Sync with Hotmail folders in Mac Mail

I was able to connect with Hotmail in the Mac Mail program (ver 3.6 935/935.3) via POP3 settings published at http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
However, I am not able to view any of the folders in my Hotmail. I can do so in Entourage though, like drag and drop emails in different folders within Hotmail. Why can I not do the same here? What else do I need to set / enable for this?
On the far left pane in the Mac Mail field, I see a section for "MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "ON MY MAC" (which contains local folders) and "RSS". Shouldn't I be able to see a section here for folders within Hotmail?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Neeraj

Yes, what I think may be the case here is that adding a mailbox shows as "On My Mac" so OP is looking for a way to store "Off his Mac". You've also provided a solution for that but may be just a basic misunderstanding of the way Mail works.

Hotmail folders on mac mail

just got a new imac (2013 spec) and im new to this system
how do i set up my mac mail so i can view all of my folders in my hotmail.com account?
i have the folders on my iphone and ipad but they dont come up on the mac.....

Hotmail is now available as IMAP. Setup as IMAP and Mail will download all your folders.
Outlook.com now has IMAP

OS X Mail actually configures for you, when you opt for a Hotmail or Outlook account.
Mail will ask for your account name, username, and password for Hotlook. Just click till the Mail app does its thing and you should have your Hotlook mail. Mail will provision the settings for the correct incoming/outgoing mail servers, for Hotmail (POP3) or Outlook (IMAP).

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

Was wondering if it is possible to sync the folders in mac mail on my imac to my mac book pro rather than recreating them

There are two standard protocols for receiving email, POP and IMAP. In the POP (Post Office Protocol) when messages are "read" by your email client (Mail) they are downloaded and stored on the reading computer and deleted from the POP server. When you are using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) the messages remain on the IMAP server until they are deleted. IMAP was created for exactly the situation you are trying to achieve. For example Apple's iCloud (formerly me.com, formerly mac.com) uses IMAP protocol. So whether I access my email on my Mac, my iPhone, my iPad, or via webmail I have access to all the files in all the various mailboxes automatically because they are all seeing and using the same online mailboxes. If I delete a message on any of the varioius devices it is deleted on all of the various devices.
Whether you can use IMAP protocol or not depends on your email host and whether they have an IMAP server or not. Many ISPs do not offer IMAP because they do not want to bear the expense of the additional disk space required to store the IMAP messages. As I mentioned before Apple's free email service is by default IMAP. Google Mail offers a somewhat non-standard IMAP service. It works with Apple's email client, Mail, but it is just a bit "different".
Personally I resisted using IMAP for years. Largely because I had always used POP and was comfortable with it. Once I got an iPhone and needed to synch my email between my computer and iPhone I realized IMAP was "the only way to go."

IMac Mail App every sync with Hotmail Mail,Contacts,Cald

Will Apple's iMac Mail App every sync with Hotmail Mail,Contacts,Calendar like the Ipad Mail App Does? I really would like to start uing the iMac Mail App. By the way I'm a first time Mac user.

I have the new 27" that just came out this year and I'm running OSX 10.8.2

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

Empty import folder when importing Mac Mail 6.5 folders to Mac Mail 4.5

When importing Mac Mail version 6.5 folders into Mac Mail version 4.5 the resulting import folder is completely empty. The import process happens instantaneously and no error occurs. Does anyone know if 6.5 is not backwards compatible with 4.5?

That's almost as ludicrous as the reason I'm trying to import new mail into an older version. At least I know now to quit trying. Thanks for the answer.

My e71 stopped sync. with hotmail server

Im using nokia messaging so..
Hotmail hasnt work for me for about 2 days ago I guess
I received an email from nokia today that says:
"Dear nokia messaging customer,
Recently, our email service has been unable to connect your email service provider, preventing email delivery to your phone. this may occur due to one of the following reasons:
1. through your service provider, you have changed the email password of your email address. if so, you must update your nokia messaging service account with your new password email messages will then be delivered to your phone
2. the server for your email adress is down. For more information, contact your service
3. You might have inadvertently changed a setting in your nokia messaging account. Login to your NMA on the website "xxxxx" to determine wheter your information needs to update
So whats up with this? options 1 and 3 are not an option since I havent changed anything. so Im guessing once again nokia messaging is having problems with hotmail.
Now I want to ask to the public if your sync. with hotmail works? or has any other experience this kind of trouble?
Any feedback will be appreciated

I had exactly the same problem.
Hotmail mail client, E71 phone, same message from nokia messaging
I fixed it by going to http://email.nokia.com and login in
Under the "My email address" section go to edit setting for you hotmail account.
Re enter you hotmail account password and exit the website.
Done
I too had no been altering any passwords, its almost as if nokia messaging had lost or deleted it.
Hope it works

I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists

I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists. I really want my hotmail back and for the hotmail folders to be accessible. Gmail is working and the folders are accessible. My iphone already receives my mail so I don't want to effect that. Any help please?

You need to post in the Mail forum area of whichever os you are using (which you did not indicate).

Want Folders in Mac Mail on Mac Mail Web, Too.

I use my folders in Mac Mail as storage places. I'd like those folders to be in my Mac Mail on the Web, too, so I can access those folders when I'm not at my home computer. Do I sync? Or how do I make that transfer?
Thanks!

For what type of mail account (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If POP, there is no way to do what you want. If IMAP or .Mac, Mail Help’s “Creating a mailbox” article explains how to create server-stored mailboxes instead of locally stored ”On My Mac” mailboxes.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

Is there any way to get my reminders (from the new iPhone app) to sync with something on my laptop (Mail, iCal, some other desktop app)?

Yes, if you have iCloud set up on your phone and computer, then reminders will be synced through iCal.

Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.

Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.
We have hundreds of WRP400 connected with Mac (Machintosh) computers. No special configurations are applied (no virtual server or DMZ). Web navigation, P2P programs and sending mail without attachment work right.
The problem is the impossibility to send mails with medium or big size files attachment from MAC Mail.
If we use Windows PCs or a different linksys routers (eg. WRT54G) the problem not happens.
We have upgraded WRP400 firmware version from 1.00.06 to 2.00.05 but the result is the same. Sending mail with attachment using Mac fails.
We tried to configure WRP400 with DMZ to a particular MAC. We tried to configure Virtual server on tcp 25 port of a MAC. The result is always the same.
This is a WRP400 bug? Windows PCs work right. MAC and MAC mail works right with other linksys router.
We need help. Thanks.

The problem was fixed since beta firmware 2.00.11.
I think that this issue was caused from a bug that decrease upload bitrate of WRP400 after some days of activity.
See more details on Cisco forum under title "WRP400 stops responding after browsing certain websites".
Thanks.

Hi there kushfromgbr,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
About SyncServices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
OS X Mavericks
OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.
If you would like more information about setting up iCloud on your devices you can take a look at the article below.

My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks
