TS3023 Setting up hotmail in Mac OS X in Mail App with IMAP

How do I set up my Hotmail and MSN email accounts on my MacBook Pro Retina Display running Mavericks OS X (Version 10.9.1)?
I set up my hotmail.com or msn.com email on my MBP and then when I delete emails from my MBP the email is deleted from the computer but not on the iPhone, iPad, or online at the Outlook.com website. It's only deleted on my MBP.
I've set it up in IMAP with the correct settings but I must be doing something wrong.
I've set it up as an "Exchange" account and also an "Add another account" with no success.
Step by step instructions please.
Thank you.

Hi Sheila,
I am using a mac air and ipad mini. My mac is OS X 10.9.1
I looked at your link and used it step by step to set it up but was advised to initially put in a dummy email so that it allows me to add in imap.
Firstly my ipad is all working and my hotmail account is well synched. However with my mac after adding my hotmail account is does not work 100%
Inbox shows up along with all my folders, however i have the following problems:
     1-attachments seem to be 'empty' when i try and open them?
     2-when i do things on imail it does not seem to synch with my original hotmail account online, but my ipad and original hotmail account synch perfectly. ie. if i read an email on ipad it shows as read on the other, same with deleting emails etc. but this does not happen on the mac.
     3)I then went to add another email account (hotmail) and all the folders appear with emails in but the inbox reamins empty, i can still send emails from this account but no new emails show in the inbox despite emails showing in sent, draft etc.
I have been told conflicting information about what to put in as server names when setting up the account, maybe this is the problem?
Also should i be able to view attachments in emails when offline? My email is not so so large so i would like to be able to?
Thank you in advance for any information.

Apps store icon no longer available, book shelf will no longer access the store, and my mac pro will not sinc apps with my iPad. What's up?? How do I correct? This is after upgrading to iOS6 and Mountain Lion.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Using another from address for Gmail account in Mac OSX Lion's Mail app

Hi,
On my iPhone I've set up gmail as an Exchange accout and when I send an e-mail, my from address appears to be the one I select as default address in gmail preferences.
Is there any way to achieve this in Mac OSX Lion's mail application?
Regards,
Erdem Kucuk

Hmmm, not sure what is going on, but from the Mail log, neither of those IPs have a name associated with them, 1st one is in Netherlands, 2nd one is iin Africa!???
Any idea why it'd be looking those up?

Hotmail on iPhone Or ipod touch mail app!!!

Hey people. Im only making this post to help people out. After a lot of research and a lucky unxpected find, i discovered a way to access your hotmail account on your maill.app
First you need to sign up for a GMX.com mail account (completely free, and EXCELLENT)
Then once inside, you need to add a mail collector account, suck as your hotmail
(The mail collector feature in GMX accesses your Hotmail account and downloads your email messages into the mail collector folder inside of your GMX mail account.)
(Inside the iphone mail app, once you set up your gmx account to work with it, you will have access to a folder that is named: "Mail Collector" and inside will be all of your hotmail emails.)
After you have signed up for a GMX email account, here is how to configure it with the Mail app:
1. Under Settings, select "Mail", "Add Account", "Other", then "IMAP" or "POP" and use the following settings:
Name: enter your name
Address: your full GMX email address
Description: GMX
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.gmx.com (when you're using IMAP) or
Host Name: pop.gmx.com (when you're using POP)
User Name: your full GMX email address
Password: your GMX password
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: mail.gmx.com
User Name: your full GMX email address
Password: your GMX password
Advanced
Use SSL: Off (SSL only works with incoming not going, but to be sure, turn it off for both)
Authentication: Password (both incoming/outgoing)
Server port: 110 (incoming) and 25 (outgoing)
If you selected to use IMAP, you can map iPod Touch folders to GMX IMAP folders. Test first if the default mapping works before changing anything.
To change the mappings, got to Settings>Mail>GMX.
- Select "Advanced"
- Select "Drafts Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Drafts"
c. Select "Sent Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Sent Mail"
d. Select "Deleted Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Trash"
Click on "Advanced" each time to return to the prior menu after choosing a folder

It may have just been that this was the first sync. The messages are all there, but are in reverse order with the oldest message at the top of the stack. It is neither a small nor orderly stack. It may have been because it was the initial sync and this was the order that GMX pulled them from hotmail.
Then there is the lag. I guess that you, like me, tested this out by sending yourself some messages "just to make sure it worked". How long did you find the lag between sending something to hotmail and recieving it through GMX? Right now, I'm sitting on 15 minutes since I sent one and it still has not arived in the GMX collector.
Edit: Never mind on that last part. Seems Hotmail thinks something coming from my gmail account is spam. Twice. But not the ones for blue pills, lotteries from Europe, financially challenged nobility from African nations, or the young lady that wants to get to know me better if only I would stop by her site and see her new pictures.
Thoughts?

