Receiving hotmail in Mac Mail

Can somebody help me with this issue. The PowerBook was able to receive hotmail by simply using httpmail plugin but the MacBook doesn't do it.
MacBook Pro 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

numacr, maybe you could get the developer of the Httpmail plugin to write it in Universal language.

  • TS3276 Hotmail on Mac Mail not sending attachments

    I have my hotmail account set up with Mac Mail. I can send & receive emails without any problems, however as soon as I attach anything (small or large) it will not send. The same attachments will send fine if I log onto Hotmail through Safari/chrome. This has only been happening in the last week or so.
    What do I need to do?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I can't receive email in Mac Mail but I can send them

    I use two email programmes on my Mac Mini - Thunderbird and Mac Mail. I can receive and send emails on Thudnerbird and I can send emails on Mac Mail but I can't receive the. Next to the mailbox is a squiggly line like a wave which I presume is the promblem but I don't know what that problem is.
    I don't have this problem on my MacBook Air.
    The Mac Mini is using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
    Thanks

    If an option exists on networksolutions to allow you to log in to your email via your web browser then access your mail via webmail then try deleting the offending message that way.

  • Font size changes randomly inside mail received (sent with Mac Mail)

    Hello! Here is a random issue on Mac Mail Leopard, seems few people already experimented the issue but no one found a correct solution:
    When i send a mail to somebody, we can randomly notice a change of the font size (from 9px to 12px) in the received mail. This appears mostly in sentences after others sentences containing some bold text.
    Note that I use the Calibri font, which is correctly set for the whole mail.
    Appart from starting to write inside the signature to avoid any problem, i didn't find a way yet to fix that issue. But I imagine that if it would be a bug in the software, Apple would have fix it for decades ?..
    So anyone could give an explanation? Thank u!

    Thanks baltwo and Tom. I'll try sending as a PDF file as well.
    Also, I did a test per Tom's instructions about reformatting text. First, I copied text from another email and then pasted it in a new message. I highlighted all the text where I wanted to increase the text size and left one paragraph unchanged.
    I sent the email to the recipient that's having these issues where she replied back with my forwarded email.
    All the text where I increased the point size shrunk and the text that I left alone was actually okay - Weird! I also noticed that the font style changed on their end. By the way, the recipient uses Microsoft Outlook as their email browser.

  • Hotmail to mac mail

    I love the style and ideas behind mac mail but have far too many people that only know me on my hotmail account to convert to another email account.
    Does anyone know how I can synchronize mail for leopard with my hotmail live account?
    I looked online and a couple of plug-ins were suggested - I tried them but no success - it came up with a message saying I needed to download Windows live - the advanced version of hotmail which I already have!!
    Can you suggest a way for hotmail to work with mac mail leopard or suggest how I can make an easy transition to another email account supported by the application?
    Thanks

    This doesn't work in the Windows Live Mail program. You actually have to sign in on the webmail for your Hotmail account at either www.msn.com or www.hotmail.com.
    While forwarding your mail from Windows Live to another account that is natively compatible with Apple Mail (e.g. IMAP, POP3, etc.) is one solution to the problem, it is only a partial solution. When the forwarded messages are deleted within Apple Mail, they still exist on the Windows Live server. So the next time you log on to Windows Live, you see all of your previously deleted mail. And you have to delete it all. Again. Nor are the forward messages synced between Windows Live and Apple Mail: If a forwarded message is read, it does not become marked as read on Windows Live.
    Try the httpmail plug-in. I swear it works. It is simple to set up, too -- I got it working in about 5-10 minutes. It is definitely compatible with Leopard, because that's what I use it with, and it offers major advantages over mail forwarding. All of my folders from Windows Live automatically show up in the Apple Mail sidebar, and I am able to freely move messages in and out of these folders. These changes are reflected in Windows Live. Messages I read in Apple Mail are marked as read in Windows Live, and vice-versa. Deleted messages are deleted in both applications, so I only have to do it once.
    The one caveat is that you have to upgrade your free account to a Windows Live Plus account, which costs about US$30 per year.
    Anyway, for those who might be interested, here is the download link:
    http://www.automagic-software.com/httpmail/httpmailleopard1.51.dmg.gz
    I am not affiliated with the author of this plug-in in any way. I just think the software offers a simple and excellent solution to a common problem. Sure works for me.

  • Inbox not receiving email on mac mail

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my Mail app on my mac (MBA 2013 running 10.9.1) with one of my two iCloud account, where by one of them  inbox is no longer receving any messages and only old messages were showing in the inbox. Account 'A' for is fine syncing mail correctly inbox/sent/junk and all but account 'B' for some reason was not syncing inbox or anyother folder. What I have done is remove the mail account 'B' only through System Preference>iCloud restarted my computer then restarted the computer and checked the mail.
    Now all old messages are no longer showing in account 'B' but 'A' is working perfectly fine. On the troubled account junk and send mail are syncing but inbox is not. I have done a repair permission and recevied the following message: "Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired." Although when searching it seems that I can safely ignor this message according to apple but I only bring it up in case there is a connection.
    One thing to note I am receiving email on my iPhone with the troubled account it's just that I am not receving any emails on my mac mail.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Well after a few hours it started working again ... I have no explanation for this I just kept my inbox highligted.
    At least this maybe a reference or people that go through the same problem to just give it time

  • Loss of Send & Receive ability with mac mail

    On or around May 11, I stopped receiving mail. I received an office mac 2008 update around the same time. Could Entourage somehow have been enabled and mac mail disabled? I'm pretty frustrated at this point and have tried everything I know to revive mac mail. help

