Mail problem using 2 hotmail accounts

I use the standard Mac mail system v6.2 where I have 2 hotmail accounts, one for job and one for private mails.
When sending mail from the private mail address i specify that it should be from privat mail, however as it reaches its receipients it is actually sent by my job mail adress. This has not always been like this, but somhow changed 1-2 months ago and I dont know why.
In settings I have specified that it should use the account specified
Anyone know how to fix this??

In Mail Preferences, go to Accounts. In each of your accounts, check in the Account Information tab if...
- ...the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is different = the correct one for the account. Even though both accounts are Hotmail, there should be two servers. Even if named the same, they should use different settings.
- ..."Use only this server" is checked.
(Whatever the fields are in your language... )

  • 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.

  • How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
    What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
    How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
    All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Palm treo 680 Problems with hotmail account

    I have a palm treo 680, have Problems with hotmail account, dont have configuration in versamail and when enter with the browser dont open documents, photos or videos. Thanks
    Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

    IIRC, Hotmail is like Yahoo's free email - you have to pay for POP access.
    If you aren't paying for a premium version of HotMail, it won't work correctly with VersaMail.

  • Problem using Hotmail with Mail

    I recently installed leopard and configured a hotmail account to use with mail, but the problem is that every time I open Mail, it downloads all the emails from the account, and even if I delete them or mark them as read, the next time I open mail, they'll show up again, and it's very annoying. Any solution other than deleting all the emails on the hotmail account??
    Thanks

    P.S. I just noticed another issue here: everytime I receive a message in my hotmail account, it shows up twice in Mail. The first problem is more important, but this one's annoying too..Any clue?

  • Mail has intermittent keychain password problems with Hotmail account

    Most of the time Mail can access both my Me mail and Hotmail. However, since I moved from Tiger to Leopard Mail loses access to my Hotmail password and asks for it to be reentered to check for mail. If I don't do this I get the usual problem lightning bolt icon by mt Hotmail in-box in Mail. But when I click this and recheck for mail manually it works fine every time.
    Is mail just not accessing my key-chain when it isn't the active application I'm running?

    This is a common report with Hotmail accounts, but currently mine is staying connected. I think the prompt actually results from the checking the connection on the SMTP, rather than the Incoming Server, but not sure in every case. I have seen the problem in Mail 2.x, 3.x and 4.x. If it goes into a period of frequently giving the prompt, I change to exclude the account from auto checking for new mail, and then manually check for new messages.
    That mine is currently working may be due to my changing the SMTP to that of my ISP rather than the one from Hotmail.

  • Push mail using hotmail account

    Can anyone recommend a solution for pushmail using a hotmail account. Currently i have a izymail account forwarding my hotmail to a gmail account which then forwards to mobileme and pushes down to me, this is a temp solution until my mobileme trial expires. Would a hosted exchange account work with push and if so can i use my hotmail account with exchange. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Yes, you can use your hotmail account, but the catch is that you have to purchase a yearly subscription to Hotmail Plus. I think the price is about 20 dollars. You also need to have a Windows Live ID. In your windows live account you can set up forwarding to any email account.

  • Connect mail icon to hotmail account

    i currently receive the same emails thru both my the macbook mail icon and my hotmail account thru msn. 
    I would like to eliminate using the msn to retrieve my emails and just access mail thru the mail icon on the mac.  The problem is it seems that when I delete or read or send emails from my hotmail account it doesnt carry over onto the mail icon on my macbook which makes me have to do double work on my mail icon.  Could anyone help with this issue.

    Hi, than you, tried this but unfortunately no change. The icon takes me to my hotmail account, I can see the messages but can do nothing with them.

  • Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

    I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

    It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
    In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
    Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
    Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
    The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

  • Cannot send mail from my hotmail account on my iphone 4s

    i bought a iphone 4s and set up my hotmail account through the Mail setting - Add accout - Hotmail.  I have never been able to send mail through this set up. i have deleted the account and re-setup the account several times and had no success.  I am able to recieve email but this is still useless if I cannot reply.  Is there anyone else with this problem? can anyone help me?
    I love this phone, but this is definately a major downfall and I am really %&#@...... unhappy.

    I was having trouble emailing from Gmail on my iPhone 5, because the server didn't allow relaying, as some folks in this thread described . Deleting and setting the account up again didn't help. Someone in this thread said to go to Settings, Gmail, Advanced, Server Port, and change it to 25.  It worked like a charm.  BUT- here's the weird part: when I went back to check the server port, it had changed itself back to the previous port # and it's still working fine.  Go figure.

  • Can I sync Office 2013 Home premium Outlook calendar and contacts across all my computers without using Hotmail account

    I don't want to use a Hotmail account to do this.
    Is it possible?
    The licence is for 5 PC's but seems to have no sync ability.

    I just went to Windows 8.1 and I purchased Office 365 home premium for 5 PCs or Macs and 5 mobile devices. No where in the page or the "learn more info" did it say it would not sync up with iPhones and iPads. I am concerned I wasted my money because
    I truly wanted to have Outlook on my iPhone and Ipad. There is an OWA for iPad and Iphone available but I have deducted that it needs Microsoft Exchange which is not included in the home premium version of office365. I am not sure what good it does to advertise
    syncing with mobile devices when it truly will not sync up. Is this True?
    For $100/year, you would think exchange could be included so these syncing issues would not be a problem. I do not want to keep up with more email accounts just to make it work with Microsoft.
    I am trying to keep things simple. I do use iPhones and Ipads, and based on the advertising for office 365 all my current issues would be seamlessly fixed by going this route. I'm afraid not unless someone can give me the simple solution that does not
    require a PHd in computer saavy. I am not a rookie, but after 4 hours of trying everything I know to make it work, I just could not do it through my new office365 software or the apps for Iphone or Ipad. In addition, there were conflicting answers and
    responses from Microsoft when I called or chatted with their support people.
    BTW, I did download iCloud onto my new laptop and it knew that it was not syncing with Outlook and immediately asked if I wanted to fix. Downloaded the fix, restarted system, and calendar and contacts immediately synced up on my apple devices and my
    new computer.
    The funny thing is that I still cannot get Office365 to sync with the windows 8.1 calendar or contacts app on the start page using my POP email account that I have had for many years. I also think it needs exchange. Please provide some guidance
    here.
    I'm trying not to be difficult but am looking for the software to work as advertised so I can stick with all office products. If not, just give me a refund and I will buy a stand alone version for my PC and sync up with Apple apps which work well and
    are much less expensive. Thanks for your assistance.

  • 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!
