Setting up Mail to work with Hotmail?

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:

How can I make Mail to work with hotmail?

How can I make Mail to sync and work with hotmail, since hotmail is my primary mail provider, I have mail set up to work with g mail but the hotmail account is the one I use the most.

You have to have a premium Hotmail account to allow for POP3, like Gmail has for free.

Why mail don't work with hotmail?

I was going to buy a macbook air 13" but i stopped because "mail" don't work with hotmail. The apple store Campania is not able to solve the problem.
Help me

Hotmail is now MS Outlook.com. To my knowledge all mail programs work with it in one way or another. Right Apple Mac Mail.app doesn't support the new MS exchange system, I forget what they call it for real, but from what I have read Outlook.com now supports IMAP which Apple Mac Mail.app supports.
But then IMHO Mail.app is one of the worst mail clients. So alll you have to do is install another Email program like Outlook, in MS Office for Mac 2011, Thunderbird or some other mail program. Just because the Apple Mail.app progam may not work they way you want it to with any given mail provider doesn't mean you can't get email from that provider.

Contact form Not working with Hotmail Accounts

Hi, I have a problem with all the sites i have built with Muse. If the customer filling in any of the contact form on the websites uses a hotmail email account ( [email protected] )
I get the following error message 'The server encountered a problem'
Ive read that this could be a problem with my third party hosting company but they assure me that this is being caused by an error on the form
Can anyone help with this please

Ok so i have sorted the issue myself with NO THANKS to adobe
Heres what everyone needs to do!
Go to the following file public html - scripts - form process.php
You then need to edit the following: ( line 103 )
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.2.0.284 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
This needs changing to the following:
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.2.0.284 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
The form will now work with hotmail, Gmail etc etc
Hope this helps anyone having the same problem

Apple Mail not working with IMAP account

I have been using Entourage for my email with several IMAP email accounts. SOme of the accounts I was getting occasional errors so I thought I would try Apple Mail.
I am able to successfully set up the accounts in Mail (i.e. it successfully logs into server) however it does not get any of the mail nor does it get any of the mail folders that are on the IMAP server (viewing email using Web Mail or even going back to Entourage shows the emails on the account). Are there any special (hidden) tricks that I need to do to get Mail to work with a standard IMAP mail server?

I have a very similar problem. Apparently IMAP access is better than POP3. Well IMAP slows my Mac to a complete stop whereas POP3 is seamless. I deleted my POP3 mailboxes after successfully accessing my GMail accounts via IMAP, then it slowed down.
I've deleted the IMAP accounts a few times, but each time a new account is created it forces me to accept IMAP with no option for POP3. The help file also contains no information on POP3.
I get about 50 emails everyday and my usual point of email access has just become redundant, I must now rely on email via my browser and .
I made this change because the iPhone does not sync downloaded emails with Apple Mail. In Mail on my Mac, the one GMail inbox I have setup says there are 11 unread which it eventually shows yet none appear unread. I'll have to rely on web-based email until this is resolved.
Can anyone help with these IMAP access problems?

Set up your "main" router to use the OpenDNS servers, and the Time Capsule will automatically pick up those settings. No configuration is needed on the Time Capsule.

How E-mail functionality works with Interaction Center Webclient

Dear all,
How the E-mail functionality works with IC Webclient, How can we can send and receive E-mails to customers and internal employees through Interaction Center.
Does SMTP server required to be involved for this functionality or External Telephony system Vendor iprovides this function.
What is ERMS? and why we use this in IC Webclient.
Please educate me to understand the concept of E-mail functionality in IC Webclient.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Raghu ram.

Hello Raghu ram,
The SAP CRM Interaction Center uses a concept of a shared email inbox for agent teams. This allows customers to communicate with your Interaction Center by sending emails to a corporate email address like service@yourcompany. You typically group your agents together into queues based on a particular product or skillset. Using this concept, customer's don't send emails directly to a specifc agent's email address, and agent's don't send emails directly to each other. That would rather still be done with groupware products like Microsoft Outlook.
You have three options for routing emails into the CRM Interaction Center. You can push emails real-time to agents via a screen pop using third-party contact-center software like SAP BCM, Genesys, Avaya, and so on. Or there are two options for sending emails into the agent inbox, where the emails are processed in offline mode by agents, technicians, and engineers. You can route emails directly to a specific inbox group/queue by using different emails addreses. Or, you can leverage ERMS to decide where which agents to route the email to based on business rules.
Please see the various notes mentioned above that appear in the sticky note on top of this forum. For example, there is a nice 85 page FAQ document on the Agent Inbox in note 882653. And ERMS note 940882 is also very useful.
Regards,
John

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

Sending Calender Meeting Invites no longer working with Hotmail account

BlackBerry 9700
v6.0.0.461
I use Hotmail email
I think this started to fail when I upgraded to the new OS. When I create a new Calender appointment, it no longer shows up in my hotmail calender. If I invite attendees, all they get is a blank email, they no longer get a proper meeting request in their Outlook inbox.
However, if they send me a meeting invite, it is properly recognized on my blackberry.
As best I tried scouring the internet looking at various BB forums, I went into options and deleted my Hotmail email account on the phone. I set it up again and it does not fix the problem.
As far as I can tell, my hotmail account is a now typical account that has pop3 access.
Thanks.
EDIT: I removed the Hotmail account and added a GMail account. The GMail account workes totally fine with meeting invites. Also, after the creation of the GMail account, there is now a second inbox icon on my BB home screen. This icon is an envelope like the original one but also has a graphic of the world over-layed on top of it that resembles the Browser icon.
However.... my real problem remains... I need this to work with my Hotmail.com address.

