Mail struggles to get hotmail

I have four email accounts linked to my (iOS 8.1.3) iPad. Often, when I try to update my Inbox, Mail sits there churning away for ages not downloading any mail. The fix is to reboot and then all is fine until the next time. I have a feeling it is the Hotmail account that Mail has a conflict with. Any ideas?

Hi Allen
Thanks for getting back to me. I haven't tried the fix yet because now all my emails do get to the iPad quickly! I think this could be because I replaced the Devolo dLAN 200 AV Wifi unit that was nearest my iPad, with a much newer Devolo dLAN 500 Wifi unit. Maybe the older unit has had it, and was not allowing the iPad to log off my email server properly (or something).
It's good to know that there are people out there who can help so quickly!

  • I can't open e-mail or otherwise get Hotmail to respond since installing 4.0

    I've gone to my Hotmail inbox and am unable to read e-mails. It will download new e-mails, but won't allow me to read anything. When I right click, I get none of the usual items such as "mark as read". Instead I get "back", "reload", etc. I need my e-mail for work!! Help!

    Oops, our posts crossed. The two main changes in Safe Mode would be: (1) disabling Firefox's use of hardware graphics acceleration, and (2) disabling all extensions. You can try to implement those manually in regular mode.
    '''(1) Hardware Acceleration'''
    Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches with various display drivers.
    You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If you restart Firefox, are any issues improved? I suggest keeping it disabled even if you do not see an immediate benefit.
    '''(2) Extensions'''
    Disable ALL nonessential and/or unrecognized extensions. If in doubt, disable:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Then restart Firefox and test again.

  • How can i get hotmail to work in mail?

    So in hotmail it finally lets me select if I use POP to download Hotmail messages to another program, that program could make it so I can't read my messages on Hotmail. (For example, this might happen if you use Mac Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird).
    I have the "Do what my other program says-if it says to delete messages, then delete them." box selected.
    however my mail on my it mac says
    "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[email protected] ” or try again. The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop” on port 110 timed out."
    yet it works on my itouch with mail and hotmail. what is going on? how can i get mail to work with hotmail on my mac?

    By doing a Google search for their phone number and their support website.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

    Cheers,
    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

    From your description it sounds like your Hotmail account was compromised. Does anyone else know the password and could they have changed it?

    I'm having trouble getting Mail to work with Hotmail. Any ideas? I set it as a POP account a while ago. Login in today and it can't connect. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, D

    Hi,
    First of all you might want to double check the settings you are using for the POP3 account in Mail with Microsoft's instructions:

  • HT201320 I cant get hotmail account on my iphone 5?

    i cant get hotmail account on my iphone 5

    Hi
    Ok. When you log in to your hotmail on another pc or iPad via Safari or Internet explorer does it ask you for your last 4 digits of your mobile. If they do they you have set up 2 step security. This is so to prevent your account getting hacked. If you haven't gotten this set up then try try this.
    Goto your iPhone settings. General and click the bottom of the page scroll down where it says RESET press that. Now click on reset network settings.
    now wait a while. Then go back to mail settings and set up your hotmail account.
    Ie. name of your account John
    Your email address [email protected]
    Put in your password.
    I just put hotmail in the last box.
    Hopefully it will process this then you should get the tick signs then bingo.  You should be all set up now fingers crossed. Good luck.
    Let me know if it works.
    I forgot to mention you need to go into hotmail on your pc. Then settings. If it says 2 step setup. Then click below that to turn off your 2 step set up.
    All the best.

    Have you looked at www.izymail.com ?
    Their service allows you to pop or imap email from your hotmail account using their gateway servers. It's been working well for me. There's a free version of their service so you can try it out, and if you like it there's a paid version with no limitations.
    If you POP via izymail.com, you can also configure izymail to pull down the content of other hotmail folders (Junk for instance, in case you're worried you'll miss a message that's been mis-filed there). If you use IMAP the performance is a little slower, bur you'll be able to manage the content of these hotmail folders directly.

  • Trying to upload some photos to an e-mail an I get a message that says "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it."  To where do I navigate to unlock this so I can have access to my photo library?

    Trying to upload some photos to an e-mail an I get a message that says "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it."  To where do I navigate to unlock this so I can have access to my photo library?

    Couple of things to try:
    Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
    If that fails:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

    When I send mail, I keep getting this message.
    An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: "JunkMail rejected - 71-12-190-31.dhcp.leds.al.charter.com ([127.0.0.1])

    How do I get rid of this problem?

    Hi there,
    If you have a closer look at message you are receiving it already states the problem. The domain 71-12-190-31.dhcp.leds.al.charter.com is blacklisted by spamhaus.org (is in an RBL).
    Your TB is (my guess) setup to send the message directly to the recipient.
    As a rule of thumb the majority of mail sent from a dynamic dns address (the kind of address you are getting from your ISP) is blacklisted as a precaution against spam abuse due to virus/trojan infected PC's.
    Nothing you can change there. Stop sending the message directly and use your ISP's account instead.
