How do I set up my hotmail account in Mail?

Is there a way of doing this? I can't seem to get past the "Incoming Mail Server" screen when trying to add the new account. It tells me the server isn't responding. What should the server name be? I've tried mail.live.com, pop3.live.com, and a bunch of others I hoped would work, but nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Aww that's lame Thank you!

  • How Can i Set up my Hotmail Account on Mail ?

    i Want to use my hotmail accont on mail, but i dont know the server ?

    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
    b. Uncheck the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" box
    2.
    a. Change the port number for Incoming Mail (POP3) from 110 to 995
    b. Check both the boxes that indicates "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)"

    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

  • How can I set up 2 email accounts in Mail

    It's me again.
    I'm trying to set up Mail 2.1.3. in 10.4.11. I have 2 email accounts. I can enter one just fine but it won't take another. When I try, it says that I "already have a POP account". How do I set up 2 email accounts? I see where I can enter the 2 email addresses by separating them by a comma. But the 2 addresses have different passwords and the password box takes only one password at a time. Any ideas?

    It's hard for me to tell by what has been written so far, but it may be referring to what you are entering for the account description. That is, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > Acct Info, for each account it has several entries: Acct Type (that you can't change), Description, email address, full name. If the first account's description is POP, then make the second account's description POP2. I use terms like, "home", "work", and "school" for my accounts' descriptions.
    If this is not what is going on, please write down every step you do, and every entry you make, as you try to configure your second email account and post it back here. Naturally, do NOT disclose your actual email address(es) or mail account login name or its password to us here.

  • How do I set up an IMAP account in mail

    I've tried several times to set up a new account in Mail in Mavericks but it always defaults to a POP account. I can't see any way of setting up an IMAP account. Please help.

    Thanks Barney-15E:  I've tried holding down the Option key at every option to Continue and I never get the option to configure the account manually, it just always sets up a POP account.
    Thanks Donald Morgan: that support article does not help. it has step 4 "Deselect "Automatically set up account" if it is enabled. Click Continue to proceed." but I cannot find any checkbox or other way to deselect Automatically set up account.
    I've set this account up as IMAP in every system since OSX came out and I've never had this problem.
    Does anybody know how to set up an IMAP account in Mail in Mavericks !?!

  • How do I set up my Hotmail account to work on my Mac

    how so i set up the mail client on my Mac so I don't have to log onto Hotmail to view my mail.
    I have tried setting it up but it does not synk with online. so i see all my mail as unread.
    How do i fix this?

    First be sure that your external USB HDD is formatted in either HFS+ or FAT32 as these will be the only two disk formats that the Extreme can share out to network clients.
    Once you verified the format, you just need to connect the HDD to the USB port on the Extreme. Finally you would use the AirPort Utility to enable the HDD for sharing.
    For AirPort Utility v6.x: Start the utility > Select your AirPort Extreme > Select Edit > Select the Disks tab. Verify that the utility correctly identifies your HDD. Then select (check) the "Enable file sharing" option, and then, select Update. After the base station updates, you should be able to "see" the shared HDD in Finder on your MacBook Pro.

  • How do I set up my exchange account to mail

    i HAVE THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY UNIVERSITY AND THEY USE OUTLOOK UNFORTUNALY
    HOW DO i ADD this tye of account

    can you try to help me please
    thanks

    Thanks for letting me and the Support Community know of your success.
    With my few years around the IT department, I can see both sides. IT is often a frustrated position to work from in that budgets don't always support the upgrades that tweak the needs of current users. If your department or organization is still using an '03 version of exchange, it's because there isn't budget support justification or the needed work-hours to migrate to one of the 2 newer versions. In these cases, in my experience, IT will consider work-arounds if it can get over IT's defensiveness and embarrassment that it is out-o-date.
    In other words, if you accuse the IT people of being contrarian, they will respond that they are not . Slipping them a note is important however because it gives them the opportunity to close any security loopholes that might have opened up as a result of using third-party work-arounds. Hearing about this may also bolster their justification for upgrades or training. Anyway, letting them know is an art in itself. Most are thin skinned and don't take tech advice easily, but I think they should know so that they can add tools to their skill-set.
    Glad you got it working.

  • HT5361 How do I set up multiple gmail accounts in Mail without them sending from the wrong gmail address?

    I have Mail set up with three gmail-based email accounts. I have chronically had an issue with sending email from one address and having responses to that original email come in to the other gmail addresses. When I try to select which server to send from, all three gmail servers are never online or available at the same time - it's always just one.
    How do I get around this? My gmail-based accounts are for three distinct audiences, so I need them to function properly. I would rather be able to do this in Mail than by switching to internet-based email or using Outlook for Mac. At this point, I have had to stop using Mail and am just doing it through the internet. I have deleted all of my email accounts out of Mail, so nothing is currently set up in the application. Do I need to do anything to Mail to really wipe it clean before I start creating my accounts again?
    Thanks in advance for your input!

    After removing the account and reinstalling it. currently both send and receive are showing on my Mac Pro..  My MacBookPro s another issue ... even when I send email in that account from the MBP it "flashess" in the sent mail and then dissappears.  I modified my "smart folder" and included "sent mail" and that was of no use either.  When I first reloaded that account on the MBP this morning both sent and inbox mail showed ... but now nothing in the "sent" folder even though it is still showing on the MP and in the OWA account.
    Since the mail is clearly in the OWA account I assume this is an Apple mail issue and not a GoDaddy (server) issue ..

  • How do i set up 2 exchange accounts in Mail?

    2 exchange accounts at GoDaddy on different servers.  Was told by Apple tha I needed to have the accounts on separate servers so that the Mail program could tell it was 2 different accounts.
    One of the accounts is (currently) solid.
    The other account has intermittent issues whereby the computer SAYS that there are 600+ mail messages, but I can SEE any of them.  The only way to "get them back" is to delete the account and reinstall it.
    The problem is consistent on both my MacPro AND my MacBookPro
    ANY suggestions will be greatly apprciated. 
    PS  As an added "bonus" after I got both exchange accounts up and running my icloud account lost its settings and I had to reinstall it.  WHAT am I doing wrong!?!
    PPS currently my 4th account, a POP Yahoo, SEEMS to be okay.  Whew!

  • Set up  Hotmail account in Mail

    I don't know how to set up my hotmail account in Mail. I need to know what is the name of the incoming/outgoing server and as well what type of server it is. I have contact hotmail staff but they told me that this feature is not possible so far in Mac, but I am surprise about this answer. Has somebody tried so far of mac user that have hotmail accounts?
    Thanks for the help!

    I have just had this problem. I am at a loss while Apple will not give us a Mail application that supports http mail out of the box. Surely they realise that most people have a Hotmail or a similar free account... Makes me so angry
    Anyway I am using the Daniel Parnell plug in:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/developer/10364/Daniel+Parnell
    It used to work faultlessly (and still does) but to get it working on an Intel machine you need to set Mail to open using Rosetta. You can do this using Finder, then Get Info, then check the Open in Rosetta box.

  • How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

  • 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.

  • How do i set up an iCloud account to work with existing hotmail account

    So i have iphone 4s and a macbook and i want the email address that i used to have sync via fetching the data manually to work with icloud, I made an icloud account so that i could do this but now that and the other email account are seperate so nothing ever syncs, how can i just add my hotmail account to icloud to make it sync to my iphone automatically?

    There is no way to setup iCloud on a PC, it must be setup first on a compatible Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
