded to the new email account. I have done that three times in the last decade, and the first one I transitioned from was still forwarding email thru the two intermediary accounts to my current account until last summer when that service finally changed owners and they wanted all new accounts set up or transitioned to their new software - which I didn't do - and I hadn't even signed into my account there in over 4 years and "forwarding" was still working.

Hotmail Email account not working on my Phone anymore

Hi. I have a Curve 8330 on the Sprint network. About a day and a half ago I stopped receiving my emails on my phone. I can't send email either. SMS, MMS, Blackberry messenger all work fine.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Why can't some Hotmail emails be deleted from phone?

I can't delete some Hotmail emails from my iPhone (iPhone 5, iOS6.1.4). It doesn't happen with all Hotmail emails. It appears that this only happens with Hotmail emails that have been on the iPhone, opened on the iPhone but not deleted via the iPhone, and then deleted via my computer by accessing my Hotmail account. The emails remain in the Hotmail account on the iPhone and when I try to delete them, via "edit" and deleting selected or swiping and choosing "delete," I receive an error pop up that says "Unable to Move Messages The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." The email will temporarily be removed, but it will then reappear. Anyone have a clue on how to fix this? Thanks.

"Unable to move message to folder "Trash" because the folder does not exist"
Note: This should not affect MobileMe accounts.
Resolution
To resolve this issue go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [affected account name] > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox on iPhone or iPod touch.
If "On the Server" is an option, select Trash below that (or select Deleted Items or Deleted Messages). Otherwise, select Trash located under "On My iPhone". Once the Deleted Mailbox has been set, tap Advanced and then press the Home button to return the Home screen.
If the Deleted Mailbox is already set to Trash, please follow these steps:
Tap another folder such as Spam under the "On the Server" section
Tap Advanced.
Tap Deleted Mailbox, then set it to Trash located under On My iPhone.
Tap Advanced.
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.

How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
Brendon

Hi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem.
