How to access my Hotmail folders in Mail on my Mac like I can on my Iphone. I have 10.7.5 Lion operating system

How can I access my Hotmail folders, not just emails,  in Mail?

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.

  • How do I duplicate the folders in Mail on my Mac to Mail in iCloud?

    I have set up a series of folders in Mail on my Mac where I file all of my emails.
    During the day I often access Mail on a PC via iCloud and there are no folders set up on my iCloud version.
    Is it possible to duplicate my folder set up from Mail on my Mac to Mail on iCloud and to have changes made on one (e.g. messages deleted, new folders raised etc.) reflected on the other?

    You should create your mail folders on the iCloud server (under ICLOUD in Mail), not locally on your Mac (under ON MY MAC) for them to show up on other devices and at iCloud.com.
    Anything stored locally on your Mac only exists on that specific Mac so leave all your mail on the server and organise it there.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT201320 How do I make new folders in mail?

    How do I make new folders in mail?

    If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

    Go to the Mail app.
    Scroll down to the Accounts section.
    Select the account and folders will be accessible.

  • How do I get the folders in Mail to be listed alphabetically?

    How do I get the folders in Mail to be listed alphabetically?  When I add a folder it appears at the bottom of the list and I can't drag and drop it in the primary list to its appropriate postion, I can only drag it to subfolder status.

  • How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

    How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

    You can't do it on the iPad you would need to do it on your computer and the folder will be seen by your account on the iPad and iPhone only if they are IMAP and Exchange accounts. POP accounts are not supported for folders. 

  • I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
    If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.

    Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
    My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
    When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
    If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

  • HT1338 I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

    Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place? I know there are different possibilities to set.
    I tried but it not helped for me. What I can do? How and where can set this they stay on their place?
    Thanks.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Using mountain lion operating system, downoaded iphoto 9.4 update, aperature 3.4.3 update and still cannot access photo stream.  now what??

    Using mountain lion operating system, downoaded iphoto 9.4 update, aperature 3.4.3 update and still cannot access photo stream.  now what??

    With Aperture, you should be able to use Photo Stream now, but you need iPhoto 9.4.2 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1608
    After updating iPhoto to the latest version, open System Preferences > iCloud and tick Photo Stream. Finally, you will have to turn on Photo Stream on iPhoto and Aperture choosing Photo Stream on the sidebar of both programmes
