Mail 2.1 & Hotmail Question

Hey, how's it going everyone?--Have a problem I can't solve: How do I get Mail 2.1 to retrieve email from my Hotmail account? I only have a standard Hotmail account, by the way.

hey there--
you should be able to set it up with an http mail plugin. here is a link to a freeware download at versiontracker. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18189. looks like you need to run mail in rosetta to make it work. best of luck to you. [ 8 ) ]

  • How do I get Mail from my hotmail account?

    I was wondering if I could get my mail from my hotmail account right into my mail. Also if I could get mail from an address originally opened on Windows with Outlook Express. Thanks a lot.

    The short answer, for now, is you don't. It's increasingly clear that Microsoft does not want to extend this privilege to users of free HotMail accounts, not does it want to offer POP3 access to anyone other than paying HotMail Plus users at this point, and for the foreseeable future. And, IMAP: that's out of the question, apparently.
    While the plugin idea is a nice one, the referenced open-source HTTPMail plug in is broken by Mac OS X 10.5, and nothing has been heard to date from the developer about an update to support Mail in Leopard.

  • Mac Mail converting with hotmail !!

    HI guys...
    i would really like to have my hotmail account as my Mac mail account. I would really like to have my hotmail account to be linked or "run trough" mail via Mac mail. But I do not know how to set it up or if, what settings to choose?
    Could some one please help me,
    Best regards
    /Eric S

    You will need to download and install httpmail plugin from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com. This will enable you to use Mail for your hotmail account.

  • How do I forward an e mail from my hotmail account on my I pad?

    I cannot figure out how to forward an e mail in my hotmail account on my I Pad. Any suggestions?

    Are you accessing the account with the iPad's Mail app?

  • I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and now I can not use any of the clickable link tabs in yahoo mail, gmail, or hotmail. Do you know what is causing this.

    Go to msn.com for example: at the top of their page they have clickable link to hotmail. When I upgraded to Firefox 7 this link no longer works. Same thing happens with my yahoo mail, gmail and hotmail. If you open up yahoo mail for example; I can not click on the signout tab.... it doesn't function with firefox 7. I worked prior to uploading new version. I don't have that problem on my windows 7 platform.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Mail forwarded to Hotmail has MIME attachment

    OSX 10.4.5/Mail 2.0.7
    I've been having a persistent problem for some time now. When I'm out of the office, I have a rule set up to forward my mail to my Hotmail account, so that I receive an alert on my cell phone (Verizon). The mail arrives at Hotmail with a MIME attachment, making it unreadable on the phone thru the Hotmail web browser function.
    I've got Mail set up to compose in Plain Text, and the option for replying in the same format is not checked.
    If the incomming message has an attachment in the first place, I guess I can understand why it might get MIMEd when forwarded; but even text only messages get MIMEd.
    Any suggestions?

    Hmmm... good suggestion. I do have signatures, but they're plain text.
    But in a possibly related issue, my signatures are buggy in Mail. I have them set up to auto insert depending on the account I'm sending the mail from (one is work, one personal) but they sometimes it doesn't choose the right one, and if I switch the sending account after the message is composed (but before I send), any attachment is deleted when the signature changes. But if I hit undo, the attachment comes back. I've always chalked that up to Mail's general buggyness... or perhaps some wierdness in synching with my laptop. But maybe it's related?
    I just deleted my signatures and rebuilt them from scratch. I wonder if I should check the box "always match my default font"?

  • I want to use iCloud as my mail instead of Hotmail or Outlook, but ...

    I want to use iCloud as my mail instead of Hotmail or Outlook, but it's not working out, because I only get an error message that it is a problem with activating my e-mail.

    If by "merge accounts" you mean merge iTunes accounts (using your Apple ID), then the answer is no.  If you bought songs, apps, etc. using both accounts over time, then your are stuck.  You need to choose one account for your iTunes.

  • I am unable to read incoming e-mail in my hotmail account w/ firefox but can w/ IE. Help

    e-mail in my hotmail inbox will not open with Firefox but I am able to access it With IE. Help. Thanks

    I too have the same problem after I upgraded to Firefox 5 today. I have a Tiscali webmail account, it lets me sign in but a message is displayed that I have "undefined e-mails".
    I closed down Firefox and opened Internet Explorer. This allowed me to sign in and access my e-mails without any problems.
    Had to smile to myself as Firefox required my e-mail address to register and verify my new account so I could place a post or reply to other peoples posts etc. As previously mentioned I can only access these via Internet Explorer!

