Setting up Hotmail in Mail.

Hi Everybody,
question:How can i get my hotmail messages to be delivered in mail.??
thanx
Maarten

If you are asking about setting up GMail for your Mail application, you must first register for GMail via an Invite from someone who already has an account there.
Once registered, in Account Settings (On the GMail website) you should see a "POP Settings" Tab.
In here there should be instructions for setting up your Mail application.

If you are asking about setting up the 60 day trial .Mac account for Mail access,
once registered the steps for doing this should be clearly marked.

    What do you mean it does on your iPhone?
    If you download a new email to your computer and read that mail and then download it to the iPhone it sees it as already read? Then maybe the iPhone is using the Hotmail IMAP system? Not sure.

  • How do I set up a hotmail e-mail account on my iphone?

    How do I set up a hotmail e-mail account on my iphone?

    Microsoft just changed this POP mail item this month - they now allow this with a HOTMAIL PLUS account -
    I was finally able to set up my iphone to support my Hotmail Plus email account. I did make a mistake initially which caused it to fail at first so I delete the new account and tried again - here are my steps:
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Go to Mail
    3. Go to Add a new Account
    4. Click Other
    5. Click the POP button - do not leave it on the default IMAP button (this is where I mady my mistake.
    Then fill in these values as the prior poster noted:
    NAME: Enter your name here, or some other value.
    ADDRESS: Enter your full hotmail email address
    DESCRIPTION: Create a description such as "hotmail account"
    INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Host name: pop3.live.com
    User name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
    Password: (enter your password for this account)
    OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
    Host Name: smtp.live.com
    User Name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
    Password: (enter the password for this account)
    Under the ADVANCED SETTINGS
    Make sure incoming and outgoing SSL is 'ON' - Authentication is set to Password
    Pleaes note also that my hotmail account has a couple thousand emails in it going back several years so my iphone started inporting the first 200 - then it stopped, so I had to delete many of them, check for mail again and it imported some more, then I deleted more, imported more, and on and on - and it seems to do it by date, so the oldest messages come in first - justs something to keep in mind.
    If you don't have a hotmail plus account - it might be worth the $20 a year to get this access if you use your hotmail alot. It beats forwarding messasges to another email to come into your phone or useing some third party like izy that than has your password info.

  • I've just set up my mac Mail to receive my hotmail. It's now trying to download the whole of my hotmail account of 20,000 emails! I only want it to show the latest 200 (like on iPhone and IPad) Is there anyway to control this?

    On your iPad, just go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, etc.>Add account>iCloud and put in the details of the account you set up.  Shouldn't be a problem at all.

  • Can't set up hotmail.co.uk with mac mail

    Hello everyone, and thanks for your patience as I know very similar queries have been answered already in previous discussions.
    I have just bought my first mac after years of pc use.
    I would love to be able to access my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail on os x tiger.
    However, despite following all previous posts as accurately as I possibly can, this still won't work. For this reason, I have transcribed absolutely everything I enter into the account setup below, to see if anyone can see where I keep going wrong.
    I have downloaded httpmail (http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php) as suggested on previous posts.
    Also as suggested on a previous discussion, I have set mail to run using rosetta, to help deal with any complications I may face using my intel macbook.
    My email address is [email protected]
    Now, when I go to set up my account on mail, I enter:
    PAGE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
    Account type: httpmail
    Account description: Hotmail acccount
    Full name: Alistair White
    Email address: [email protected]
    PAGE 2: INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
    Username: awhitetbn
    Password: ******
    I am then presented with the account summary:
    Account description: Hotmail account
    Full name: Alistair White
    Email address: [email protected]
    Username: awhitetbn
    Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
    SSL: off
    Outgoing mail server: services.msn.com:awhitetbn
    SSL: off
    Next page: Conclusion: a new account has been created.
    Ok! All seems well, so I send a test email. However, I get the following message:
    Cannot send message using the server services.msn.com:awhitetbn
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server.
    However, in the pop-up menu, the only option I have is:
    send message using: HTTPmail:awhitetbn
    I would dearly love this to work and I sense I am not far from the solution... If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Where am I going wrong?
    Many many thanks
    Alistair White

  • Setting up hotmail account in apple mail

    How do I properly set up my @live.com account in Apple mail? It will send and recieve for a day or so, then when i try to send an email, I get an error. The error either tells me that I have the wrong password or it says "Cannot send the message using the server smtp.live.com:[email protected]   choose a different outgoing mail server." I can recieve emails fine, I just can't send them. What am I doing wrong here?

