Still can't send emails through Mail for my Hotmail Account!!!

Hi,
It's been weeks now without being able to send email from my 'Mail' programme which is linked to my Hotmail account.
All I get is a message coming up saying:
'Cannot send message using the server Hotmail'
'Connections to the server "smtp.live.com" on the default ports timed out'
'Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click 'Try Later' to leave the message in your outbox until it can be sent'
Where I have the option to choose an outgoing mail server the only choice I have is 'Hotmail' which displays as 'Offline'
What the **** is going on?????
Is this to do with Hotmail now changing to 'Outlook'???
Help!!

Hey,
I found this worked for me, just check your hotmail settings are as follows
You change your POP to IMAP like this
Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.
Incoming server:
IMAP: imap-mail.outlook.com
Port: 993
Encrypted Connection: SSL
Outgoing server:
SMTP: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 25 or 587
Encrypted Connection: TLS
Username: Your Username
Password: Your Password
This won't work on mac os x mail unless you disable pop in your outlook.com account first. If you have mac os x mail, and you don't disable pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will automatically setup pop and smtp.

  • Loaded Outlook mobile app and now I can't send emails through Mail ("Unable to verify account information" error message).  Can't use the Authenticator number, either.  Help!

    I installed the Outlook mobile app on my iPhone using my Hotmail email address and the authenticator code.  It works, but I can no longer send emails from Mail.  I have not forgotten the password, so I don't know why I am unable to send messages from my mail email account (linked to Hotmail) in Mail.  Should I delete the Outlook mobile app?  Please help!  Thanks.

  • I can't send emails on iPhone with my hotmail account. Is it not possible?

    I can't send emails on iPhone with my hotmail account. Is it not possible?

    I am having the same issue. It started this week. I have 2 email accounts on my phone. One is a hotmail. And the other one is a network solutions email. I can receive from both but not send. I've deleted the accounts and added them back on and nothing. I'm going crazy because one is my work email!

  • TS3276 When I try sending emails through Mail with my iCloud account, it says "Unable to Sign Message"

    I cannot send messgaes through Mail with my iCloud account. Whenever I try sending them, it tells me "Unable to sign message".
    Does anybody know how to fix it?

    Check if you have set the correct language and country in your Apple TV. Maybe you are trying to connect to the wrong iTunes store.

  • Can't send email through Apple mail

    I suddenly am not able to send email through Apple mail on my MacBookPro.  ipad and iphone still working.  I can also send email through att online.  My email is @att.net, and the message says "The server cannot be contacted on port 465".  (That is the proper port)

    Hi,
    Here are some suggestions,
    1. Try downloading another free email client to see if it works from there, just to eliminate other possibilities.
    2. Try removing the account in mail settings, and adding it again with the correct settings.
    Let me know what you find!

  • HT1694 Can't send emails through Hotmail account

    This just started.  I can receive emails, but can't send emails through Hotmail account. iPhone says I need to check my settings (password).  I have correct password in settings.  Any help?

    Hello reedstrom,
    Sorry to hear you are not able to send emails from your Hotmail account.  Sending emails is a very important feature of the iPhone, and the fourth section in the following tutorial has steps for checking your Outgoing Mail Server settings.

  • HTC One--can't send email through GoDaddy

    I was searching for a reason why my husband's HTC One can't send email through GoDaddy's smtp server and came across a locked thread that I can't paste in this post. None of the suggestions worked for me. In checking GoDaddy's site, there was a suggestion to log into the Mobile Mail, which I did. Now I just have a shortcut to that website on the phone. I was never able to get the smtp settings to work on his phone. I just thought someone might like to see what finally worked for us.

  • TS3276 Trouble Sending Email Through Mail

    I'm havng trouble sending email through Mail on MacBook Pro.  I'm using Lion and everything is up to date.  I receive email just fine, but when I go to reply the little wheel thingy just spins and spins, and eventually my emails get sent to the Out box and are never sent.  It's an AT&T email account that I'm using.  If I go through Yahoo, I can send the emails just fine, but I'd much rather use Mail.  Any ideas on what to do?  This just started.

    You have a setting wrong OR. I also use ATT/Yahoo mail for some of my email accounts and earlier this morning the ATT/Yahoo email system was down.
    If that is not the problem, ATT/Yahoo system down, then it is simply you do not have the SMTP settings correct.
    The server address is smtp.att.yahoo.com and you must have your complete email address, [email protected]/net where attdomian is bellsouth/att/southwest(not sure if that is one of them)/whatever DOT com or net for your domain. It has to included what comes after the @ sign. Some email programs strip what comes after the @ sign out of your logon info. And of course you must have the correct password entered.

  • TS3899 I still can not send email from my ipad but iPhone works on those accounts

    I still can not send email from my .mac account or a .comcast.net from my ipad. I how 2 people so far that has brought to my attention. We have exchange accounts setup on the ipads for work. I compare the settings from iPad to iPhone from my view it appears identical. I am looking at an iPad 2 and a Mini.
    I turned on and off the ipads and nothing really changed. The emails come into those accounts.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    When you say you can't send...as in they never get the email?  Does the email appear to send?  Error message?  When?
    It may be more than one iPad that has a problem....

  • TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password.  This started yesterday.  I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

    I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address.  This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so.  There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail.  I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

    I fixed the problem.  I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password.  No more pop-ups

  • HT1694 I did that, still can't send email, Ipod touch STILL says account information is incorrect (it's not) what now then???

    I followed the steps detailed on the help page for resolving email issues with Hotmail (Live.com) did everything listed, followed all the steps, still can't send email, Ipod touch STILL says account information is incorrect (it's not) what now then???

    Can you access the account on another device?
    Have you tried when connected to another network?
    Have you tried deleting the account from the iPod and reentering the settings since it is easy to make an error.

  • I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

    I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

  • I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas?

    I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

    Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
    Good Luck to you.

  • I have tried to send photos through text messaging and it will not send. I thought my iPhone 3 was giving out so I got my iPhone 4 last night and still can't send photos through text message. What is the deal??

    Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.
