Hotmail settings in mail?

My macbook was having trouble connecting to the internet so I started changing everything and omg have I made a mess! Now I connect just fine, but I can't get or send mail from hotmail any more. I have the http add-on for mail and I used to get and send hotmail -- can anyone walk me through what the server settings should be? Thanks!

Ernie...
to explain again, let's just focus on my hotmail account. the FREE hotmail accounts cannot use Mail App for pop access (unless something changed).
so, for a long time, people used 'macfreepops' to get access to yahoo and hotmail email accounts inside of Mac Mail.
that recently stopped working for me.
so, I was trying to be creative (a la identifying as an iPhone/iPad) to the Hotmail servers via Mac Mail settings to get that to work since we know Hotmail and Yahoo (even free accounts) work just fine with iOS devices.

    The outgoing mail server uses SMTP.. See set up below
    a. Change the Incoming mail (POP3) and Outgoing mail (SMTP) settings to:
    i. Incoming mail FROM pop3.email.msn.com TO pop3.live.com
    ii. Outgoing mail FROM smtp.email.msn.com TO smtp.live.com

    Re: Mail only sending through one account 
    Sep 9, 2013 12:42 PM (in response to fishysammay)
    I believe I found the resolution to this.  Under Mail - Preferences, the outgoing mail server (SMTP) must be set for each individual account.  Mine was originally all set under one, making all messages send from the same address.  I had to re-enter my password in the settings for some of my accounts since there was login issues, but all in all it seems to be working.

  • Using hotmail with the mail application

    I would really like to use the mail program with my hotmail account, I tried an application that someone suggested but it did not work. Does anyone know of any programs that will allow me to use my hotmail in the mail application?

    You're showing as running a Windows machine.
    I would suggest using Google Mail. You can either set up GM to forward your messages, or configure Mail's POP3 account settings and have them brought in when you do a 'get mail'.

  • Cant add hotmail account to Mail on Iphone 4S

    I have recently reset an old iPhone 4s 32gb for work purposes, and am trying to set up my email account.
    Ive tried using the 'exchange' account however shows up saying  "Outlook Account" Unable to verify account information.
    So ive tried using other in the hopes of adding it, and its coming up saying - A WINDOWS LIVE HOTMAIL PLUS SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED TO USE HOTMAIL ACCOUNTS WITH MAIL. VISIT
    GET.LIVE.COM/MAILPLUS/FEATURES FOR DETAILS. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS YOUR HOTMAIL ACCOUNT ON THE WEB AT MAIL.LIVE.COM
    Ive tried visiting the above website and I get nothing, saying its offline or something.
    I select Next, and it goes through the stage saying 'verifying' and it comes up with another pop up saying" The POP server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field. I select OK. I try and Re-Save the info, which goes through "verifying" again, and it comes up with;
    Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
    Yes or No?
    My passwork is correct? I have no idea why this is becoming an issue, when before the reset everything was working perfectly.

    Short answer: when you are in settings, add email account, scroll down to outlook.com and use this to enter your hotmail account. Hope it works for you.

  • How can I set up hotmail in the mail application

    Hi
    How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
    Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

  • How to sync all Hotmail folders in Mail on iMac?

    I have just purchased an iMac and am trying to set up my mail, but when I set up my hotmail account to Mail it only syncs the Inbox not the sub folders, is there anyway around this, as I have reverted back to using www.hotmail.com to check my emails.
    Thanks.

    It sounds like you have your Hotmail setup as POP in Mail. You will need to add a new account as IMAP. Note, when you delete the POP account in Mail it will also delete the messages in the Inbox. You need to archive or move the Inbox messages to a folder before deleting the account.
    The iPhone is connecting through ActiveSync (which is exclusively for mobile devices).
    Since you are using [email protected], you might need to log into your account in Safari and add aliases for your email as [email protected] before creating the IMAP account.
    Receiving
    Incoming IMAP mail server: imap-mail.outlook.com
    Incoming IMAP mail server port: 993
    Encryption: SSL
    Sending
    Outgoing SMTP mail server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    Outgoing SMTP mail server port: 587
    Encryption: TLS

  • Import hotmail folders to Mail

    Hi there,
    Im a new Mac user and for a lot of years I used to use windows mail clients, my problem is that I have folders in my hotmail account and although I already add my msn account in Mail I can't see or access to my hotmail folders. Is there any way to import my hotmail folders to Mail?
    I really appreciate your helpful answer.

    That's right - it works on iOS devices.  The hotmail/exchange active sync feature is only available on certain model phones (iOS, Windows Phone 7, webOS palm pre, etc) at this point.  It is not available for use with email clients on OS X or even Windows at this point.
    If you have a Mac or a Windows pc, at this point you can only to POP3 email through hotmail.  Under POP3 only messages in the inbox can be downloaded to your Mac or Windows pc, regardless of the email client app you are using.
    mBox Mail for Mac can give you IMAP-like features with the hotmail email service.  It's an add-on to your existing email client.

  • Setting up hotmail accounts in Mail

    Hi, how do I go about routing my hotmail accounts to mail? It seems like a logical step to make. I've been through the account setup but Mail is not seeing the server.
    I'm guessing its a pretty common request but I couldn't find any specific information on it, and I don't have time to trawl the forums all afternoon, So I thought I'd ask in a new thread.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks....

    Hotmail don't provide POP/IMAP access so you can't configure a standard email application (such as Mail) to use it without extra software.
    izymail and httpmail plugin (have a google for them) claim to be able to offer services such that you can use hotmail with a standard email program.
