Mbox hotmail account not working

I have just completed the latest software download on my iPhone and now I can't use my mbox hotmail account. Not able to get or send any emails. Can anyone help?

I just checked my two hotmail accounts and they work fine. I actually had not used them in probably a year, so I had to set them up in MAIL. (Hotmail seems to attract a lot of spam) No problems here.
One thing that sometimes helps when there's a corruption of some sort is to delete the account (but back up your e-mail first) and then set it up again from scratch.
I had a big problem with the Keychain about a year ago. It was really corrupted bad. I forget what I finally did to correct the situation, but I believe there is a Tech support article on this very subject on Apple's web site.
Good luck.

How are you accessing Hotmail? Via your web browser? Are you using Apple Mail? Outlook?
The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
Incoming server: pop3.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
Password: Your Hotmail password
POP port: 995
Use SSL to connect : yes
The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address
Password: Your Hotmail password
SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
Use SSL to connect : yes

Hotmail account not working on Yosemite's Mail app

I've tried everything I've found on the internet so far trying to get my hotmail account to work the way it was before my update to Yosemite, with no success. A few days ago it stopped syncing messages properly, and now it just shows them as downloading but it never finishes the syncing.
I even left it working overnight with the mail app open, nothing else, prevented from going to sleep mode or shutting down, and it kind of worked, downloading some of the messages that were pending, but others just won't do it no matter what. I've tried Deleting the Account, restarting and Adding it again, also tried changing the imap server information to different options I've found, no difference.
I also tried Outlook for Mac with all my accounts, and the hotmail account seemed to work better which means the problem is between Mac Mail and the Hotmail account itself. The problem is I don't want to use Outlook for Mac because showed other problems with my Gmail accounts, which renders it unsuitable to handle all my mail accounts. Apple Mail was flawless until my update to Yosemite, not cool.
Does anybody have the same issue?
Thanks!

Same here. I, too, have tried everything, including removing and re-adding the Hotmail account and SMTP servers, rebooting, you name it. Some folders seem to sync sometimes, but some do not ever. The main inbox does not sync at all. In addition, the problem seems to be strictly with Apple Mail on my iMac and MacBook Pro. The issue does not occur on my iPhone 6 or iPad Mini. I was very pleased with Apple Mail until now.

TS3899 Hotmail account not working in iPhone 5 mail app

At first I thought it was a COS, College of the Sequoias, as in the college I'm going to, Hotmail situation BUT it turns out it's a Hotmail in general situation because my other Hotmail account doesn't show my inbox or sent mail at all. I sent up my Hotmail account properly, go to it on the mail app, click on it and the inbox is empty. So is the sent box. Go to hotmail on the browser..there's all my mail! Just not in my Hotmail account in the mail app! I tried to set my Hotmail account on Jennifer's iPhone 4S.. No luck. Same thing happened when I tried on mum's iPad!
The strange thing is my COS hotmail account WAS set up on their BEFORE then iOS6 update just flawlessly. I get my iPhone 5 and decide to delete my email accounts from the iPad now that I have my phone. When hotmail decided to go all wonky I tried resynchronize my COS hotmail on the iPad again because I know it worked there. But I had updated the software since then. Thus it not working now!
My gmail and yahoo accounts are working flawlessly on my mail app however the Hotmail..not so much! I've been doing some research on the net..could the update be the problem?? If so, I can't wait for the iOS 7 software update!

Hotmail accounts not working on iPhone 6 - IOS 8.3?

I've realised over the last few days that I've not been getting emails on my iPhone, they do still come through on my Mac. I read a few threads that seem to put it down to the new IOS upgrade, but I can't remember when I upgraded to IOS 8.3 and when the emails stopped coming, but it does seem quite coincidental.
I thought I delete the accounts on my iphone but it won't let me, it just keeps hanging with the screen showing deleting, but it doesn't delete. I have to force a quit out of settings to get out of the screen.
I also tried sending an email from each account to see if it would work but it also hangs on sending at the bottom of the screen.
My iPhone 6 is only a few weeks old and I'm not sure what I'm meant to do now. Why can I not delete the email accounts? Why has my iPhone stopped sending and receiving them?
Any help very much appreciated!

HI, I would like to help you with this FaceTime issue. Can you expand on the problem please?

Mail with Hotmail account not working.

I use my Hotmail from the Mail app and days ago it requested me my password again so I typed it CORRECTLY and it doesnt logs in, it keeps saying me "The Hotmail POP server “pop3.live.com” rejected the password for user "[email protected]" "
I already tried logging in from the web page and it works perfectly fine with the same password.
What is the problem? Someone help !
Thanks!!!!!

you're password is too long, for some reason mail tends to do weird stuff if your password is too long, i had the same issue and changing the password to something shorter worked (using 10 characters now)
Hope this fixes your problem,
Alex

Why is Hotmail Calendar not working with latest version of Firefox

I was prompted to load the 'latest' version of Firefox this morning, which I duly did. Since then my Hotmail account has worked fine for send and receive but I cannot access my calendar. Screen simply says "loading...." and never actually loads.
I have shut my lap top down fully and rebooted but the situation remains the same.
I have 2 Hotmail accounts and this problem is the same for both. Please could you advise.

iSight is the camera. I expect you mean that Skype will not recognize the camera.
(1) Did you restart Mac and try again?
(2) Did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions before and after installing Skype?
(3) Because Skype is your only problem app, have you checked Skype support such as
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10931/ and
https://support.skype.com/en-us/category/VIDEO/
There are Skype-specific tips there that may help you.
Do NOT add any drivers. All needed iSight driver software is included in your OS X 10.6.8
You can also search Skype's dedicated forum for Mac http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/bd-p/Mac
(4) Your first download or install may have been faulty. If you have not already done so, try downloading the latest Skype version again and reinstalling? Remember to repair permissions before and after the reinstall.

Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro

Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro. I have tried safari and firefox. I have unloaded and reloaded an old version of firefox and still no luck. When go to ebay it opens but looks very weird. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.6 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am so frustrated, I have tried everything I can think of and still no luck.

Good of you to offer the detail you did (a lot of people don't bother) but it still is not quite enough. Texting that it "looks very weird" just leaves me blank. Most basic remedy for browser issues is to use Safari to google "adobe flash" and download a fresh file & install. Can't think of anything else given what you've posted....

I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail

Can anyone help?
I have been using my hotmail account to send/share photos on iPhoto. Recently I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail?
What do I need to do to get the hotmail account working again?

In iphoto I select the photos to send, click on share and email. I setup the email in iphoto and iphoto sorted out all the pop3 & SMTP settings all i had to do was put my email & password in. Since its gone wrong I have got an ipad but no changes to my email settings.
I have been looking at the 'mail' which is also setup for hotmail and I can't send emails from there either so i don't think there is a problem with iphoto.

Hotmail is not working under ISO 6.1.3 (iPad 3 or iPhone 4S)

My Hotmail account is not working at all it all IOS 6 devices including IPad3, iPad4, iPhone4S and iPhone5 starting today. I get different messages like: "Checking for mail" or Cannot Get Mail. This has never happend to me since I bought these devices last year. I have deleted the Hotmail account and added a new one without success. I have also rebooted the devices many times. I have tried to create the email account as a Hotmail or Exchange account. It just doesn't work anymore.
Two more pieces of info:
- the Hotmail app doesn't work either
- the only way to get into Hotmail is via a browser (Safari, Chrome)
tks in advance.

Seems to be a Hotmail issue.

I'm having this problem in reverse..
I don't have a Hotmail account and don't need a Hotmail mailbox on my Nokia Messaging.
However, when I installed the Windows Live Messenger app from Ovi Store, it automatically created a Hotmail mailbox in my Nokia Email. Since i was trying out the Windows Live Messenger only, I removed it after I tried it out. Right now, there's a nonfunctioning Hotmail mailbox still in my Nokia Email that I couldn't delete nor access... Still finding a solution on how to totally completely remove it (since the Hotmail mailbox doesn't appear in the settings portion of Nokia Email/Messaging unlike the Yahoo or Gmail mailboxes which I've defined and created on my E72)
Your device has to be online with the NM server to delete the mailbox.
How do I go online with the NM server?
I only use my home wifi to connect to the Internet and update my emails on the E72.
Also, the Hotmail mailbox exists only in the Home->Messaging menu but not in the Home->Email menu. From what I know, there's a Connect menu option in the Home->Email menu, but there's no "Hotmail" mailbox on my Email menu.

Hotmail will not work properly in Firefox 18

I have firefox 18 and for no apparent reason hotmail no longer works the way it should. Worked perfectly fine before I went to bed 9 hours ago last night.The page loads I can check boxes, but I can not open up emails or delete, new email, forward any of that stuff. Other than installing some windows updates last night I have not made any changes to my computer that should be effecting this. It works fine in Chrome so this is something on Mozilla's end. I've looked through older posts about this and none of the solutions worked. I uninstalled fox it reader, added hotmail,live,passport, all of that to my "allowed" list in the security, checked/unchecked the box the content/JavaScript place.
DO NOT post any comments about how stupid or slow hotmail is. I've had this same account for almost 10 years now and I'm not creating a whole new email. If your not going to post anything useful or informative, than do not post at all!

Hotmail Account Not Displaying Correctly in IE10

Hi there,
I am having issues with my hotmail account which as of today is not displaying correctly in IE10. Everything was working correctly up until this morning.
I can't get any emails to load and it looks terrible. I can't access folders either. I have cleared my cookies, cache, browser history as well as changed to safe mode. I have tried to acces it in Firefox but the login page does not
load, i just get a blank screen.
Thank you for your help

Nice troubleshooting. Well done!

Are you currently accessing your mail via a Web Browser or email client?

Does the issue happen when using a different computer?
Does the same thing happen when you access your account from the same
computer with a different browser? (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Google Chrome)

The Insert Bar in hotmail is not working. Can't use Attachment etc. Have Silverlight enabled. Please advise.

The hotmail insert bar not working has started ever since hotmail was upgraded. I can attache files to my gmail account but as I use hotmail regularly, it is inconvenient. Sometimes this problem disappears on its own. And it happens with Firefox as well as IE 6.0. Can some one help out please?

I had the same problem and after much internet searching. It helped when I realized they called that an "insert bar" I was looking for why my attachment option was gone. I found a solution that works. Turn off your Silverlight addon. Tools/Addons/Plugins then Disable. The insert bar is not coming up properly because of this addon. I disabled it and cleared my cache and have had no trouble since.
