Hotmail on Mail version 3.6

I would like to open Hotmail on Mail, but it isn't quite working. I get the Hotmail email to import, but just the From and Subject lines, no email message. It reimports all the mail again indefinitely, giving me several duplicates of each email. I can't delete the emails. The text just goes grey. Is an upgrade to OS 10.6 a solution? Is there a free solution?

Solution: I deleted the Hotmail account on Mail that I was using for a long time to send email with the Hotmail address, I then went through the steps to create a new account using the incoming mail server suggested on other discussion boards.

but how come it does on my iphone?
What do you mean it does on your iPhone?
If you download a new email to your computer and read that mail and then download it to the iPhone it sees it as already read? Then maybe the iPhone is using the Hotmail IMAP system? Not sure.

It's a Mac Mail problem. Just read all the threads on all the different problems people have with Apple Mac Mail.

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.

Error Message re: Mail Version with OSX Version & Mail Won't Open

I have not upgraded my OS and have been with 10.6.8 (on iMac Intel 3.06 GHz) since it came out without any issues. However today, after using sofware update to install: Java for Mac OSX 10.6 Update 10 and Security Update 2012-004 (which I can't see how they would relate), I went to open Mail and got the following error message:
You can't use this version of Mail with this versio of Mac OS X
You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in : /Applications/Internet/Mail.app (which is where I have had it forever)
it can't be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications for on your computer. For more information, click the Help button (which it stated upon clicking that it could not be accessed).
Also, though I don't think this could be related - for about a month now, iTunes keeps asking me to enter my password (apparently not recognizing that i never logged out) - however if I just dismiss the request 2-3 times I can look in the menu and the log out option is available - weird.
I see others have intermittently had this problem and as I said I have not added or upgraded any software and I am not using iCloud. I performed disk repair and permissions, cache cleaning, corrupt preference files etc, using Applejack but it did not resolve the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated - while I can get to my mail through other avenues it's not nearly as convenient. Thanks.

Resolved. Found another thread - had to move my Mail App back into the Applications folder and then re-apply Security update.

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.

How do I get past "Unable to Verify Hotmail Account Information" on iPad2? Can't retrieve my Hotmail e-mails from my iPad, Help!

Bought a new iPad2 with wi-fi access. I am at home on my wi-fi network using iPad. Trying to add my Hotmail account to the iPad so I can retrieve my e-mail messages. When I try to add the Hotmail e-mail account to the iPad, I select Windows Live Hotmail on the iPad. I then enter my Hotmail e-mail address and Hotmail password in the iPad. The iPad then says Verifying. Then a box pops up saying "Hotmail Account, Unable To Verify Account Information". I spent about an hour on the phone with iPad support and they tried everything they could to no avail. iPad support said I would need to contact Hotmail support. I have learned that Hotmail does not have a support phone number that you can call, only a search area that is of no help. I am able to log onto my Hotmail e-mail account no problem on my regular computer. I was able to program my wife's Comcast.net e-mail into the iPad no problem and bring up her e-mail on the iPad. I can not get past the "Unable to verify Hotmail Account Information" message on the iPad. Frustrated, want to be able to retrieve my Hotmail e-mail messages from my iPad, please help! Thank you.

My hotmail was working properly until one month ago , then I do not what happens ... My mistake has been to cancel that account and try to re-load it... I am blocked at "unable to verify account details".
I read and follow carefully all your steps here above but it is not working!!
I also try to ask securiry code to mocrosoft and put it instead of hotmail password when creating new Ipad account but nothing.
I try to go everywhere on microsfot pages and on my mail account setting but I can not find any help from there. From PC is working
I try to choose "other" from the list of account and insert there hotmail account, both indicated adsHOTMAIL or OUTLOOK, but in this case it tells me "username or password for POP3.live.com are uncorrect.... what is POP3.live.com??
I already try everything find in the net here and elsewhere ... I have hotmail account since years can not thik to change it .... Some other help?? Some indication I have not yet try?
Why does not appear OUTLOOOK from the choice of default account in the "add account section"????!??!????

After updating from Firefox 3.6.24 to 8.01 I could no longer access my Hotmail e-mail in My.MSN web page. I believe Firefox 8.01 doesn't support this capabilityl. If this is not true, how do I fix this problem?

