How to add a hotmail account to mac mail?

Does anyone know how to add a hotmail email account to my mac book pro mail? I have tried doing it several different ways but none seem to work. All of the tips online don't seem to work either. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Hotmail.com has now become Outlook.com
The nearest thing to an official Microsoft answer I have found is here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/oemail-osend/how-to-set-up- mac-mail-to-sync-your-outlookcom/afdfe981-20c7-4d4a-b6b1-9329b27f018a
Since Hotmail.com has become Outlook.com it should apply to you as well.
I also found the following http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-set-up-my-hotmail-account-on-m ac-3500828/
To summarise it should be possible to set it up in Apple Mail as (preferably) an IMAP type account, or also a POP3 type account. So far there does not seem to be a way to add the Contacts or Calendars to the respective programs on the Mac. Windows users can use Outlook and get all three.

I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists

I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists. I really want my hotmail back and for the hotmail folders to be accessible. Gmail is working and the folders are accessible. My iphone already receives my mail so I don't want to effect that. Any help please?

You need to post in the Mail forum area of whichever os you are using (which you did not indicate).

How do I add my Hotmail account to my Mail app on my MacBook Pro so that it synchronize automatically ?

Hi guys, I'm new to Mac. I know that you can add email accounts likeHotmail into your Mail app so that you can view, edit, modify, create and delete your emails and folders, etc. The questions I have are (1) can I see all the emails I have not just in the inbox but all the other folders as well just like if I was logging on to Hotmail via Internet Explorer ? (2) what happens if I read some emails, delete or move some emails, create new emails and send or save in draft, create or delete folders, etc in the Mail app on my MacBook Pro, will this synchronize and reflect the same on my Hotmail account if I was to logging via Internet Explorer ? How about the other way ? If so, how do I set it up on my MacBook Pro to do this automatically ?
I know that this doesn't work with Hotmail accounts on my iPhone 4 via the Mail app. Everytime I read an email or delete an email on my Mail app, it does not synchronize or reflect the same on my live Hotmail account when I logging via Internet Explorer.
Any help, guidance or advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: never mind, I was using the wrong password

Using a hotmail account as Mac Mail?

A friend has an Apple which a few years ago downloaded a plugin to allow all emails from hotmail come to her Macmail application on her Macbook. She can also send mails from here as normal and they are sent as if in her hotmail account.
However, she cannot remember how this is done. I'm looking to do the same, use my hotmail account email without having to sign into the hotmail browser, and use my macmail application. Does anyone have the details/plugin details to do this please? (I only have 10.3.9 by the way)
Many thanks,

I have found this -
http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php
check your mail->preferences->accounts, and click on your hotmail account.
in the 'account information' tab, i have the following--without the brackets:
description: [what shows up in the account pane to the left]
email address: [your hotmail address]
full name: [um...yer name]
incoming mail server: [hotmail.com]
user name: [your email address before the @]
password: [your hotmail password]
outgoing mail server:[services.msn.com:myusername]
if i click the 'server settings' button below that pulldown, i can type in 'services.msn.com' easily enough. but, in order to get my username to show, i change the authentication pulldown to 'password' and enter my username and password.
ok...that last bit is where it gets a little hinky. mine works just fine with authentication turned off. but, in the main view my outgoing server still shows my username after the colon.
also, make sure you configure the other tabs....especially the 'advanced' tab where you have to enable the account.
and, that the httpmail url is set to:
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
If this works, could someone please confirm?
Thanks,

Hotmail account through mac mail

just switched out my imac of 4 years for a new imac 27" - having regrets - the former one ran lion my two mail accounts with no problem - set up the two accounts yesterday and it seemed fine - just hooked up a time capsule this afternoon and all **** has broken loose ... is it a conincidence?

i have two mail accounts - my business account wasn't receiving emails ... i contacted the mail provider to confirm the settings and then the hotmail account stopped sending and receiving mail ... that's where i am right now - went to the web and confirmed hotmails server settings but the mail accounts keep going offline .... pretty frustrated -
the outgoing mail server setting should be
smtp.live.com
but i keep getting a message that says mail can not be sent using this outgoing mail server setting ... i changed it to my ISP's (Telstra/Bigpond - which is the big telcomm down in australia) outgoing mail server setting (which i use of the business account) and it will send mail but i can't confirm they are actually arriving at their destinations ....

How to setup hotmail account in Apple Mail?

Just got a new 17" MBP... however I'm not sure how to setup my hotmail account in Apple Mail.

You need to set it up as a POP account. Use the following details:
*POP server:* pop3.live.com (Port 995)
*POP SSL required?* Yes
*User name:* Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
*SMTP server:* smtp.live.com (Port 25)
*Authentication required?* Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
*TLS/SSL required?* Yes
(Taken from this WindowsLive support page.)

