I cannot get Mac's Mail program to load all of my Hotmail folders...

I am a Mac newbie. I searched the discussion boards for an answer to my problem but I can't seem to find an answer. I would like to configure my Mail so that it imports all of my Hotmail folders - both my inbox AND the multile folders that I have within Hotmail. I was able to do this easily with my Windows PC, so it seems that it should be easiy accomplished with the Mac. These folders automatically appeared when I configured the hotmail account to Microsoft Outlook on my Windows PC. Can anyone help? I'm hoping that this is a simple fix!

mbox mail for mac is the solution I think. It worked well for me.

Cannot get or send mail using Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad

Everyone in my household cannot get or send mail on their Apple Mail for iPad and iPhone. We all get the same message: "The user name or password for [account] is incorrect." This just started happening yesterday afternoon. No problems before that. I called my hosting company and Apple, and both blamed the other. My Apple system is always updated, so I have the latest version of Maverick. Had no problems with it up until now.
However, I awoke this morning to find downloaded emails in the same program, but when I go to "get mail," it says the same thing, and still won't allow me to send or receive.
Here's the kicker. I also use Gmail with the exact same accounts (yes, I need both since Apple Mail does things that Gmail doesn't, and vice versa). No problem! I get all my emails and can send with no problem. So, my hosting company claims it can't be them (makes sense). It only happens using Apple Mail, and I have several email addresses. None of them work (other than the strange phenomena of suddenly getting some of them downloaded for no apparent reason).
What do I do from here? I've changed passwords, deleted and tried to set up my emails, only to get the message that they probably will not work. And they don't. I have shut down and restarted my iPad and iPhone, to no avail.
Thank god for my Gmail account, or my business would be closed.
Again, this is happening on four devices in my home: 2 iPads and 2 iPhones.

I have a comcast account I use on my phone and use it for receiving and sending mail. When you look at the account in settings, you need to check each of these
incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
username: the part of your email address before the @
password: your password
outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
Under Advanced
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 995
If you cannot make it work from changing settings in the account, delete the account and start over. Use the "Other" setting when starting the account. It is a POP3 account and make the entries I gave you. Once you do that, it should check the entries and validate the account. You shouldn't have any trouble from there. Those settings will work from either the iPhone on cell, or wireless. Mine will even work when I'm at home on my wireless there, which is on the Comcast network.
Hope that helps you.

TS1307 Cannot receive .mac e-mail on my two older Macs running Mail 2.1.3 on OSX 10.4.11 since the last weekend.

Cannot receive .mac e-mail on my two older Macs running Mail 2.1.3 on OSX 10.4.11 since the last weekend.
Still sends mac.com e-mails and all other "non mac.com" e-mails on "Mail" are working fine incoming and outgoing?
Cannot access via i-cloud on 10.4.11 as told not supported and cannot update for old I-mac as later OS not suitable for processor on imac
Works OK on Macbook air with current OSX
HELP.....Please??

IT WORKS!
Though it doesn't tell you this in the password error message, the problem IS the new Apple ID password requirements.
FIRST go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. In my case, my old password didn't use at least one capital (upper case) letter, and that was preventing the whole thing from working. When all the little password criteria lights are green, you're good. Save as you exit your browser if it asks you to.
Then open Mail, preferences, accounts, and click on the plus sign to create a new account called iCloud Mail.
These are the settings I used:
Account settings:
Description: iCloud Mail
email address: [email protected]
Full Name: John Doe
incoming Mail Server: imap.mail.me.com
User Name: John Doe
password: (enter new Apple ID password)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.me.com
Server settings:
Server port: 587
check box Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) yes, check it
Authentication: Password
User Name: [email protected]
Password: enter new Apple ID password
Click on Advanced tab:
Check "Enable this account"
Check "Include when automatically checking for mail
ignore Compact mailboxes automatically
Check Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes
IMAP path prefix: leave blank
Port: 993
Check Use SSL
Authentication: Password
Be sure to save the settings when asked after you close the accounts window.
O.K., this little part may be a complete coincidence, but in mail, nothing happened when I hit "get mail". Then, when I clicked on the little "broken" icon on iCloud mail on the left, it sprang to life and imported all my mail from iCloud. However, as I say, that may have been unnecessary and a complete coincidence of timing as I had hit "get mail" previously.
If that doesn't work, try shaking dried chicken bones tied with cat gut over your machine.
Best of luck!

