IPhone 5 | Hotmail: Unread E-Mails

Hello,
I'm having trouble with my Hotmail account marking e-mails as unread on iPhone 5. Looks like a real time sync problem. How do I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

i just solve this problem with this method：
1）go in the mailbox that show many unread mail
2）press edit
3）press remark all at the left bottom and choose mark as unread
4）press edit again
4）press again remark all at left bottom and choose Mark As Read
5) Go out to Mailbox
now all the notifications gone.^^
sometime if ur mailbox mail too many，u need to repeat the step 2-3times，but sure can solve this

IPhone 4S' Mail's unread e-mail attachments, but where?

Hi!
I am helping a client with his old iPhone 4S' Mail that shows three/3 unread e-mail attachments. So far, he was unable to find them and even tried to delete some unwanted e-mails and read all his e-mail attachments, but Mail still showed 3/three. We tried upgrading iOS v7.1.2 to v8.1.2, but that didn't fix it. We also tried marking all (about ten/10) e-mails with attachments as unread (were already read) and then read, but that did not help.
What could be the problem? From a quick Google search, it seems like it could be a server problem? My client uses both POP3 and IMAP with two different e-mail addresses and providers (USC's Office 365 [IMAP] and EarthLink's e-mail service [POP3 and SMTP].
Thank you in advance.

If those emails are opened on a computer - are there any unread emails with attachments?
If not then is deleting the mailboxes one at a time and resetting them up an option?
Thanks
I'll have to ask the client about your questions. I know he has tons of e-mails. He uses both webmails and his iPhone 4S' mail app. :/

I have 28,000 unread e-mails on my iPhone 5. How can I delete without having to select each one under edit?

Sounds like the email account is a POP account and if so, you have 28K emails that remain at the incoming mail server for the account. If all received email has been downloaded with the email client on your computer used for accessing the account, delete all email that remains at the incoming mail server. You can do this via webmail access for the account using a browser on your computer.
Folllow this by deleting and recreating the account on the iPhone.

Cant add hotmail account to Mail on Iphone 4S

I have recently reset an old iPhone 4s 32gb for work purposes, and am trying to set up my email account.
Ive tried using the 'exchange' account however shows up saying "Outlook Account" Unable to verify account information.
So ive tried using other in the hopes of adding it, and its coming up saying - A WINDOWS LIVE HOTMAIL PLUS SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED TO USE HOTMAIL ACCOUNTS WITH MAIL. VISIT
GET.LIVE.COM/MAILPLUS/FEATURES FOR DETAILS. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS YOUR HOTMAIL ACCOUNT ON THE WEB AT MAIL.LIVE.COM
Ive tried visiting the above website and I get nothing, saying its offline or something.
I select Next, and it goes through the stage saying 'verifying' and it comes up with another pop up saying" The POP server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field. I select OK. I try and Re-Save the info, which goes through "verifying" again, and it comes up with;
Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
Yes or No?
My passwork is correct? I have no idea why this is becoming an issue, when before the reset everything was working perfectly.

Short answer: when you are in settings, add email account, scroll down to outlook.com and use this to enter your hotmail account. Hope it works for you.

How can I set up hotmail in the mail application

Hi
How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
Thanks

Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

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.

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.

What is the correct way to completely add a Hotmail account to Mail?

I'm trying to figure out the full and complete way of adding a Hotmail account to Mail. I've tried just using "Adding other mail account..." but it will only input mail and not contacts. Most of my contacts are stored in that email account (all phone contacts on my iPhone are stored on my Hotmail account). So yes, I can get mail, but is there anyway to sync contacts as well as mail?
Mail 7.3
OS X Mavericks 10.9.4

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

Cannot Delete Hotmail Mailbox in Mail 5.2

Hi,
Im trying to delete my hotmail inbox from Mail 5.2 on my Mac. I tried "delete mailbox" by right click and from the Mailbox menu. Also tried dragging the mailbox to trash and nothing.
I had no problems deleting the mailbox on my ipad and iphone ... its on my Mac that it will not disappear.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much in advance.

If you're trying to delete the Hotmail account, open Mail preferences. Select the Accounts tab. Highlight the Hotmail account and click the "-" sign at the bottom of the window to remove the account.
You can't just delete the inbox of an active account like you were trying to do.

Syncing read/unread e-mail for a non-mobileme account

Hi
While mobileme accounts sync fine. My work account doesn't. So if I use Mail on my iPhone, I have to go through my e-mail twice. Every e-mail on the server is marked as unread so I have hundreds of e-mail waiting to be downloaded to my iPhone.
Is there a way to sync read/unread e-mail for a non-mobileme account?

The reason this is available with your MobileMe account is because your MM account is an IMAP account. An IMAP account is designed for this very thing - accessing an email account with more than one email client on different computers and/or devices keeping all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
The same is available with any IMAP account, and this is supported with an Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync with the iPhone's mail client.
Your work account must be a POP account, which isn't supported with a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP
account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

HT204150 I have only 2 choices for contact groups on the iPhone 5, hotmail and iCloud. If I click both then I have all my hotmail contacts which I don't want. However if I only click iCloud, any new contacts I add don't show up :(

Only contacts added to the iCloud group will sync with iCloud. To make this your default, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...scroll down to the Contacts section and tap Default Account. Here, choose iCloud as your default. After doing so, new contacts will be added to iCloud and sync with your iCloud account.

Help me please going crazy, I have my Iphone 4S getting my e-mails from my computer using outlook but when I delete yhem on my computer they stay on my phone, I am syncing via the cloud, Is there a setting that stopps this e-mail from growing on my phone?

For outlook or hotmail emails they use a pop server technology that you can't sync your computer and your iPhone with. You have to unfortunately delete the emails from both devices. It is super frustrating but that is the only way.
Hope this helps.

Since upgrading my iphone 5 to OS7, the mail icon displays 11,507 in the red alert box.

Since upgrading my iphone 5 to OS7, the mail icon is displaying 11,507 in the red alert box. I've tried to select all and mark as read but it keeps defaulting to the previous position. I only want to be aware of the new (genuinely unread) mails. How do I rectify this and go back to the old system which only notified me of the new arrivals?

I Have same prob. Selecting unreads shows no unread messages

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
