Since the end of November, I can't send mail via Hotmail from Mail.

I have had my Hotmail account set up in Mail for a number of years and it has been working fine. Suddenly, since the end of November, I can only receive emails but not send. If I try to send it says 'connections to the "smtp.live.com" server timed out'.
I have tried specifying different ports, erasing and re-setting up the account - nothing has worked. Please can someone help?

Did you set up your SPF record in your DNS? If not you can find more info about that here

Something like this is what you'll probably need
"v=spf1 a mx"
Good luck

  • How can I send files via Bluetook from my Tour to other phones?

    How can I send files via Bluetook from my Tour to other phones?
    I have even been able to pair to the other device, but I don't see the option to send/copy/move files through Bluetooth.
    I can only send my Address book via bluetooth.
    Please help!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    See this KB:
    KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
    Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the receiving device. Be aware that RIM only supports BT file transfer between BBs...with other devices is technically unsupported. But, it usually works, as long as the two devices are paired, trusted to each other, and each have all of the correct BT services enabled for the configuration of the other device.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I just downloaded the latest version of FF and now I can't send messages via hotmail.

    On April 6th, 2011 I downloaded the latest version of FF and shortly thereafter I found that I could not send mail from my hotmail account. I can receive, edit, read etc. I can do most everything EXCEPT send. I can, however, send mail from IE so it is definitely something within the new FF.

    Yup I experienced the same problem. My workaround was to throw out the latest version and go back to iTunes 10.5. I'm on a Mac so the problem is on both PC and Mac platforms. Hard to believe that this software got released with such a serious problem.

    Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
    1. Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage,follow these troubleshooting steps.

                        2. If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fiand turn off Wi-Fi.
                        3. If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    2. Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    3. Restart your iOS device.
    4. Delete the affected email account from your device.
              - Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
              - Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.

    Thanks,

  • I have the iphone 5 ios7.  Can't send mail.  Tried shutting down and deleting mail acct 3 times.  no luck

    I have the iphone 5 ios7 and am unable to send mail.  I get the message. " Cannot send mail.  The user name or password for smtp.xxxxx@@smtp.comcast.net is incorrect.  I have shut down and deleted my email account 3 times already!  Frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

    What you said in your original post is not.

    That is definitely wrong.  Again make sure its identical, and the ports match too.

  • Can you send files via bluetooth from a imac to an ipad mini

    Just purchased an ipad mini and was wanting to transfer some pictures via bluetooth from my Imac to my Ipad mini? Is this possible?
    They are paired but when it goes to transfer files, it says connection lost. Is there another way of transfering files from the computer to the ipad mini?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    No, Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as keyboards and heapphones : supported Bluetooth profiles.
    You can sync photos to the iPad via your comptuer's iTunes. Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (with iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders/albums to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    There are also third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to copy photos to (and from) the iPad via your wifi network.
    For documents you can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Ever since I updated my software, I can't send or receive pictures from people who don't have iphones

    Ever since I updated my iphone software I am unable to send or receive pics by text with people I know do not have iphones. I still can with people who have iphones. Does anyone else have this issue? I have a iphone 4.

    I have tried this but there is no option for 'MMS' activation? It just has
    iMessage (on/off)
    Send Read Receipts (on/off)
    Send as SMS (on/off)
    Send & Receive - '2 adresses'
    SMS/MMS - Show Subject Field (on/off)

  • HT1430 Can't send mail   ( can only receive mail)

    How can I receive Mai ?

    Your are asking two different and opposite the questions.
    If you can't send mail .... Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • Anyone else having problems with popups since the new security upgrade? can't get rid of them

    anyone else having problems with popups since the new security upgrade? can't get rid of them

    You may have inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it. It ought not to be related to any Apple security update.
    For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

        I love reading books on my phone, nubi. So I understasnd your desire to get this resolved in a timely manner. Unfortuantely, this is not something that Verizon supports. I would suggest reaching out to application developer. They should be able to provide you with some insight. Have a great day.

    Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

    Hi,
    I tried everythink, but same as before!
    - droppings ot the main screen
    - loosing Home Share
    now even on iPads !
    Frustrating!
    I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
    As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
    I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
    Tweety
    This is the mailbody I always use
    Hello all,
    Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
    - Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
    - streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
    This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
    I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
    Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
    As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
    Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
    - iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
    - second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
    - third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
    - fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
    - all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
    - 2 Apple TV second generation
    - 1 Apple TV first generation
    - 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
    - 2 iPads (second generation)
    all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
    At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
    I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
    Thanks for every effort in advanced.

  • HT1600 Since the latest up-date I can't see any movies.  I always returns to the main menu.  Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

    Since the latest up-date I can't see any movies.  It always returns to the main menu.  Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?  We have gone 3 days without the use of renting movies.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).