Today I noticed that this same thing is happening to me, but with the GMail account... From the other four accounts works fine, but when the appointment is to Google Calendar, the "Atttedees" box dissapears!

Database Mail not working with SQL Server Agent

I'm running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition 64 bit with SP2 on a 64 bit machine.
Database mail does not work with SQL Server Agent. When I configure SQL Server Agent to use database mail the test email button is greyed out and inactive therefore I cannot send emails using operators or for jub success failure etc.
I've read that there was supposed to be a fix for this with SP1 but I have SP2 and still receive the same problem. Please can somebody help as I do not wish to use SQL Mail as a work around due to this becomming redundant in future versions of SQL Server.
Kind Regards

The problems solved
steps:
1)we create a mail profile at at Managment->Database Mail ,of SQL Managment
2)we set this account as "default" at Managment->Database Mail -> Configure Database Mail -> Manage profile security
3)At tab "Alert System" of SQL Server Agent properties , we check the "Enable mail profile" , Mail System=Database Mail, Mail profile = "the profile we already create"
4)we create a new operator at "Operators" of sql agent, where at "notification options" -> "Email name" we put the mail where we want to sent the agent the mails at failured job
5)We go at a specific job, at tab "Notifications" ,we check the "email" check box and then we choose the operator we just create, at the text box next to check box.
I hope not to forget something
Thank You all for the help

Which Mail version works with which OS version?

My ISP, Demon in the UK, has set up a system for reporting any spam which gets through their filters. Unfortunately it requires me to use Mail V2.x or V3.x. I am on Mail 1.3.11 (v622/624) under OS X 10.3.9. I can't find anything that tells me whether I can upgrade to V2 or V3.
How can I find out which version of Mail works with which version of OS?

Each version of Mail is tied to the version of Mac OS X it came with, is updated together with the rest of the system when you install a system update, and won’t work elsewhere. If you want Mail 2.x, you need Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). If you want Mail 3.x, you need Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Cannot get mail message only with hotmail

every time I try to read my hotmail i receive this message, everything was working perfectly until a month ago and then I stop receiving push notifications, and isn't syncing with hotmail server
anyone knows any solution to this problem. I even restore my iPhone 4 but it still not working only works with my gmail account

Unless you are accessing your Hotmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app, you've never had Push notifications with your Hotmail account nor synced the account with the Hotmail server. Push access for received messages and syncing server stored mailboxes with the server is supported when accessing the account as an Exchange account only.
Email account settings are included with your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with the account settings on your iPhone and/or with your iPhone's backup in regards to this particular data, restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.
Have you tried deleting and manually recreating the account on your iPhone?

How do I set up photoshop to work with a touch screen?

Hi,
I just bought a 15.6" Asus Q500A touchscreen laptop with Windows 8. I downloaded photoshop and the 'touch app plug-ins' through the Adobe Application Manager for creative cloud. When I open a file in PS and select the brush(or any other) tool if I use the touch screen to drag it accross the canvas nothing happens. It still works with my mouse though.
How can I get this to work properly?

That does not surprise me. As I wrote Photoshop does not support Touch. It has supports for graphic tablets pens with wintab device drivers. It has support for mice and keyboards. No where do I see touch support documented in Photoshop manual. Here is a link to Photoshop manual search it for touch, http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/photoshop_reference.pdf The closest thing I found to touch support is the following:
========================================================================================== =======
Use the Rotate View tool
You use the Rotate View tool to rotate the canvas non-destructively; it does not transform the image. Rotating the canvas can be useful for any
number of reasons, including facilitating easier painting or drawing. (OpenGL is required.)
You can also use rotate gestures on MacBook computers with multi-touch trackpads.
1. In the toolbox, select the Rotate View tool . (If the tool isn’t visible, hold down the Hand tool.)
2. Do any of the following:
Drag in the image. A compass will indicate north in the image, regardless of the current canvas angle.
In the options bar, enter degrees in the Rotation Angle field. Click or drag the circular Set Angle of Rotation control.
3. To restore the canvas to the original angle, click Reset View.
For a video on the Rotate View tool and other workspace tips, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4001_ps. (Discussion of the Rotate View tool begins at the 5:10 mark.)
Disable trackpad gestures (Mac OS)
If you have a MacBook computer with a multi-touch trackpad, you can use the trackpad to flick, rotate, or zoom images. This functionality can
greatly increase your efficiency, but you can disable it if inadvertent changes occur.
1. Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Interface (Mac OS).
2. In the General section, deselect Enable Gestures
========================================================================================== ===========
My Wacom Intuos 5 Touch device driver has some touch support for some Photoshop features. I do not try to finger paint I use the Wacom pen for that. I also do not get the strange finger paint in Photoshop when I use my finger to move the mouse cursor with the Wacom Intuos 5 touch support. Starting outside an image window or inside one,
However if I add two finger support add tap to click I can finger paint and also use other tools. However I'm not into finger paint so I do not configure Touch support that way for Photoshop.
