How to add an additional email account in Mail?

Hi,
I set up my main 'Hotmail' email address in 'Mail' about a year ago but have never used the Mail App since. I now have a 2nd email address (university) and it is hosted through 'Exchange Labs' which is basically Hotmail/MSN I think. I cannot check my emails in each one without logging out and logging in whilst openinging and closing several web pages which is a nuisance.
I was told I could link these 2 accounts in Mail and would make life easier. However, I went to add an additional account and it's asking me for the server info - (mail.server.com) which I have no idea what Exchange Labs use. I looked at my settings for my Hotmail address and when I was setting it up I used my 'izymail' subscription to make it work. However when I go into Mail, it shows no new emails, or any of my old ones. I think i'll have to play around with it for a few hours before I figure out what's wrong but can anyone offer any advice?
How to link an 'Exchange Lab' email account or make sure my existing hotmail account is still linked properly?
Thanks in advance!

Unless Hotmail is required under EU law to provide their full service free of charge, you'd have to have a paid Hotmail account to be able to send and receive email with Mail.
As for the Exchange Labs, that's something your university is doing, so you'd need to call their student computing helpdesk for the settings to enter in Mail to setup your account for that. You can't link these two accounts, but you can have Mail send and receive messages through both accounts individually, assuming you meet the requirements and have them setup properly. It's not hard, you just need to get the necessary info from your university IT department, as well as have POP access to your Hotmail account, which they do charge for in the U.S.

  • How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

    How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

    THANKS! this worked !!!
    I hit "DELETE THIS ACCOUNT" on my iphone (this is the Yahoo I tried to set up by "picking" it from the list that the iphone5 gives you) and then confirmed to delete everything.
    THEN: while in Mail (still in the Settings Section) I tapped on "ADD ACCOUNT..." but this time tapped on "OTHER" and manually put in my yahoo ID and password and I did not even have to go to the   SMTP or IMAP incomming/outgoing stuff at all. But I checked it out under the "ADVANCE" tab and it was already correct for yahoo. (ALMOST SEEMED TOO EASY)
    Went to my home screen and tapped on MAIL and my yahoo email loaded up just right!
    Now, I have no idea if I have any other issues like if I delete mail on the iphone; does it delete properly on my ipad...etc..etc. but one problem at a time is getting fixed. THANKS!

  • Does anyone know how to add my AOL email account?

    When I click on the AOL icon on "Select an email account to add" and follow the prompts, I get a message saying "system is unable to support the request".  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks.  It worked once I stopped trying to use the AOL icon and set it up as “Other Email”.

  • How can I sync my email account with "mail"? When I delete a message using "mail" it does not delete that message on "Safari" when I check on it. Can I change this?

    It is the same way on my iPod and iPhone so I just stopped checking my e-mails on them.

    Yes there is an option to Remove from server emails that are deleted and then emptied out of the trash folder. At least there are in most email programs so I would think Mac Mail offers this. But after you delete them and empty the trash in the mail program you have to again Check Your Email so that the server knows that email was deleted.

  • Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to add my school email address to mail?

    Thank you to all who respond.

    Sorry I goofed.
    In Safari on your iPhone there is a bookmark for the iPhone Users Guide. Load it up! Look at the chapter on Mail > Setting up Accounts.
    You'll need your Mail Passwprd, and the incoming and outgoing mail servers. These are obtained from the Information Technologies person at your school.

  • Is there a way to have multiple email accounts in mail but only get notifications for one account?

    I would like to add my junk email account to mail for quick access, but I don't want to see notifications (or the number of unread emails).  The options I can find are notifications for all accounts or none.  On my iphone, I can select the notification level for each email address, but I can't find this option for my mac. 

    Hi,
    Yes the smart mailbox you set up was a very basic one. I tells Mail to display anything that is assigned to that account. So if you move an email from say the inbox of that account, to another folder of the same account, then the smart mailbox will not look any different as it is looking at the whole account.
    In reality, you never need to use or look at this smart mailbox and you can continue to keep looking at the normal inboxes as you always have, but the Dock icon will only update according to unread emails anywhere in that account.
    If you would like to refine what the smart mailbox looks at, say the inbox only of that account, then you add another rule to the smart mailbox.
    Edit the smart mailbox
    hit '+' next to the first rule
    Add the new rule
    Now the smart mailbox will only display what is in the inbox of that account

  • How do I add a second email account in ICloud mail

    How do I add a second email account to my iCloud mail, like a POP account?

    I talked with Apple and they have taken away the ability to check other email addresses on iCloud like you could in MobileMe via POP or whatever.
    Not sure why I would use iCloud if I can't check all of my email there, and I'm certainly not going to configure four POP accounts on my phone, my laptop, ipad, and work computer...
    Bummer...I'm going back to Gmail.

  • What happens if you didn't provide a rescue email address? How do add it to your account?

    So I bought an Itunes card and I decided to buy something but it later asks me security questions which I don't remember. So, i went to Apple Support to see what i should do and it said that I needed a rescue email address that way it will send me the answers to my security questions but I never provided one. Now I have no idea how to add a rescue email address to my account and unfortunately i can't buy the song that i want because of the security questions blocking me.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