After installing 8.01, I logged into My.MSN.com web page and my e-mail messages no longer dropped down into my Hotmail menu. I believe Firefox said 8.01 no longer supports this capability. I therefore did a system restore to go back to 3.6.24.
How can I view my Hotmail e-mail messages in my.msn.com if I upgrade to 8.01?

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

I can't find older emails in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT I am able to see them on my Mac Mail version of email. sent emails are OK.

... for the past few months i have noticed that emails in my inbox Yahoo mail account older than a few weeks keep disappearing. i cannot find them in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT i can see them on my Mac Mail version of email. Emails that i have stored into folders in my yahoo account are still there... same with my sent emails... it's just the Inbox emails.. strange, very strange. I don't know how to 'move' the emails from my Mac Mail back to my Yahoo account.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

Mail version 4.3 (1081/1078) can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4" Why?

After installing latest software update, Alert box says: "Mail version 4.3 (1081/1078) can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4 (Build 10F569) Does any know why or how to fix? Paul

You need to look for more than one copy of the Mail app on your computer. What has resulted is a "hybrid" version that never existed. We have seen this a few times before, and it likely results from something being in the wrong place during the update. Probably the best way to handle is to either find another version on your computer some place, or delete the current version in the Applications folder, install only the Mail app from the installation discs, and immediately apply the latest Combo Update to advance it the proper version.
For an earlier example of this sort of thing, see:

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it when I get home this evening.

Error message: have mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). Can't be used with mac/ox version 10.6.8. Help?

My son deleted the mail application. Tried to to re-install it from download version. Get error message: You have mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). Cannot be used with Mac O/S version 10.6.8. build 10K549. Any suggestions?

Hi ...
The Mail app is not available for downloading.
You need to reinstall the Mail app from your install discs.

Mail version 4.5(1084/1085) can't be use on Mac OS X 10.6.8(Build 10K549) ? --- please help

I just clicked software updated and after installed items that showed me to install - now mail won't work at all. I get the following message, "You have Mail version 4.2 (1084/1085). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button." Help offers three suggested fixes, none of which have worked. What more can I do to fix this problem?
I also check that Mail.app is in the Application folder. So any suggestion would appreciate.
Ps. should I try to re-install the Security Update (2012-004) .... if yes how can I do it?
Many thanks in advance.

Try downloading these: Even if you already have this should not cause any issues.

How do I set up a hotmail e-mail account on my iphone?

How do I set up a hotmail e-mail account on my iphone?

Microsoft just changed this POP mail item this month - they now allow this with a HOTMAIL PLUS account -
I was finally able to set up my iphone to support my Hotmail Plus email account. I did make a mistake initially which caused it to fail at first so I delete the new account and tried again - here are my steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Mail
3. Go to Add a new Account
4. Click Other
5. Click the POP button - do not leave it on the default IMAP button (this is where I mady my mistake.
Then fill in these values as the prior poster noted:
NAME: Enter your name here, or some other value.
ADDRESS: Enter your full hotmail email address
DESCRIPTION: Create a description such as "hotmail account"
INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Host name: pop3.live.com
User name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
Password: (enter your password for this account)
OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
Host Name: smtp.live.com
User Name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
Password: (enter the password for this account)
Under the ADVANCED SETTINGS
Make sure incoming and outgoing SSL is 'ON' - Authentication is set to Password
Pleaes note also that my hotmail account has a couple thousand emails in it going back several years so my iphone started inporting the first 200 - then it stopped, so I had to delete many of them, check for mail again and it imported some more, then I deleted more, imported more, and on and on - and it seems to do it by date, so the oldest messages come in first - justs something to keep in mind.
If you don't have a hotmail plus account - it might be worth the $20 a year to get this access if you use your hotmail alot. It beats forwarding messasges to another email to come into your phone or useing some third party like izy that than has your password info.

Mac mail version 6.5 (1508)

i have noticed that on mac mail version 6.5 (1508), any mails which have been recieved earlier in the inbox and now being replied to the same.
One copy of the sent mail to the recipeint comes back to me as a copy.
where as i have noticed i do not have the option ticked for, every email sent out BCC me 1 copy of the email.
And neither do the rules exist.
however this happens only when i respond back to the emails i already have in my inbox.
if i compose a new email and sent to the reciepeint, i do not recieve this 1 copy back in in my inbox.
have checked my mail server settings for any valid forward on the email box configured, this does not exist.
so therefore i would like to understand if this is some sort of software bug with this version of mail.

Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.