    Change it to ActiveSync,
    Edit:
    Activesync is not yet available for OSX, only IOS, my apologies.
    Here are the correct settings for POP access, please check yours, also check that you have only 1 smtp server defined.
    Hotmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3.live.com (logon using Secure Password Authentification - SPA, mail server port: 995)
    Hotmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.live.com (TLS enabled, port 587)

  • How do I set up a new mail account on my iMac?

    Hello everyone,
    I think I used to have a Mail account however I could not remember the password when I tried to turn it on. I decided to delete the account completely and to start again. How do I set up a new mail account with a new email address and a new password??
    I can see how you create a new mail account but it then asks for an email and password so that doesn't help. I really didn't think it would be a hassle!
    Thanks,
    W

    You first need to set up a new User Name and Password with your Internet Service Provider (ISP); that is, whoever provides you with Internet access, such as Comcast, AT&T, etc in the US.  Alternately you can go on the Internet and set up a new email Account with a new User Name and Password with a public company such as Google's "Gmail" or Microsoft's "Hotmail".  Once you have set up your new Account with them, THEN you enter that information into Apple's "Mail" for it to send and receive emails for your new outside Account.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I get past "Unable to Verify Hotmail Account Information" on iPad2?  Can't retrieve my Hotmail e-mails from my iPad, Help!

    Bought a new iPad2 with wi-fi access.  I am at home on my wi-fi network using iPad.  Trying to add my Hotmail account to the iPad so I can retrieve my e-mail messages.  When I try to add the Hotmail e-mail account to the iPad, I select Windows Live Hotmail on the iPad.  I then enter my Hotmail e-mail address and Hotmail password in the iPad.  The iPad then says Verifying.  Then a box pops up saying "Hotmail Account, Unable To Verify Account Information".  I spent about an hour on the phone with iPad support and they tried everything they could to no avail.  iPad support said I would need to contact Hotmail support.  I have learned that Hotmail does not have a support phone number that you can call, only a search area that is of no help.  I am able to log onto my Hotmail e-mail account no problem on my regular computer.  I was able to program my wife's Comcast.net e-mail into the iPad no problem and bring up her e-mail on the iPad.  I can not get past the "Unable to verify Hotmail Account Information" message on the iPad.  Frustrated, want to be able to retrieve my Hotmail e-mail messages from my iPad, please help!  Thank you.

    My hotmail was working properly until one month ago , then I do not what happens ... My mistake has been to cancel that account and try to re-load it... I am blocked at "unable to verify account details".
    I read and follow carefully all your steps here above but it is not working!!
    I also try to ask securiry code to mocrosoft and put it instead of hotmail password when creating new Ipad account but nothing.
    I try to go everywhere on microsfot pages and on my mail account setting but I can not find any help from there. From PC is working
    I try to choose "other" from the list of account and insert there hotmail account, both indicated adsHOTMAIL or OUTLOOK, but in this case it tells me "username or password for POP3.live.com are uncorrect.... what is POP3.live.com??
    I already try everything find in the net here and elsewhere ... I have hotmail account since years can not thik to change it .... Some other help?? Some indication I have not yet try?