    Two things to try:
    (1) Verify with your provider whether they use SSL or not and verify the port number on their server to which you should be connecting. POP without SSL is typically port 110. POP with SSL is typically port 995. Or, just try it both ways. Doublecheck the POP (incoming) mail server name, too. Is it the same "mail.wavecable.com" as is used for the SMTP servername?
    (2) Try quitting Mail, then launching Keychain Access (located in the Applications/Utilities folder). Select login keychains. Find any entries that pertain to your POP account login and delete them (doubleclicking on an entry brings up more identifying information about to what it pertains/belongs). To delete them, just use the delete key or menubar>edit>delete. Quit Keychain Access. Start Mail. You will get prompt for your POP password. Enter it and be sure to check the "save to keychain" checkbox. Presuming that you are let in, quit Mail. Relaunch Mail. You should login automagically without having to enter.

  • Hotmail on Mac Mail

    Good afternoon everyone,
    Would anybody know how I would go about accessing my free hotmail account using Mail? My original .Mac subscription ran out years ago and I have no intention of paying for the service, I also do not have a Hotmail+ account. I've tried downloading a couple of free Mail plug-ins I've found on the web, but I'm not having much success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for reply. I've attempted using 'httpmail' (and freepops) before and I haven't had any success, I've entered all the hotmail accounts info as per the instructions (also my hotmail account is over 4 years old), but it doesn't work.
    Is there anything I maybe missing?

  • GoDaddy Mac Mail IMAP...HUGE delay receiving email in mac mail

    issue: (only with godaddy IMAP email accts in Mac Mail)
    i can send emails no proplem
    the problems is receiving them...there is an enourmous delay-up to 8 hours!
    things i have done/figured out:
    on the godaddy email client all is good
    on my iphone the account works
    i set up an account in entourage and the account works
    i upgraded to snow leopard
    i deleted the accounts and recreated them
    here is the rub...i figured out a "work around". if i manually "sync all accounts" in mail and then click on get mail the mail comes in immediatetly or if i delete an email in one of the accounts and then click get mail the mail comes in immediately. but Mac Mail won't retrieve email other wise.
    I know that this is a problem others have expereineced but i have not been able to find the solution
    i believe that it is an issue with Mac Mail and perhaps the IDLE feature (disabling IDLE does not help that much)
    i have spent countless hours on the phone with godaddy and today they told me that the problem is a mac issue and therefore i am on my own.
    any ideas???

    Okay - I fixed it.  Here's what I did.
    - Deleted the entire mail folder inside my Preferences folder.  ~/Library/<userfolder>
    - Kept the files in the trash just in case, but didn't need them
    - Rebooted
    - Opened the System Preferences
    - Selected "Mail, Contacts & Calendars"
    - Verified the previous account was gone
    - Clicked Create
    - Created a new account and then opened Mail
    - Voila! Email
    Note - if you trash the mail folder inside Preferences, it will delete any local emails.  All my email is IMAP and I never store anything locally, so everything syched right back when the account was recreated.
    Good luck.  Hope this helps.

  • Archiving/ Saving sent and received Emails in Mac Mail???

    Hello.
    I want to switch web hosts, and before doing so I want to save/ archive all of my past sent and received emails.
    Is there a way to do so?
    I know I can use gmail, not exactly sure how to do so but I bet it's not real hard, but I am wondering if there is a way to actually take all of the emails from my webmail and save them offline? Does Mac Mail do this? Can I save them as files? There are literally thousands of emails, so a way to save them to my local drive would be ideal....
    any ideas?

    You can create a New Mailbox to correspond with each Inbox and Sent mailbox, and then Copy the messages into those. At that point you can have a copy of each message in both the Inbox/Sent and the On My Mac mailboxes.
    However, if your email address will stay exactly the same (is associated with a hosted Domain) then you may be able to merely change the name of the Incoming server in the Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information and continue with the same accounts. This might not be workable because of the inexactness of when you old/new Host swap responsibility. If not, then remove each original account, set each one up again in conformity with info from your new Host, and then move the messages from the the On My Mailboxes you created above, into the corresponding Inbox and Sent of the new accounts.

  • Can't receive Gmail in Mac Mail - just started

    I can't seem to get any of my imap Gmail in my Mac Mail account - just started happening. Connection doctor is ok, but the little spinner just spins and spins next to my Gmail acct and nothing downloads. Have access through Time Warner Roadrunner. I can see in my online Gmail acct that a few new messages have come in, but nothing will download in MacMail. My me.com acct works ok, just seems to be Gmail. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    I should also add that when I try to send a Gmail message to myself at my Gmail address using the Gmail smtp server, the message activity bar goes about 1/2 way across and then just stalls.. Then I have two spinning gizmos - one next to my Sent box and one next to my Gmail box. I just tried sending out of my mobile me acct and that doesn't seem to go out either now.
    I should also mention that yesterday I accidentally drug in a whole Project out of iPhoto to send a picture to someone and didn't realize Mail was trying to send the whole project. I saw under Mail activity that this was going to take forever, so I tried to cancel it. That may be part of the problem. Bad things started happening after that. I do also in my Gmail acct under the Sent Folder, a solid circle to the right of it with just a tiny part of it showing white, like it was at the beginning of sending something big, but never finished. Is there a way to clear all this out, as I'm suspecting something went amiss there - just a guess.
    Thanks,
    Mark
