Mac mail for an msn account

I have an msn web based account and I was hoping to be able to access my mail through mac mail. Is there a way to set this up? I find a lot of info for a hotmail account, but none for an @msn.com account. HELP!!

Use httpmail as if it was a hotmail account.

  • How can I create subfolders in Mac Mail for an Exchange account?

    I use Mac Mail on OS X 10.8.4 to download my Exchange mail, which is hosted on Office 365.
    I can create folders inside existing subfolders in my Inbox, but if I try to create one as a first-level subfolder of the Inbox the option does not exist. Instead, it creates another top level folder and puts it at the bottom of the folder list, not inside the Inbox.
    Can anyone tell me how to add a normal subfolder to my Inbox?

    Exchange Basics
    The Inbox syncs more frequently than any other and should be kept as clean as possible. (this is the number one cause of problems with sync). Do NOT make subfolders under the Inbox.
    Exchange checks the server for updates every minute, any folder that has updates will subsequently be synced. Since Exhange has a limit on how many folders can be synced at a time, there can be a queue of folders waiting. The Inbox does get high priority so it will generally sync before other folders that also need to sync.
    Keep your folders under the 2GB limit. That's approx 6-10K messages per folder (does not include subfolders) Outlook does not export folders over 2GB as .mbox files
    Exchange  Header
    Inbox
      Folder A  <---this is wrong
    Drafts
    Deleted Items folder
    Junk
    Folder A  <-- this is correct
    It's best to move folders using your web interface (OWA) but you can drag in Outlook and/or Mail.
    In Browser via OWA
    Because of the massive changes the process is best done in your browser. I would also put Mail into work offline mode during this process. After all is moved on the server via the browser, I would delete the Exchange account and let it all download correctly from the server.

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • How do I format Mac mail for gmail

    How do I format Mac mail for gmail?

    You really have no way of controlling how the email will look on someone else's computer. I find, with email, the simpler the better. Block paragraphs (no indent on the first line) and an extra line between paragraphs.
    If you want formatting control, I'd recommend using a word processor, printing to PDF and sending that.
    Best of luck.

  • Mac Mail & Open Dir Network Accounts

    As a system administrator for my family business I have a question.
    I am running a Mac Mini server with all services enabled from lion server..
    I currently use a Airport Extreme for routing and port fowarding
    The client end computers consist of a G4 tower running leopard and a iMac 2009 running snow leopard...
    Sometimes when a user connects to his or her network account and tries to send email using mac mail, the messages will either take an extremely long time to send or not send at all. Also sometimes the network accounts begin to act very strange and a reboot is required on the whole server/client side to restore proper function.
    Ideas to what is causing this problem?
    Joe

    Wow, thanks a lot, I think I got it working now.
    Is there a website / wiki / knowledge base where I can find all the differences between Snow Leopard Server and Lion Server?

  • Still can't send emails through Mail for my Hotmail Account!!!

    Hi,
    It's been weeks now without being able to send email from my 'Mail' programme which is linked to my Hotmail account.
    All I get is a message coming up saying:
    'Cannot send message using the server Hotmail'
    'Connections to the server "smtp.live.com" on the default ports timed out'
    'Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click 'Try Later' to leave the message in your outbox until it can be sent'
    Where I have the option to choose an outgoing mail server the only choice I have is 'Hotmail' which displays as 'Offline'
    What the **** is going on?????
    Is this to do with Hotmail now changing to 'Outlook'???
    Help!!

    Hey,
    I found this worked for me, just check your hotmail settings are as follows
    You change your POP to IMAP like this
    Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.
    Incoming server:
    IMAP: imap-mail.outlook.com
    Port: 993
    Encrypted Connection: SSL
    Outgoing server:
    SMTP: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    Port: 25 or 587
    Encrypted Connection: TLS
    Username: Your Username

    This won't work on mac os x mail unless you disable pop in your outlook.com account first. If you have mac os x mail, and you don't disable pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will automatically setup pop and smtp.

  • Mac Mail with yahoo plus account difficultly  with account reconditions and outgoing serving sending problems

    I'm not exactly a techy.  I have been having real trouble using YAHOO and now YAHOO PLUS with service useing the MAC MAIL application.  This problem started a few weeks back in LION OS and I had apple support and the guys at the genuess bar give it shot and they always improved things but the problem persisted. I had apple care as recently as last night.  After I got of the phone with the gentlemen I started having problems with the outgoing servier again. We even looked into the keychain for problems.  This morning I downloaded OS 10.8 and MAIL is running better but yahoo is still buggy.  Often either the password is not reconized or the outgoing mail can not be sent from the yahoo server.  If I directly to yahoo.com and use their site I don't have this problem so it must be either a compadablity problem. 

    It can't be a software conflict, because Mail is only connecting to a mail server for Yahoo!, so there's no software conflict to be had.
    Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, and the latest release of Tiger is 10.4.11; is there some reason you haven't updated to that version yet? By doing so, it will also update Mail to correct any bugs or security flaws that could be causing this problem.
    Even if that's not the problem, you should try opening Mail while holding down the Shift key. Then Control-click in an empty area of your mailbox list pane and select Get Info from the contextual menu. A window will open and you should use the popup menu to select that Yahoo! Mail account and see if it will connect and tell you how many messages are there, and you should be able to download them from that window.
    If that doesn't work, post back with your Yahoo! account settings for the incoming and outgoing mail servers.

  • Trouble connecting using Mac mail for Office 365

    Microsoft says OS 10.9.4 is not supported for an exchange mail account for Mac Mail.  I'm using OSX 10.9.4 and Mac Mail 7.3 and previously had an exchange account but upgraded to Office 365 through my workplace. I was able to send and receive but now the connection doctor is saying the Exchange  account "Could not connect to this Exchange server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL' checkbox in the Advanced tab.
    The problem I've having as well is that the emails are not saved in my sent folder. The only settings that haven't been updated are under the 'Advanced' settings which are: Internal Server Path, Internal Port, External Server Path, External Port.

    MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password
    This is doing EXACTLY what I would expect it to.
    You need Lion for iCloud which it should warn you when you do the me.com/move routine.
    It's still fixable though:

  • Mac Mail won't delete account

    I am trying to delete an account from Mac Mail. It tells me it is an Internet account and that I need to delete it from the Internet System Preference window. When I go to the Internet Preference pane, that account is not listed and therefore can not be deleted from there.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • IMac Mac mail 6.2 - MSN IMAP mail

    How do I set up Mac Mail 6.2 on my new iMac with Mountain Lion to use MSN as an IMAP mail account.  I have an iPad 3 and the set up was automatic.

    Did you ever solve this long term?
    On my MacBook Air, When I click on 'reply' or 'reply  all', the button seems to respond / change colour - but no new message comes up. Nada.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thoughts gratefully received!

  • Archiving Mac Mail for later retrieval

    I have several users who insist on saving emails stored in Mac Mail to their local hard drive.  If they drag messages to the local folder, the emails are saved with a .eml extensions.  They can click on the file later and it open and appear as the original email did in Mac Mail.  The other option is some of them use File/Save As to save them to the local drive.  If they don't select "Raw Message Source" when saving, the files saved as Plain or Rich Text.  When that happens, the emails open unformatted in TextEdit.  I have instructed them to save these emails properly moving foward.  However, one of our big wigs has quite a few emails that are no longer in Mac Mail that he saved to his local drive as Plain or Rich Text.  Is there a way to convert those to .eml files so that they open back up in Mac Mail properly.  I know it is not as simple as just changing the file extension.
    Thanks for any help.

    No. They are no longer email messages. They have lost the headers and no longer have the structure of an email message.