  • At work we have many who travel with train alot, where the internet is very unstable at best. And  they have trouble getting their e-mails. So the question is if there is a way to increase the mail cache in iOS 7, to lower the dependence of internet.

    At work we have many who travel with train alot, where the internet is very unstable at best. And  they have trouble getting their e-mails.
    So the question is if there is a way to increase the mail cache in iOS 7, to lower the dependency of a very poor internet connection.

    I don't think so. Unless it's in the settings, there's not much that can be done.
    are they using wifi on the train? If so, maybe switching to cellular. There are devices like the Mifi, which is a battery operated portable wifi hotspot that they can connect their device to.
    If the wifi on the train is solid, I know I've had issues using certain hotspots. For example, my yahoo mail simply will not pull down via the mail app if I'm on some AT&T hot spots. But if I go in via safari then it works. So if the signal is good, maybe using a different way can help.
    Or maybe looking for a mail interface that isn't apple's. There are others in the app store that may have better function or more control.

  • I get the following error message when I try to receive e-mail in this hotmail account: "Configuration could not be verified – is the user name or password wron

    I have tried to add a hotmail account to Thunderbird because my Internet provider will stop e-mail support in the near future. I was able to add a hotmail account to Thunderbird, but I get the following error message when I try to receive e-mail in this hotmail account: "Configuration could not be verified – is the user name or password wrong?" (The hotmail website receives the e-mail.) User name and password is certainly correct. I have a 8.1 OS. Thank you.

    got an anti virus that thinks it should scan email. Turn that function off.
    Have a firewall, check that Thunderbird has full internet access, not some Auto rubbish that somehow fails.

  • I can't send e-mails from my hotmail account with my Macbook

    Please help, I've noticed recently that I am unable to send e-mails from my hotmail account from my Macbook. I was able to send e-mails today from work (non-macbook). It's getting stressful as I have no idea what to do!

    We took our MacBook Pro to the  apple store, after a long trial and error, they FIXED the  problem!
    It turns out that one of the files was corrupt, it was either Java or Silverlight.
    My suggestion to you is to remove Java than restart and then reinstall Java. See if hotmail works. If not, than, remove Silverlight reboot than reinstall Silverlight.
    For us, it was one of those two files that were corrupt and that was causing hotmail to not be able to send email.
    I'm not sure what the procedure is to remove and reinstall files, all I know is that my wives MacBook can now send email using hotmail.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mail receives from hotmail but wont send

    Hi,
    I use Mail to send and receive emails from my Hotmail account; I have been using it this way since having a Mac. A few weeks ago mail stopped sending my emails, but continues to receive mail from my Hotmail account. The last time I managed to send an email from Mail through Hotmail was 13th Dec.
    A few days prior to this I had some minor sending issues, I would receive a pop up that said, "Cannot send message using the server msn.services.com", but I kept clicking the "use selected server" button, and, after a few attempts it would send.
    Now, however, it will not go no matter what.
    I have read every thread relating to Mail, and sending issues, I have tried EVERY SINGLE piece of advice so far, including changing port numbers, repairing permissions, resetting Mail, trying different outgoing server/ port number combinations.
    I absolutely despise Microsoft to the point of hating having to logon on to my Hotmail account, hence the reason for using Mail. Unfortunately a friend set up this email account for me several years ago, and it would be too much hassle to change it now.
    I work in Iraq, so I have no idea who the ISP is, however according to the IT Tech, we have a 2mb link which is shared with a company in Italy! Something I have never heard of before. As I said above Mail was sending and receiving with no problems even with this "shared" connection.
    Please can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance!

    I am having the same problem with a POP mail account and no matter what I do even a re-install the problem is still there.
    The thing is it's my girlfriends mail on my mac as a seperate user. I have a simular account on the same machine (as in both eircom.net accounts and the settings are exactly the same. She can send to another eircom account but not to another e-mail address ie hotmail ,gmail..well no other account unless it ends in eircom.net.
    She is receiving mail.
    There are no Admin restrictions as I am the admin and have checked more than a few times.
    Any help here to would be appreciated..it does sound like the same problem.
