TS3103 hotmail email setup on OS X Mail 6.2
I need to know how do setup to receive the Hotmail email in Mail 6.2 in Mac OS X 10.8.2
Configuring Windows Live Hotmail follows the same general sequence as configuring most any mail client for most any mail server — mail servers are more or less the same everywhere, though the services and ports can vary. Put another way, you need to acquire some information for the target mail service (the server host names for the mail-send and mail-receive paths, whether IMAP or POP3 is used, whether SSL/TLS is used or not, and possibly the TCP portI(s) involved (if not the standard ports, and this is rare), and these configuration details are covered in the Apple cheat sheet (below).
Here are what I think the Hotmail settings are (I don't have a login over there, so I can't confirm these):
Windows Live Hotmail appears to use the the pop3.live.com server and TCP port 995 (that's POP via TLS/SSL) as the receive path with your Hotmail email address as your user and your Hotmail password, and the smtp.live.com server and TCP port 587 (That's SMTP submission port with TLS/SSL, again with your Hotmail email address and password as your credentials).
Configure these settings manually (or possibly via the Wizard) and you should be good to go.
Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail does apparently also permit outbound SMTP connections via port 25, but I'd recommend against configuring and using that port, as that port tends to be blocked outbound from many networks.
Here is the general Apple Mail troubleshooting information.

Hotmail emails are going missing in Mail
Hi
Has anyone found a resolution to this problem. All my Hotmail emails download fine into Mail when I configured it the first time but now when I go to click on a particular email, the whole folder content disappears. The messages are still on my actual hotmail account, but are just not shown in Mail.
Any ideas please....resolved

i have yahoo email setup problem . about imap !!
Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

Using my work email setup on my iPhone 5 I am able to send emails to all my colleagues on same network but I am unable to send the email on my own hotmail account. Please help !!
I have setup email using POP settings.Okay, so you are sending mail from a work account on the iPhone 5, however if you try to send it to your hotmail or gmail accounts from the same work account, they are not received on the hotmail or gmail account? Is that correct?
YES - (The message is shown as delivered as its moved to sent folder)
Then secondly, if you attempt to send mail to anyone from the hotmail or gmail accounts on the phone to anyone at all, they show sent but never arrive. Is that correct?
NO - I dont have any hotmail/gmail account setup on my phone. Its a new work phone and I only have work email account setup on the phone. I was just trying to send a test email to my hotmail and gmail account but failed to receive those using my work email account on iphone 5.
I have tried receiving email on my work account on iphone, sent from my hotmail account (using web) and received it.
Incoming is all fine and I am able to receive emails from all sources but outgoing is only sucessful if I send it to anyone using my company's email account.
Sorry if my question wasn't clear earlier. I really need to fix this..
Best regards, -
Mac Mail displaying incorrect name to the "To" and "from" field of all of my Hotmail emails
When Hotmail is viewed via Mac Mail, the To: field displays the recipient’s name & Hotmail address. There is a serious problem with my incoming Hotmail … instead of displaying my name and Hotmail email address it displays my friend’s name (initials are RB) alongside my Hotmail email address ... for every Hotmail email that is sent to me no matter who emails me. My contact/address book entries for my name and my friend are correct in Mac Address Book and Hotmail Contacts. Very strange.
Mac Mail seems to be adding recipient name to the To: field of all of my Hotmail emails & putting in the wrong name next to my email address! I say this because the officialwww.hotmail.com site only displays a recipient email address in the To: field (no name appears). This error is only happening in Mac Mail with my Hotmail emails (not happening with my Gmail and Yahoo emails).
How/why is a wrong name/my friend's name displayed next to my email address in every Hotmail message I view in Mac Mail?
This error is only occurring in incoming Hotmail messages addressed to me. Emails that I send using my Hotmail show my name & email address correctly in the From field.
Thank youMail has Smart Addresses that will display the name and email address under Preferences > Viewing, but your issue sounds like a different issue.
Did you setup an outlook.com alias in Outlook.com when it made the transition? If not, add an alias and see if that helps. You can also test sending from the outlook.com alias to see if the results are as expected.
For example if your Hotmail email is [email protected] then setup an alias [email protected]
If that fails, test in a new User.
Create a new User in System Preferences.
Log into your new User.
You can skip the Apple ID setup unless you are testing iCloud.
Select Don't Sign in > Continue > Skip
Open Mail and enter your Hotmail account.
Does the problem go away? -
How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail
how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
BrendonHi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem. -
Import Hotmail emails to Apple's Mail
I use Apple's Mail program for my primary email but I also have a Hotmail account, but I get so much spam that I want to close it. However, before closing it I would like to import all email from this Hotmail account into Mail but Mail's import feature does not list Hotmail, only "Other". But when I choose "Other" it asks me to select an application but of course Hotmail doesn't show up. Bottom line--how can I import my Hotmail emails into Apple's Mail?
Download this, it works really nice

