Hotmail email problem!!

How could I have had 2 Hotmail email accounts which both syncs constantly and downloads ALL folders included my personal folders and everything in them for three years on my N8 and 808PV? Ive been told pop3 cant do this and only Exchance ActiveSync do this but only allow ONE single email account!
Now since 3 weeks back my 2 Hotmail email accounts (widgets) are indeed NOT working as they have been for the last 3 years....WHY??  What Im I doin wrong or have somethign changed??
Its a BIG mystery for me....anyone here with Hotmail and with one or several Hotmail widgets on your N8´s or 808´s??
Are yours syncing to Hotmail and downloads alla fodlers and old mails or just ONLY new emails??
Ive tried EVERYTHING to get it all back as it were but it seem impossible...Ive even factoryresetted with deletion of all files and everything STILL I cant make it run as it has for 3 years when chooseing Hotmail when Im setting up an email in my phone....Ive doen it many many times before with no problems...but now its impossible since 3 weeks back...WHY??  Please help! 

Hi, I'm also new and had the same question http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2420622&tstart=0. Apparently Apple Mail doesn't download the Hotmail folders (or hotmail doesn't talk to mail properly - can't remember the finer details).
I went into hotmail and moved everything to the 'Inbox' and now filter in Apple Mail. It ***** if I want to look at hotmail from the Web but I don't really do that too much anyway.
It also still filters my junk appropriately in Apple Mail.
Not the best solution but at least it works and didn't have to cancel my 10 year old hotmail account.
Cheers

  • 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?

  • My hotmail email has been hacked into. I've changed my password and hope this fixes the problem. Does this mean my imac software is infected. If so what should I do? Everything appears to be working ok.

    My hotmail email account has been hacked into. I've changed my email password and hope this fixes the problem.  Will my iMac system software now be infected and if so what should I do about it?  Everything appears to be working ok.   Is there a free to use software package available on the web, totally secure and reliable, which can scan my iMac for viruses and fix them if any are found.

  • After upgrading to firefox 3.6 I have problem with hotmail email service

    after upgrading to firefox 3.6.4 I have problem with hotmail email service, however I can login in hotmail, I can't open mails or delet or do anything else with them.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://hotmail.msn.com

    Thank you, but I already have "always show tabs bar" set.
    Also, I have two computers and the other is running the exact same version of Firefox, and the exact same theme, but it does not have this problem.
    To make sure I'm being clear: there is an "x" on each tab that allows me to close it when I have multiple tabs open. When I have only one tab open, there is no "x"; so in order to close the webpage I have to open another empty tab, and then close the first. My other computer has the "x" to close the tab visible even when there is only one tab so that I can close the page and have an empty (marked "(untitled)" tab). Please help!

  • Since Firefox updated to 3.6.14 I have not been able to add attachments to my hotmail emails. What is the problem?

    thanks very much.   The restore seems to have fixed the issue.

    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.

  • Hotmail folder problem or Which email provider to change to?

    I currently have a Hotmail email address and have just switched from windows to mac. But Mac Mail hasn't downloaded the many folders I set up on my windows account. How do I get it to download all the folders (subfolders) or should I be moving to a new email provider? If so, which one bearing in mind I will probably get an iphone in the near future?
    Thanks in advance!

  • 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. 

  • 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’.

  • 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.  My email account works fine if I log in through the browser.  My wife has the same phone and also has a hotmail email account and hasn't had any problems.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • 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. 

  • Hotmail emails are going missing in Mail

    Hi
    Has anyone found a resolution to this problem. All my Hotmail emails download fine into Mail when I configured it the first time but now when I go to click on a particular email, the whole folder content disappears. The messages are still on my actual hotmail account, but are just not shown in Mail.
    Any ideas please....

  • Mac Mail error when viewing Hotmail email - please help.

    When Hotmail is viewed via Mac Mail, the To: field displays the recipient’s name & Hotmail address. There is a serious problem with my incoming Hotmail … instead of displaying my name and Hotmail email address it displays my friend’s name (initials are RB) alongside my Hotmail email address ... for every Hotmail email that is sent to me no matter who emails me.  My contact/address book entries for my name and my friend are correct in Mac Address Book and Hotmail Contacts. Very strange.
    Mac Mail seems to be adding recipient name to the To:  field of all of my Hotmail emails & putting in the wrong name next to my email address!  I say this because the official www.hotmail.com site only displays a recipient email address in the To:  field (no name appears).  This error is only happening in Mac Mail with my Hotmail emails (not happening with my Gmail and Yahoo emails).
    How/why is a wrong name/my friend's name displayed next to my email address in every Hotmail message I view in Mac Mail?
    This error is only occurring in incoming Hotmail messages addressed to me.  Emails that I send using my Hotmail show my name & email address correctly in the From field.
    I am very concerned about this since my Hotmail account has been my primary email address for over ten years and appears on my business cards, etc.   I am trying to avoid the hassle of creating another primary email elsewhere. 
    Thanks in advance for your help in resolving this problem.
    Here is some background information:
    Using Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
    My Hotmail address ends with @msn.com … not Hotmail.com.

    I don't think this is a Mail vs. GoDaddy issue. Rather, it looks like a DNS issue. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it'll ask for your password, regardless of whether that's really the problem or not. It could be that mail.yourdomain.com isn't resolving to the right IP address for some reason, for example.
    Although unlikely in this case, it could also be a Keychain issue. Open Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the Keychain. If that doesn't work, you may try removing the password entry from the Keychain, and let Mail create it again.
    Also, open Mail Help and read the article titled Mail keeps asking for my keychain password, in case there is something there that applies to you. There is a related article titled My password is not saved that you should ignore, as the last suggestion provided there (deleting the mail account) is wrong and could cause irretrievable data loss if this is not an IMAP-type account.

    Thanks for your help. that's not working either! ugh!!
    I can open hotmail, but it's not formatting right, i can't open emails, nor send them.
    Thank you so much for trying to help. I really appreciate it.
    I understand that you can't get a virus by opening an email, but it seems way too circumstancial! This is my third mac -- because unlike PC -- I never had a problem. I understand this problem is not with my macbook, because every other website works fine -- it's hotmail!
