Is it possible to add a hotmail account to mail?

Hello all,
I had been using Microsoft entourage for a while, but some difficulties came and I have started using the mac mail program. I have a great deal of difficulty adding my hotmail account to the rest of my accounts. My main thing is that I do not have the correct incoming mail server.

The Leopard plugin is now available here:

I don't have a Hotmail account, so I can't say how well it works.

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?

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.

How can I add http (hotmail) account in Mail app?

It doesn't give the option for http when you configure the program so I'm just wondering if it's possible to do this.

heres a plugin for mail which lets you access http mail.
i'm fairly sure it doesnt let you send mail - but i haven't used it and so i'm not sure
I just happened to post this link in another thread and noticed this one so thought i wouldn't waste a perfectly good clipboard item.

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,

Use the Internet Accounts preference pane. It has built-in help, if needed.

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.

I could not add my hotmaill account, it shows that my password is incorrect although I use it to login in on the website!!

Just found the problem those XXXXX made an new security procedure that require you to log in your Microsoft account, and get another password to use on your device (iphone) when you add your Hotmail account for the first time!!!

Adding Windows Live Hotmail account to Mail

Hi all
I've successfully set up my GMAIL account with Mail and everything is working fine. I'd now like to link my Hotmail account with Mail too. After clicking "File" --> "Add account.." and entering my Hotmail address and password, I am presented with security warning that the identify of "hotmail.com" can't be verified and am asked if I want to trust "lc2.bay0.hotmail.passport.com" when connecting to "hotmail.com".
I assume that it is probably safe if I DO trust the certificate and hence the problem may be solved, but just wanted to double-check before I selected anything.
Apologies if this may seem like a minor issue to you but this is my first Mac and I've only had it for a day!
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I would post a screenshot but it seems like images cannot be uploaded on this forum.

Hi,
I had the same problem and yes, I clicked on 'I trust the certificate'. The below link helped me set up my hotmail account in imail. I hope it works for you too.

Set up Hotmail account in Mail

I don't know how to set up my hotmail account in Mail. I need to know what is the name of the incoming/outgoing server and as well what type of server it is. I have contact hotmail staff but they told me that this feature is not possible so far in Mac, but I am surprise about this answer. Has somebody tried so far of mac user that have hotmail accounts?
Thanks for the help!

I have just had this problem. I am at a loss while Apple will not give us a Mail application that supports http mail out of the box. Surely they realise that most people have a Hotmail or a similar free account... Makes me so angry
Anyway I am using the Daniel Parnell plug in:
http://www.versiontracker.com/developer/10364/Daniel+Parnell
It used to work faultlessly (and still does) but to get it working on an Intel machine you need to set Mail to open using Rosetta. You can do this using Finder, then Get Info, then check the Open in Rosetta box.

Hotmail accounts in Mail - automatically recalling email addresses

I've managed to link two hotmail accounts to MAIL yet when i switch between inboxes in mail and start a new message, it is only picking up email addresses from one of the accounts (the first one I linked).
If I type the start of an email address into the 'TO' area it starts to suggest email addresses from the first account - but none from the second account.
Other than adding email addresses to the address book, is there anyway to have MAIL automatically pick up email addresses from both accounts?
Many thanks, S

Mail will only autocomplete an address that you've previously sent email to; it can't find addresses from Hotmail. So unless you've used those addresses you're wanting to see in that particular account, they won't show up, no matter which account you use.
You can add them to Address Book, or you can just start sending email to all of them and then they'll be in the Previous Recipients list the next time.

Setting up hotmail accounts in Mail

Hi, how do I go about routing my hotmail accounts to mail? It seems like a logical step to make. I've been through the account setup but Mail is not seeing the server.
I'm guessing its a pretty common request but I couldn't find any specific information on it, and I don't have time to trawl the forums all afternoon, So I thought I'd ask in a new thread.
Can anyone help?
Thanks....

Hotmail don't provide POP/IMAP access so you can't configure a standard email application (such as Mail) to use it without extra software.
izymail and httpmail plugin (have a google for them) claim to be able to offer services such that you can use hotmail with a standard email program.

Re: Mail only sending through one account
Sep 9, 2013 12:42 PM (in response to fishysammay)
I believe I found the resolution to this. Under Mail - Preferences, the outgoing mail server (SMTP) must be set for each individual account. Mine was originally all set under one, making all messages send from the same address. I had to re-enter my password in the settings for some of my accounts since there was login issues, but all in all it seems to be working.

Following = Impossible; no such option in mail preferences - iCloud Mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane. Open Mail and add your iCloud account from Mail preferences.