I am very concerned about this since my Hotmail account has been my primary email address for over ten years and appears on my business cards, etc. I am trying to avoid the hassle of creating another primary email elsewhere.
Thanks in advance for your help in resolving this problem.
Here is some background information:
Using Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
My Hotmail address ends with @msn.com … not Hotmail.com.I don't think this is a Mail vs. GoDaddy issue. Rather, it looks like a DNS issue. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it'll ask for your password, regardless of whether that's really the problem or not. It could be that mail.yourdomain.com isn't resolving to the right IP address for some reason, for example.
Although unlikely in this case, it could also be a Keychain issue. Open Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the Keychain. If that doesn't work, you may try removing the password entry from the Keychain, and let Mail create it again.
Also, open Mail Help and read the article titled Mail keeps asking for my keychain password, in case there is something there that applies to you. There is a related article titled My password is not saved that you should ignore, as the last suggestion provided there (deleting the mail account) is wrong and could cause irretrievable data loss if this is not an IMAP-type account. -
Help setting up Mail - to work with my MSN and Hotmail email accounts.
Can you walk me through the entry steps in setting up Mail to recognize my MSN and Hotmail email accounts. I don't know how to do this. Please keep it simple, what entries I need to make, screen by screen. I'm indebted to you.
JimHi,
First of all you might want to double check the settings you are using for the POP3 account in Mail with Microsoft's instructions:

Mail app is not showing new Hotmail emails
Hi everyone:
I'm not sure what to blame here -- Hotmail or this upcoming iOS7 release. Let me explain. Since long ago I set up several Hotmail email accounts on my iPad 2 in the built-in mail app. Everything used to work great but since recently the mail app doesn't seem to update automatically if I have new emails. Only when I open up the mail app and manually drag the list of emails down to fresh it, only then it loads them up -- something like a dozen at a time. This is a fairly recent thing. It'd be nice if it was loading them up as they come -- like it used to do.
Any idea what's going on there?
PS. I tried force-closing the mail app, as well as rebooting the iPad. It didn't help.
PS2. I have not installed or changed anything on that iPad for a long time -- only the updates that come out in the App Store.You dont happen to have any other accounts to see if it is just hotmail do you? Lets try turn off/on push, setting > mail, contacts, calendars and delete account and readd again, and lastly setting > general > reset > reset network setting (it will take off your wifi passwords/cellular info/vpns).

How to stop mail downloading ALL of my hotmail emails
Basically I am setting up Mail, and it is downloading ALL of my hotmail emails... there's 1623 of them! How can I stop this? Perhaps letting it only download emails from the past 2 weeks etc?
What version of [Mac] OS X are you running on your Mac? (Your profile says iOS 7.0.1, but that system is for iPhones and iPads, not Macs.)
If you are running a recent version of OS X, Mail should have a mailbox group named "FLAGGED" in the left sidebar. Click on it to view all flagged messages; click on one of the flag colors listed under it to view messages flagged with that color.