Setting up apple mail account with imap fails

Hi folks.
I have a mail address from a german provider www.all-inkl.com.
My hardware is a MacBook Air 1,7 GHz Intel Core i5 with MacOSX 10.7.5
I do not succeed setting up Apple Mail (Version 5.3) for this mail address using IMAP. Strangely it works on Thunderbird 17 for Mac.
Find the settings below (those which Thunderbird accepts):
INCOMING: imap.XXXX.de – Port 143
OUTGOING: smtp.XXXX.de – Port 587
STARTTLS
Email: [email protected]
Username: j.raff
Apple Mail says (translated from German):
"Login at the IMAP Server 'imap.XXXX.de' failed. Make sure Username and Password are correct ..."
Does anyone have a clue?

Thank you for staying with me.
And, yes, I have the same error as described above.
I double checked all details.
Still, there is some ambiguity with username and servernames. Username may either be the email OR email name before @ OR client number ... Tried all.
Btw, in the Android E-Mail App it doesn't work either. I guess I have to call the provider.

How to set iPhoto to use yahoo webmail rather than mail.app

When emailing from within iPhoto using the email icon or via the share menu option in the task bar, mail.app launches. I prefer to use (Yahoo) webmail, rather than use an email client, so how do I change this setting?
Thx in advance.

Mansel
Simply: you can’t, I’m afraid. This feature requires an E-Mail Client that supports Apple Script. Yahoo Mail is a service (not an client) that’s accessed via a Web Browser and it’s not Apple Scriptable.
FYI:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Regards

Hi, just wondering, if I use the "Hotmail" option that appears in the Mail app on my Iphone 4S, does it automatically use SSL? I've tried to look for the SSL option but it doesn't appear....

Just want to make sure it is safe to use public wifi and push notifications for my Hotmail.

I Had the same us issye on iPhone 5s. Started when 7.1 came out in April. Only was to get the mail coming through ysing the mail app was to wipe the phone clean. It only worked agsin fir 36-48 hours. I had to install the Yahoo app to just tell me mail was available. i then manually opened the appke mail app. Apple was so help. My internet provider examined my email. Eventually agter 6 months and other issues starting, my carrier took back the phone and I'm in Samsung. Miss the iPhone but after trying 3 and all had the same issue something was up. Never found the issue. Apples service and quality gas dropped.

HT201089 I am setting up an Ipad for my child and downloading apps with Ask to Buy turned on. As the parent, I am not receiving notices/requests on my device

I have an ipad mini 2 with ios 8 and and iphone 5s with ios8
I am setting up the ipad for my child and the Ask to Buy feature is on in family sharing.
I am trying to download apps from the app store and it pops up the notification that I need to Ask to Buy and the request is being sent.
The request should be coming to my "parent" device, which happens to be my iphone correct ? I'm not seeing any sort of requests.
According to the posts I've read a request is only sent once.

Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

Is there a setting in Contacts so I can I print mailing labels with just the last name of my contacts?

I'd like to print mailing labels that just show the person's last name, no first names. For example just "Smith," not John Smith. Is there a way to do this?

Help a newb with setting up Mail.app

Im trying to set up my Mail app with my email account hosted with my shared hosting service.
Ive used mail.app before...but i seem to be running into some issues.
Ive used mail.app with .mac and mobileme email addresses and they functioned properly,my issue is that using the [email protected] doesnt seem to work so smoothly.
For example when i send a message in Mail.app it stores it only in the Mail folder in Mail but in a new folder in webmail called Sent Messages.
I use IMAP for Mail.app and with my iPod Touch (which uses the same EMAIL Address).
When i send messages using the ipod touch i dont get the excess mailboxes and the sent messages/deleted messages etc get routed to the properly mailbox in the ipod touch and Webmail.
These are the extra mailboxes i get when using Mail.app
They show up in both Mail.app and my Webmail.
SOO my question is; How do i properly set it up so i only have these mailboxes:
INBOX
SENT
DRAFTS
TRASH
and that they all tie to gether?
for example; send a message in Mail.app it goes into the Sent folder on both Mail.app and Webmail instead of a bogus Sent Mail folder automatically created.
Any advice please????

From Apple's web page on Exchange with Snow Leopard:
Infrastructure requirements
• Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1.
• Exchange Web Services (EWS) must be enabled. EWS is on by default in Exchange 2007.
• Exchange AutoDiscover must be turned on for automatic setup.
• Snow Leopard uses SSL over port 443 to connect to EWS.