  • What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

    What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

    Access the homescreen and tap "Settings."
    Go to "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" and tap "Add Account." Your iPhone should display a list of email service providers. Even though you are setting up a Hotmail account, you will be doing it first through Gmail on your iPhone. Tap the Gmail icon to create a new account. Enter your name and a user name and password for the new Hotmail account you will be making later. Enter "imap.gmail.com" in the "HostName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen.
    Enter your name, email address, password, and the description of the account. Next, click "Save." You should now be able to check your email from the homescreen.
    Enter "smtp.gmail.com" in the "Outgoing Mail Server." Enter the password for this Gmail account in the "Password" column. Enter user name for this Gmail account in the "UserName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen. Press the "Home" button to return to the iPhone's home screen.
    Use the Web browser to go to Hotmail.com and create a new account. Use the user name and password for the account that you entered into the Gmail account on the iPhone earlier. Click on “Settings” after the account has been created.
    Click on the "Settings" tab. Click on the "Forwarding" tab. Click on the "Pop/IMAP" tab and select "Enable IMAP." Click on the "Save” button. Click on “Settings” and select “Accounts” and then “Add Another Email Address” from the webpage. Enter the name of your existing Hotmail account in the column. Press “Save.”
    Go to the inbox. Open the message from Gmail and click on the link in the message box. Select the “Options” tab and check the “Forwarding email” box.
    Send yourself a message to your Hotmail account from an email client. Click on the icon of the Mail program at the bottom of the iPhone’s screen. The email you sent to Hotmail will appear in the inbox of the Gmail account in the iPhone's email.

  • Outlook says "cannot verify user account" for setting up hotmail on Iphone 4, what to do?

    Had hotmail working fine for months, had to change password, could not connect and get verified. Tried deleting and restarting, not working, need help.

    Quoted from Microsoft:
    Setup Hotmail through the Mail option on your Home screen
    If this is the first e-mail account you'll be setting up on your phone:
    * 1. Locate the mail icon on your phone's main screen
    * 2. On the Add Account page, select Other and enter your Windows Live ID and password
    If you have already set up an e-mail account on your phone:
    * 1. Locate the Setting icon on your phone's main screen
    * 2. Locate the Mail, Contacts, Calendars option
    * 3. Under Accounts, choose Add Account and select Other
    * 4. Enter your Windows Live ID and password

  • Can't re-add my Hotmail e-mail

    Afternoon all!
    After all the news regarding the hacking of Hotmail and info posted online, I changed my Hotmail password from my desktop which all went fine - I can log in using it and I have no issues.
    However, now I cannot re-add the same Hotmail e-mail to my iPhone. I firstly, after changing my password, checked my e-mails on my iPhone to see if it'd automatically change my password or something (not sure if this was possible or not) but I got the message that the e-mail address or password for the pop account was incorrect. So, I went into settings and changed the password for that mail account and then tried checking my mail again. And again I get the message that the e-mail address or password are incorrect. So I repeat this process another 4 times before giving up in a huff. I delete the mail account entirely from my iPhone and try adding again but still get the same incorrect e-mail or password message.
    My e-mail address and password that I'm putting in to make the account are correct, I even tried putting in my old password which didn't work either so I'm stumped as to why it's not working now. I've read other posts as to the correct way to set up a Hotmail account on the iPhone and I'm doing all that correctly so I just don't know what's going on! Grr!
    Any help would be appreciated, cheers!

    I have had the same problem. After changing my password on the computer everything was okay and then when I tried to use Hotmail on my iphone it came up with password or username was wrong. Tried re-entering the password a few times and still no change, then deleted account and added it back on manually but still the same problem. I can receive mail but not send, it's become really frustrating and I don't know if I should call the apple support line or if it should be someone from Hotmail I contact.

  • Apple mail not syncing with hotmail e-mail on iPhone

    I just bought a MacBook Pro a couple days ago and before when I was using my PC my hotmail account on my PC would sync with my hotmail e-mail on my iPhone 4.  Since I setup my hotmail account in Apple Mail it is not syncing with my iPhone.  When I delete it on my Mac or show it as read, it still shows as unread on my iPhone.  This did not use to happen.  Can someone help me, so I can get my Mac and iPhone to sync my e-mails?
    And I cannot see all my Hotmail folders in Apple Mail.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.
    The problem is that I've got many years of emails saved on my hotmail account and I've got other different email addresses set up to forward their emails to this account. Due to the nature of my work, I also regularly have to search back through my emails.
    It looks like my only option currently is to use an icloud account and have all of my other email accounts all forwarding emails to that instead. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem of being able to search back through my emails, though.
    Does anyone know how the iphone manages to successfully connect with hotmail accounts (as though using IMAP). As I said, my iphone works absolutely perfectly and is fully synced with the hotmail server. I know it's something to do with 'microsoft exchange' but I really don't understand what this is and how it works.
    Thanks, Matt
