Mac Mail - multiple hotmail accounts, only 1 works

In my Mac mail I have 2 separate Hotmail addresses identically set-up following the instructions widely available.
The 1 email works perfectly and the other fails to sync, it just times out. I captured the logs and the failing account does not even get by step 1 in attempting to reach the Hotmail server. Eventually it will just time out.
Ive tried resetting my Mac Mail, Redoing the accounts from scratch, but this problem persists itself.

Try deleting the account and adding it back.

Multiple email accounts - only one works correctly

Hello,
I've had a problem with using two email accounts simultaneously on my Z10 from the very beginning. I started with OS 10.1 and now on 10.2 the problem still occurs. My problem is that I can set up one account and it just works fine, but if I set up another account (set up works fine) it won't work properly. With the second account, I can send emails without any problems and the device also receives incoming emails, but if I open these, the text is not shown. I can read the adressor and also the subject, only the content of the email isn't shown.
Of course, I've reinstalled those accounts and checked the settings several times. The result has always been the same. It also doesn't matter which provider I use - whether it's Yahoo or anything else.
Thus far I only experienced two exceptions where the text could be read. Unfortunately, I can't find any system behind that phenomenons.
Can anyone of you help me? I would highly appreciate it! Thanks!
I'm sorry for any mistakes regarding my English.
Solved!

Consider this?
Delete the account of both email accounts.
ONLY add back the "non-working" email account... see if it works?

While sending an e-mail from hotmail account, in a few seconds a message is received - Widows Live hotmail does not ready to accept your request. This is not the case on Safari.
It requires me to download the latest version of Silverlight, which is done, yet I do not know how to get to it on my hotmail page. I am using mac.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

Mac Mail and Hotmail problem

Hello,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I have searched with no luck yet.
I recently set up Mail to retrieve mail from my hotmail accounts.
It worked fine for about 4 days then just stopped working. It will not connect to the hotmail server.
I have tried all the suggestions I have seen during my search but nothing works.
I deleted my accounts on Mac Mail and started again but now get the message that the server "pop3.live.com" is not responding during the setup.
Why would this work for a few days then without any changes from me just stop working? Why does the server not respond now but did four days ago when I initially set it up without any problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Regards.

The same thing happened to me and probably to all other users of the httpmail plugin. I looked up on the Automagic Software website (creator of httpmail) and they mentioned that as of September 1st 2009, Microsoft has withdrawn support for HTTPmail protocol.
If someone else has got it to work, please post here. Thanks.

Is there any information about using iCloud on a Mac with multiple user accounts (Mountain Lion)

When upgrading to Mountain Lion, you are asked to sign in using your iCloud ID. I don't understand how to set up the proper synching of "stuff" if your Mac has multiple user accounts, and they each have their own iCloud ID.
The whole issue of supporting multiple users on a Mac and making everything easy to understand with regard to iTunes and iCloud is, in my opinion, currently in a state of disaster. Apple needs to address this. They have conveniently made it a non-issue on iPads by not allowing multiple users. I can tell you that as one of the resident iOS and Apple experts in my office, most of the questions I get from others (not work-related) are on this topic. It needs to be easier to understand and accomplish.
Thanks in advance for any information you have on this subject.

My hotmail account won't work anymore...

Question
my hotmail account won't work anymore, it comes up but when I try to do an action (delete a message) it won't do anything, I've restarted the webpage and updated firefox but it keeps doing the same thing, this was not happening a few days ago

Well, Hotmail no longer works with Firefox on my desktop. Strangely enough when I use my iPad to access hotmail I have the same problem if I set the browser to emulate firefox. I have not tried the firefox app for mobile yet. When my iPad is set to appear as mobile (generic) then firefox works.
Others at work have all had the same problem (and with Chrome but that is not something I want to use anyway). Some have switched to Opera as a temp solution.
Two said whern they disabled silverlight, firefox worked fine. I tried that and it did not. (I have had problems with Silverlight with firefox 10 & 11) I have tried disabling all extensions and plugins and adding one back at a time and so far no luck. My Google account works OK. Any suggestions not only welcome but might be life-savers.

I have 2 hotmail accounts. They worked fine the first month or so, now about 20 seconds after I sign on, it goes to an send message screen but I cannot send. When I go back to inbox, it resets to the send screen again. HELP.

Mail problem Hotmail account

Hello. hoping someone can please help.
Have just purchased a 13.3" Macbook Pro, and love it - though am experiencing difficulties setting up various features.
Hope this is the correct forum.
Have set up two email accounts in Mail, GMail and Hotmail.
GMail seems fine, but my Hotmail account only shows a couple of folders. There should be approximately 5 folders (some containing emails which I keep),
and they are not appearing in my Macbook Mail. They show when using my old PC in Windows LiveMail and on the server. Wondering whether there is anything I can do to make them show in Mail, along with other folders.
Have looked at settings, and totally confused.
Would really appreciate any help.
Cannot state operating system - I know it is Lion (purchased last week), not sure where to look!
Thank you

There is a relatively easy way to setup the folders.
Step 1: Click on File, Add Account
Step 2: Type in the e-mail address and password
Step 3: Click Continue while holding down the Option key.
You now have options that didn't appear before.
Step 4: Select Account Type as SMTP
Step 5: Change Incoming Mail Server to imap-mail.outlook
Make sure that the username and password are entered correctly for your Hotmail account.
Click Continue. Make sure that Use SSL is selected and click Continue.
Step 6: Change Outgoing mail server to smtp--mail.outlook
Check username and password
Click Continue
Check details, select option to have account online, click on Create and done!

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Hi,
Seems maybe normal for some people but I coming from internet explorer and with this explorer I was able to open multiple hotmail accounts at the same time, by default firefox can't do that, is there some setup to modify to open these at the same time ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Chris

Can I get my hotmail in Mac Mail?? (httpmail no longer works)

I used to use httpmail plug-in but since updating to 10.5 I can no longer use it. Is there a way to set up my hotmail in mac mail? I have tried, but have not been successful. I have a regular hotmail account but if I have to upgrade to get it to work I would gladly do so. any help would be greatly appreciated

Problems receiving e-mails on Hotmail account while Windows Live Messenger is working on a pc...

Dear all,
it happens that when I have my Windows Live Messenger opened on my pc and fully working, I cannot receive the emails on my Hotmail account on my BB Torch 9860.
Is there any chance to fix this issue? 'Cause when I close Windows Live Messenger, the e-mail box works properly...
Thanks in advance for your support!

There is nothing to fix. As the KB says, only one client can be logged into Live at a time. So, if you (for example) leave a PC desktop logged in, then your BB email service will be unable to log in and bring email to your BB. I do not know if configuring the email via POP versus IMAP (which, btw, you cannot control via the BB email configuration) would make any difference or not. The way to make it all work is do exactly as you did...log out from the PC whenever you want email to flow to the BB.
Good luck!

Multiple hotmail accounts but one will not send mails and gives no error messages

I have four hotmail accounts on my iPad (me, kids, wife) and we have all been using them fine however, my wife's hotmail account will not send mails. I get no error messages at all for this to explain why, it just doesn't reach the intended recipient and does not turn up in the sent mail folder.
I have deleted the account and re installed using a number of the choices including other outlook and even tried yahooing no change.
Can anyone assist.
I am on the latest iOS
Thanks

This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