Adding account in Mac Mail

How can I add a new account in Mac Mail please?
Using a Macbook Pro, Yosemite, and latest version of Mail.

Hi gaginker,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
Here's how to add a new email account in the Mail application:
To add another account, choose Mail > Add Account, select an account type, then enter your account information. Make sure the Mail checkbox is selected for the account.
If you already use an account on your Mac with other apps, such as Notes or Messages, you can also use the account with Mail. Choose Mail > Accounts to open Internet Accounts preferences, select the account on the left, then select the Mail checkbox on the right.
From:
Mail (Yosemite): Set up Mail with your email accounts
Depending on your email provider, you may need to find out the settings mentioned in this article:
Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support
For some email providers, you might need to know certain settings when setting up Mail. You can use the worksheet in this article to find out which settings you need.
Mail automatically configures your email accounts based on your email address for many email providers. If the information is not readily available, Mail prompts you to enter additional settings such as incoming and outgoing mail server addresses. You need to know these settings in order to set up Mail manually. This information comes from your email provider (such as Yahoo or Hotmail).
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Accessing my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail - deeply frustrated!!!

Hello everyone, and thanks for your patience as I know very similar queries have been answered already in previous discussions.
I have just bought my first mac after years of pc use.
I would love to be able to access my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail on os x tiger.
However, despite following all previous posts as accurately as I possibly can, this still won't work. For this reason, I have transcribed absolutely everything I enter into the account setup below, to see if anyone can detect why this isn't working.
I have downloaded httpmail (http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php) as suggested on previous posts.
Also as suggested on a previous discussion, I have set mail to run using rosetta, to help deal with any complications I may face using my intel macbook.
My email address is [email protected]
Now, when I go to set up my account on mail, I enter:
PAGE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
Account type: httpmail
Account description: Hotmail acccount
Full name: Alistair White
Email address: [email protected]
PAGE 2: INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
Username: awhitetbn
Password: ******
I am then presented with the account summary:
Account description: Hotmail account
Full name: Alistair White
Email address: [email protected]
Username: awhitetbn
Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
SSL: off
Outgoing mail server: services.msn.com:awhitetbn
SSL: off
Next page: Conclusion: a new account has been created.
Ok! All seems well, so I send a test email. However, I get the following message:
Cannot send message using the server services.msn.com:awhitetbn
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server.
However, in the pop-up menu, the only option I have is:
send message using: HTTPmail:awhitetbn
I would dearly love this to work and I sense I am not far from the solution... If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Where am I going wrong?
Many many thanks
Alistair White

If you selected the Universal version of the httpmail plugin for download which installs a combination version that is compatible with Intel or PPC Macs , there is no reason to set the Mail.app to run under Rosetta on your Intel Mac.
The sending problem is with your internet service provider and not the Mail.app or the httpmail plugin.
Do you have access to an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet and if so, have you used your ISP's email account in the past with an email client on a Windows PC or via webmail access for the account?
Most if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP on Port 25 which is the default or standard port used for all SMTP servers. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless. These restrictions are part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
First option to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your Hotmail account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the Hotmail SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work and you have access to an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, you can create/access your ISP's account with the Mail.app or at least add your ISP's SMTP server to the Mail.app as an available SMTP server to choose from.
Select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your Hotmail account and with any email account not provided by your ISP.

Can I add my hotmail account to icloud

I would like to add my hotmail account to my icloud account. It was there in my account settings but i could not get it to resend the verification email so I delete the account to try and start again. Now it won't let me enter this account name. Do I just have to wait 24hr or something like that?

Hi annabelric,
If you have not received the verification email for your Hotmail iCloud account the attached article has a lot of great information. Once an Apple ID has been created, you as the user cannot actually delete the Apple ID so you should be able to resolve this by following the steps in the article.
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email

Please let me know if you were unable to use this article to get the issue resolved.
Have a great day,

I can't add my hotmail account

I have been getting a lot of spam mail and decided to change my email address. I have an Iphone 5 and everything was working fine...until I tried to change my apple id to my new email I created. It would would not let me change it on my phone so I took multiple steps to fix it, including restoring my phone, but now it won't let me add my new hotmail account under settings-> mail, contacts, calendars. I don't understand what the problem is. It is accepting my old email address, but not the new one I created! I have checked multiple times to make sure the username and password match, and they do, so I am at a loss for what else to try. Anyone else running into this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi cleosmith,
When you say you changed your Apple ID to the new email you created, did you sign on to Manage Your Apple ID and edit your existing Apple ID to the new one?
Or are you saying you created a brand new Apple ID?
Cheers,
GB