.mac mail and mail.app, IMAP, inbox not refreshing on web after delete

I am using mail.app with my .mac mail account. When i delete an email from the inbox it moves it to my trash in the mail.app program and takes it out of the inbox, which is normal. However, it does not do this when i open up my mail using the web. Here, the message is still in my inbox and it is also in the deleted messages folder.
So, i have searched everywhere for some answers on this but have found nothing. In trying to figure this out i realized that if i click on the trash within mail.app, the little clock refresh icon pops up, then if i click back onto the "inbox" icon it then gets the refresh clock icon. After this is done the .mac web page is correct, nothing in my inbox and it is still in my deleted.
The problem is I dont click on trash and the back to inbox everytime i use my mail.app program so when i leave the house and check my mail at work using the web everything i deleted the night before is still there.
Is this normal? is there an auto refresh? i have it set to check for new mail every 5 minutes but that doesnt seem to get the refresh thing to happen. I also have my .mac sync to sync mailboxes and settings.
any help with this is appreciated. I have searched google and many forums for the answer and have given up.
Thank you

You're welcome.
It does as the selection indicates. It automatically synchronizes changed mailboxes only after a change is made to a mailbox that is stored on the server. So when selecting a message for deletion in the account's Inbox mailbox and after the message is moved to the account's Trash mailbox which stored locally on the hard drive or on the server via Mail preferences, each changed server stored mailbox in Mail is automatically synchronized with the server at that time.

Spolight showing old deleted emails (and no account set-up in Mail app)

Hi everyone! Here is my current situation:
I had to remove my Yahoo Mail account in my Mail application months ago. So, there's no email account that is currently set-up with my Mail app with Mac right now. I was searching for a document in Spotlight and while in the middle of typing, it showed me old emails from my Yahoo Mail account.
I don't want doing a search in Spotlight and having history and results of my correspondences in my email showing in my Spotlight search. I want it completely gone in my Mac history. Is that possible?
Thank you in advance!

Launch Terminal (from Applications/Utilities) and type:
sudo mdutil -E /
It will then ask you for your password, go ahead and type it, (don't worry if it doesn't show up, that's normal) and hit enter. It will say that it is being rebuilt (the Spotlight database) , and just wait until it is done (time varies depending on size of drive, files, etc.). Voila!

Mail App deleting messages from .Mac server

Hi
I haven't seen this issue on this board. Let me know if I'm wrong.
This is on the interaction between my .Mac email account and the Mail Application. I have two email accounts set up.
I have 2 computers and keep my mail on one, so I kept my previous (Eudora) mail apps set to "leave mail on server" on the other.
I don't see a setting for this for my .Mac email account in Mail.app. When I check my mail with the Mail.app recently, on the computer where I don't keep my mail, it is deleting the mail from the .Mac account. I don't think it did this before. The mail is no longer on .Mac when I check via a browser.
My earthlink pop account seems to be working fine.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated
Quicksilver G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Whether it's correct or not depends on the
circumstances under which mail is removed from the
server. If it's because it's being moved out of the
account Inbox and into "On My Mac" custom
mailboxes, then yes, it's correct.
For IMAP-type accounts, mail on account mailboxes are
stored on the server instead of locally (you can
configure this behavior for mailboxes other than
Inbox in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox
Behaviors). Whatever you do to that mail you're
doing it to the mail stored on the server. If you
tell Mail to move a message out of Inbox,
that's what Mail does, it moves the message out of
Inbox at the server.
Thanks -- so if I understand this properly, the mail is stored on the inbox on the server, but if I have a rule that moves it to a mailbox that I created locally (imported from Eudora, for example) it moves it from the server to my local mailbox *not leaving a copy on the server*. I have lots of mailboxes that I use to sort the mail and rules to route messages. So to correct this issue I should disable the rules if I don't want the mail moved off the server and into a local mailbox.
Many thanks for your help and patience

Can't send mail with powerbook G4, mail.app, mac OS 10.5.8 and verizon smtp server.

We just made the switch to Verizon.
Setting up Mail.app with my relatively new MacBook Pro (and OS 10.8.4) was very smooth.
Not so with my wife's old PowerBook G4 running 10.5.8, which she inherited from my daughter.
It seems to set up fine, using the same settings for the servers as on the MBP (it has to be done manually), but it is unable to send mail (via the verizon smtp server). The Connection Doctor thing does not have any trouble finding the servers and connecting.
I get the "The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.verizon.net." message.
These settings work when sending email from this verizon account from her iphone, or from my MBP.
I successfully set up my .me email account on the G4 and that was able to send mail.
Couldn't find anything online to shed light on this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Your asking peers here.
You didn't say which settings you were trying to use. Lots of people are posting about switching over to the latest EMAIL settings which include pop.verizon.net and smtp.verizon.net as the servers. However it has invariably been a mistake they are making or a special requirement of there DEVICE such as a shutdown and restart.
You should take a look at http://verizon.com/emailsettings . There are both the manual settings and some automatic trouble shooters that may be able to setup your device.

Mail app for mac os x 10.5.8

Hello ... An system upgrade at the apple store for a PowerBook G4 resulted in the Mail app displaying error "You cannot use this version of the application Mail.app with this version of MAc OX X." How do I check the current version of Mail? What is the correct version? Where can I get the correct version? Thanks!

You could also download Thuderbird, a free mail app. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
