One Hotmail Works Other Doesn't - in Mail

I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem, or if there's a way around my problem.
In my Mail application (v2.1), I have multiple accounts.
1. Home e-mail
2. .mac account
3. Hotmail 1 - (university work)
4. Hotmail 2 - (media production)
They all worked until this morning, and now the fourth account doesn't.
Accounts 3 & 4 are set-up to access my MSN Hotmail e-mails through Mail, but today only the 3rd one works. They are both setup the same way with the following settings:
Incoming Mail Server: pop3hot.com
Username: [email protected]
Password: *****
Outgoing: smtp.btinternet.com (sent through home connection)
But as i've said, the fourth one stopped today, I thought something had changed, so i deleted the account and tried to set it up again like i had before but got the following message.
Trying to log into the POP server “pop3hot.com” has failed. Please make sure the username and password are correct. If you continue, you may not be able to receive any email.
The password and username are correct (i thought that was the problem). I can get further than this, and send e-mails but not receive them through this account. When i select receive message for account, the following pops up:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "MSN" or try again.
The server error encountered was: POP user name "[email protected]" unrecognized.
I've tried all day to see if i can resolve the problem, but since i have no idea what i was doing, i thought i'd come here for an expert to help.

  • 2 computers one recognizes IPOD other doesn't! HELP!

    I need some help with my Ipod. My Ipod does not connect to my home computer (it did one time, but no more) But, it does connect to my computer at work. All my songs are loaded on the computer at work in itunes but I don't have any more space there and i need to use my computer at home.
    I have tried to reset my ipod, but it still is not recognized when i connect it at home. the only thing it does when the USB is connected at home, is it turns the ipod on, but it is not recognized in itunes. What can I do? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

  • Two macs:  One backs up, other doesn't

    Now how the heck does this work? I got one macbook that does the time machine backup perfectly. The other one does the "preparing" dance of death. How can I get the one to emulate the other. I changed the name of this macbook last night as well as the name of the time capsule (all alpha, no spaces). It's connecting, just no backup. It also says nothing under "Oldest backup" or "latest backup". Frankly, I don't see the need to backup the whole macbook anyway. I probably should just download a sync program to copy documents, music, pics, etc. But I'm obsessed with making this thing work the way it's supposed to. Help?!

    Ok. It seems that if your original sparsebundle file is corrupted (for whatever reason) it will not sync. I deleted the original file and it is currently backing up. Praying that it finishes. Give it a whirl.

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all work except for email. When I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

    I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all applications work except for email. Incoming messages appear on all devices but when I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

    Thank you for your interest. I use apple mail to access my two accounts -I guess they are 3rd party accounts. One is a gmail acount and the other is a bigpond account. I admit to a lack of a high level of literacy when it comes to the language around all of this. For example, I am aware that I have an iCloud email account as I managed to set it up, but don't really understand the purpose of it as the last thing I need is yet another email account to oversee.

  • New SMTP server has SSL. One of two Ethernet networked Macs works, the other doesn't. Help!

    We changed from Optimum to Verizon FIOS today. We have two Macs connected by Ethernet. The Mini running Mavericks and Thunderbird 24.6 was able to set the outgoing server as smtp.verizon.net on port 465 with connection security SSL/TLS with no authentication and it works fine.
    The other Mac is an ancient G4 running 10.3.9 and TB 2.0.23 and it does not accept running without authentication.
    With optonline, we ran on port 25 with no authentication.
    I tried putting in the user name and pw we entered on verizon.net, and that doesn't work. I tried the user name and pw from our pop mailbox, and that doesn't work. BTW, the incoming mail is working fine on both computers.
    What's going on? How do we fix it?

    But I don't know what user name and password to enter. When I enter the username and password from my Verizon account on the 2nd linked computer, it does not recognize it. Does it have to be entered on both computers? What do we select on the 1st computer running Mavericks? Normal password? Then do we enter our Verizon username and password?

  • I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app.  I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect.  Hotmail works fine on Mac.  Has anyone had this difficulty

    I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app.  I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect.  Hotmail works fine on Mac.  Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?

    Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back?   I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

  • Why doesn,t  my mail iccon work?

    Why doesn't my mail icon work?

    If you moved Mail out of the Applications folder, then applied the security update, Mail has been disabled.
    It must stay protected in the Applications folder, or you risk the possibility that malware might change it and use it to send spam.

    martinamm:
    You can't do what you want with iCloud.  You will need to setup remote access to your main computer with VPS or some similar remote access application.   With VPS you have an application running on your main computer turning it into a server and an client app on your laptop so you can access it remotely.  There are many such apps out there, some probably more feature filled than VPS.  You might post in the system forum that you're running and ask there.

  • Outgoing Hotmail Windows Live doesn't work anymore

    I have a couple of Hotmail accounts set up in Mail on 10.6.8. They have worked fine for a long time, but since the last few days, outgoing mail does not work anymore. Only incoming mail works. I have tried to find out if Hotmail/Windows Live have changed anything regarding their POP mail, but have found nothing. Does anyone else have the same problem?

    Thank you Csound1 for your suggestions. In the end, I had to call a senior Apple care tech to solve it.
    So for anyone else having this problem, here's what we did:
    To fix outgoing Hotmail server problems,
    go to System Preferences/Network
    Select Ethernet and Advanced
    DNS tab
    Add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to DNS servers in left column.
    There was something wrong in the settings with the DNS server that I get when set to automatic. I called Verizon and they could not give me another DBNS server or help me. So I'm now using Googles (8.8.8.8).
    Go to keychain access
    Search for the hotmail address
    Delete the lines that says smtp.live.com - Internet password

  • Sun one server 6.0 doesn't work well with explorer

    We've sun one server 6.0 sp4 running in a sparc server as SSL server and too as common server on port 80. The most our clients , 95%, are explorer browser users.
    The server has known bugs with SSL3 , interoperatibility with MSIE problem 532427. The solutions suggested in the server documentation don't work. We tryed the solutions suggested many times and in few time we got complaints from clients, people get "this page can't be displayed". I had to set the server to work with SSL2 only , althought security's reports tell that this protocol is not safe.
    The second bug is concern the latencies loading pages with explorer. I apply the solution suggested, KeepAliveQueryMeanTime 1, it doesn't work well too. We don't feel the latencies on new machines or light browsers as avant , but we still feel these latencies with old machines or if the users uses modem. A lot of people still see very strong latencies.
    I feel the server wasn't tested enough with explorer browser , it has so many compatibility problems with this browser.I think for the most webmasters the perfect compatibility with explorer is very important.
    We payed for this server and it is worst than apache ,apache group fixed the SSL problem long time ago. Only one thing we need doesn't work well in apache then we contenue to use sun one server. But this diference is not enough to justify the use of this server if sun don't fix these problems. I'm talking about problems they exist more than 1 year, they were when i installed the server then i contenue to work with iplanet 4.1 and SSL2. I read the new version server characteristics, version 6.1 , i didn't find anything telling that these problems were fixed.

    Unfortunately this is a little vague. Can you tell us specifically what problem(s) you're having (unfortunately your current message does not go into adequate detail for us to understand the problems you see, or to make recommendations about how to remedy them).
    Thanks