I sent a friend some photos and since then the email keeps coming up in recovered. every time I delete it it appears again in recovered. I cannot get any incoming mail either as the little circle just keeps spinning. its driving me mad!! I can get my emai

I sent a friend some photos, since then the email keeps appearing in recovered from my mac. Everytime I delete it it comes back. also I cannot get any incoming mail, the circle keeps on spinning, I can get mail on my ipad, Has anyone got a solution please.
thanks

Yes,ranchers, I did try that a bunch of times- thanks for trying.
I'm gonna list all the things I did (that I can can think of):
Tried to force close the app.
Turned on/off wiFi
Tried letting it just run on the screen it's stuck at for like 15 minutes
Ugh...my brain is turning off-I think it's frozen like my Sims! Cornball I know.
But I've tried everything I could think of which is a bunch more things than what I was able to list. And I'll do my best to answer any questions cause I know from looking all over on different forums that I'm not the only one this is happening to. It happened to a bunch of people who I think are still waiting for theirs to get fixed.
Can the cloud save me if I upload today?

I cannot get into my iTunes program.

When I try to go into iTunes on my Mac, it comes up with a window that says "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have written permission for this file. When I click ok it disappears and I cannot get into my iTunes program.
I tried click on the iTunes icon and going to info and changing permissions - but it still does not work.

Information about contacts is contained in the backup of your phone, however, once you connect the new phone and restore the backup, you will still need to sync other data. Your contacts need to be in a supported application, such as Outlook 2003 or 2007 for Windows, Address Book for the Mac. If you go to sync that information however, you need to ensure you have a unique contact and unique calendar appointment to be prompted to merge.
As far as photos are concerned, if you are talking about your photo album, that is contained in whatever folder you want on the computer and that has to be synced to the phone. Photos in your camera roll have to be imported to the computer and saved before you can get them back, however if you use the backup from your old phone, it should bring them over, but I would feel more comfortable if they had been imported to the computer in case something goes wrong.

Help - how does this get fixed?

Did you restore the new iPhone from backup?
Did you tried without restoring from backup?
Did you tried to delete and re-add the account?

I cannot get my e-mail to automatically enter addresses in the "TO:" box. In the past, I would get a list of e-mail recipients to appear when I typed 1 letter. That function no longer works. Do I need to change a setting or what?

I cannot get my e-mail addresses formatted to see them all at once...to be able to delete some of the old ones. I feel like I have tried everything. I also feel a little dim that I cannot figure this out. Please advise.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

Going to need more information than that Mr. Magoo.
What email server are you trying to add, how are you adding it. Is the incoming mail server correct? Are you using the correct password. What error are you getting?

Welcome to the Apple Community Tarskforce.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Cannot get iPad 2 charged beyond 1%. All charging ports tried: AC adapter(s), USB 2 port on MacBook Pro. ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged information. How can I get it to charge beyond 1% so I can proceed to troubleshoot?

I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.

At this point I am not sure if I should replace the battery and hope for the best, or just junk the phone, I cannot really sell it if I cannot reset it...

how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title

Play all chapters, i mean.
I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.

How do I get iPhoto on new iPad to load all Facebook albums to select where to upload?
Besides 'new album' , 'wall photos', or 'iPhoto Uploads' ... it only shows 24 pre-existing albums to choose. I need to see the other 50, 60, etc albums I have.
I've also noticed that iPhoto fails to load to certain albums with some 'Domin Exception' error of some kind (not sure the exact message).

You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.
