Using Exchange for Hotmail

I am long time user of Hotmail for mail, contacts and calendar on my PC. Recently purchased MacBookPro. I share my calendar with my daughter who is a PC user. Even though when I attempt to create an exchange account (I have one on my iPhone4 and iPad) I don not seem to be able to create on the MacBook. Can someone explain problem.

I don't believe Microsoft supports accessing a Hotmail account as an Exchange account with the Mail app on a Mac as us supported with the Mail app on an iOS device.
With Outlook on Windows, this requires what is called the Outlook Connector.

How can I use iChat for Hotmail?

I would like to use iChat with hotmail... is it possible? ANy other method thatn Jabber?

Hi,
The only method at the moment to Contact MSN Buddies is using the Jabber Method and a Jabber Transport.
MSN for Mac version 8 can be downloaded as a free Standalone from Mactopia (the Microsoft Mac Pages) and can do Video chats.

Double alerts in Mail when using Exchange for gmail

I am using the Exchange type account in Mail for my gmail so that it plays nice with labels. But now when I get an email in the inbox Mail sees an identical copy in All Mail and I get two audio notifications. This was amusing at first, but the novelty has worn off. Is there a way to fix this without redoing the whole account setup? Thanks.

Hmm. Dunno. I have my Gmail set up as an Exchange account and don't have this problem. It's very well behaved. It shouldn't take but a minute or two to delete the account and set it up again. I don't know if that will solve the problem but I can't think of anything else. Sorry.

Using mail for hotmail

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to use Mail as a basis for accessing my hotmail account, if that makes sense? I believe that something similar can be done with Outlook express.

Hi
Yes, Hotmail now allows desktop mail access - follow the instructions here:

I cannot attache files using Firefox for Hotmail or Yahoo - IE works - help!

Wed night 3/2 and this am 3/4 cannot attach any files pdf or doc while using Firefox in my Hotmail or yahoo email accounts. I did a virus speep and none was found. I opened internet explorer on the same home computer and was able to attach the files via my email accounts. Any help?

You have a lot of changes to your setting in the network.http section. These are listed in the More System Details list to the right of your question under "Question Details". Do you recall making those changes, or did you use some kind of browser speedup or tuning software that could have done it?
To test how Firefox runs "uncustomized" on your system, could you do a two-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
You'll click the Create Profile button. I recommend using the default location suggested (don't click the button to choose a different folder). Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Do sites work more normally?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

I cannot get my password for Hotmail remembered in Firefox - only in I.E.

I looked at my privacy and security settings as prompted to do in Help, but cannot see why this keeps happening. I am asked by hotmail if password should be remembered, and I always click on the box to do so, but it does not work. Would prefer to use Firefox for hotmail now always as the new Bing thing that comes up in I.E. is annoying - part of the page is obscurred, it is slow to delete messages - terrible!

Remembering passwords for Hotmail (live.com) has never really worked properly for me.<br />
Sometimes it has worked with some specific login pages, but MS always made changed that caused it to stop.<br />
Currently the secure login page (https:login.live.com) uses JavaScript to generate the login form and the Firefox 3.6 Password Manager doesn't work on such pages. This may change in Firefox 4.0.
If you mean the box on the login page to remember you then that choice is kept in a cookie on your computer.<br />
In that case you need to make sure that you have an allow exception to keep that cookie.

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

Access the homescreen and tap "Settings."
Go to "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" and tap "Add Account." Your iPhone should display a list of email service providers. Even though you are setting up a Hotmail account, you will be doing it first through Gmail on your iPhone. Tap the Gmail icon to create a new account. Enter your name and a user name and password for the new Hotmail account you will be making later. Enter "imap.gmail.com" in the "HostName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen.
Enter your name, email address, password, and the description of the account. Next, click "Save." You should now be able to check your email from the homescreen.
Enter "smtp.gmail.com" in the "Outgoing Mail Server." Enter the password for this Gmail account in the "Password" column. Enter user name for this Gmail account in the "UserName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen. Press the "Home" button to return to the iPhone's home screen.
Use the Web browser to go to Hotmail.com and create a new account. Use the user name and password for the account that you entered into the Gmail account on the iPhone earlier. Click on “Settings” after the account has been created.
Click on the "Settings" tab. Click on the "Forwarding" tab. Click on the "Pop/IMAP" tab and select "Enable IMAP." Click on the "Save” button. Click on “Settings” and select “Accounts” and then “Add Another Email Address” from the webpage. Enter the name of your existing Hotmail account in the column. Press “Save.”
Go to the inbox. Open the message from Gmail and click on the link in the message box. Select the “Options” tab and check the “Forwarding email” box.
Send yourself a message to your Hotmail account from an email client. Click on the icon of the Mail program at the bottom of the iPhone’s screen. The email you sent to Hotmail will appear in the inbox of the Gmail account in the iPhone's email.

Why can't I use iCloud for exchange of data - like I could with MobileMe?

Why can't I use iCloud for exchange of data - like I could with MobileMe?
Oder auf Deutsch, warum kann ich keine Daten mehr in iCloud speichern bzw. zum Austausch bereitstellen, wie das bei MobileMe noch ging?
Danke für die Hilfe
Thanx in advance!

The purpose of iCloud is to sync data between your devices.
There is no "web address" to your files and no way to "share" them with others (except photos).

Core roles installed on one virtual server for roughly 200-300 mailboxes using Exchange 2010?

For a customer who is looking at keeping costs down, they are wondering whether setting up a virtualized Exchange 2010 server with all the core roles installed would be possible. So the mailbox, CAS and hub all on one virtual slice.
The customer has around 200-300 mailboxes.
I know that its hard to give a guess for sizing, but I was wondering if a 4 core, 16 GB RAM build on Server 2012 would be sufficient, with the storage obvioulsy being SAN. I know this is dependant upon mailbox size and usage, but I don't have those
numbers unfortunately. Would the 4/16 build be sufficient? Too much?
Any further information around this would be great. Thanks.

Hello,
I recommend you use Exchange 2010 Server Role Requirements Calculator to design your environment.
