Using Hotmail and Other Accounts

Hey. I have Leopard and was wondering if anyone else was having difficulties accessing other e-mail providers like hotmail. Every once in while the hotmail website will work but most of the time when i go to it it says its unsupported or unavailable (but the whole site loads). And most of the time I type in my e-mail and password and it says that its wrong and wont let me in when the password is correct - because it works on other computers. This has also happened on other websites where passwords are needed. Whats the deal? Thanks!

I've had the same problem with Hotmail ever since they updated to their new Beta version, way before I ever upgraded to Leopard. I was hoping once I upgraded and was using the latest version of Safari it would work, but no dice. I can access Hotmail on my desktop PC which runs on Windows and using IE.

When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in?

It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.

Hi - I cannot upload my emails through the mail icon. The first time I tried it only loaded very old emails, I then tried the whole process again and it has not imported a single email. I use hotmail, and have had no problems with my iPhone or iPad.

Hello, do you mean Download?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Mail doesn't put relevant conversations into a conversation. Could this be due to using hotmail and therefore a POP server?

I recently downloaded Lion and was wondering why the conversations in mac mail wasn't working properly. My relpy to the message goes into the conversation, but then the reply from the other person opens as a new message not in the same conversation. Is there a setting I am unaware of?
Could this be becasue I use hotmail and a pop server?

No, this is because Mail is programmed with rigid, inappropriate rules for grouping messages in conversations. There are no settings that can modify either the rules for grouping or the grouping after applying the rules. Mail thinks it's smarter than you are and won't listen to any arguments to the contrary.

I have an Envy 114 that suddenly stopped faxing. I use efax, and my account is active

I have an Envy 114 that suddenly stopped faxing. I use efax, and my account is active

Sorry to hear that you are having that problem. Do you use the free eFax account that came with the printer? With that you get free 20 fax pages in and 20 faxes pages out every 30 days. The 30 days do not run from the 1st to the 30th; but from when you set it up. So if you set it up in the middle of the month, it would run from there to the middle of next month before rolling those 30 days over. So I would check to see if you have exceeded the limit for the 30 days. You can do that on the front panel of the printer by going into to efax and then looking on that first screen that appears, you should see the monthly page count. If it is not over the limit I would log into to efax.com and make sure that under the "Update Account" option that it has the receive email listed as your printer's email address @hpeprint.com, and that it is the only one listed. If multiple addresses are listed there, the faxes will no longer print out on the printer. Also make sure that the file format under "Fax Options" is not set to tiff format.

If you look at the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. It appears you are not the only two having this problem.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.

The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts. I previously was able to select between my Microsoft Exchange Contacts (work account) and iCloud (personal), but both those options are now gone. I tried turning contacts for both off and on and rebooting, but it didn't help. Any ideas?

Just a guess but if the exchange account is from your employer, your employer may have installed a security profile to your device preventing you from adding or editing contacts in the exchange account by removing the Default Account setting. You would need to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this. You could also test this by adding a Gmail account and turning on contacts syncing with Gmail to see if the setting reappears.

Setting up Hotmail and other email accounts.

This is my first time using my new Macbook Pro and I'm struggling to access my email accounts. Can someone please help? It asks for things that I don't understand.
Thanks.

When I did it for Hotmail, it looked at the email address and found those on it's own.
If you have other accounts that it doesn't recognize simply by feeding it the address, you'll may have to contact those services for support (usually online) and find out what they expect you to use...they are all different.
You can usually type just part of the email after your name into a browser with the word setup (example: @emailsomething.com setup) and check the results.
Also, again, use the built-in help* (?), bottom right on the main prefs panel, for details on where to put server info after you find out the exact data:
-=-=-=-
Incoming Mail Server
Enter the name of the mail server where your messages arrive and wait for you to retrieve them; for example, mail.example.com. This information is typically provided by your email service provider.
Outgoing Mail Server
Select the mail server that sends your messages to their destination, or add a new server. This information is typically provided by your email service provider.

Hotmail and OTHER Email Accounts

Hi
I have set up my Hotmail account and it works flawlessly.
I also set up another email account Under the "Other" type. It RECEIVES emails fine, but when trying to SEND I get a message after a few moments that the Email was Unable to be sent to [email protected], for example, and has been placed in my Outbox. The recipient "[email protected]" was rejected by the server as it does not allow relaying".
I have made sure my Incoming and Outgoing servers have correct Passwords attached.
Any thoughts?
This is on an I-Phone4
Rgds and thaks for help

Is the SMTP server for this other account authenticated?
I believe a Hotmail account has an authenticated SMTP server.
Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the account's SMTP server is authenticated with a user name and password as is required when checking the account for new messages. When connected to the cellular network for internet access is not exception in this regard.

Multiple Exchange and other Accounts - Can Calendars Sync Individually?

I currently sync mail with my iPhone 3G (4.2.1) with two Exchange Servers, gmail, hotmail, gmx, AOL and Yahoo!. I maintain real calendars on both Exchange Servers (but not on the other accounts). Don't know whether it's relevant, but the two Exchange Servers sync via EAS, and they're on different domains. I sync calendars only with one of the Exchange accounts.
I need to - ideally - sync calendars with both Exchange Servers such that my iPhone has all my information, but I don't want calendar info from one Exchange Server to appear on the other one's calendar. I can live with inputting all calendar data into one server or the other (i.e., not entering any calendar data directly on the iPhone), but I'm afraid that once I add the second Exchange account's calendar to the iPhone, all my appointments will appear in both Exchange Servers' calendars.
Will this work?? Thanks!

The PlayBook does not "sync" email locally to the device - this is one of the selling points to the corporate world.
When you bridge the PlayBook to a Blackberry it pulls the information from the Blackberry in real time, as soon as the Blackberry is disconnected the information disappears from the Playbook so you shouldnt have any issue bridging two blackberrys,

How to hide Root user and other account ?

"not" have the other account on my mac book pro.
I need to know because my small bro is using my mac a lot nowadays and i want to know what he is up to.
I have mavericks.
THANKS ANYWAYS

Go to Shared Components/Templates.
Find the page template that you are using and click Copy.
Go into the copy and look for &USER. and #NAVIGATION_BAR# and delete.
Go to each page that does not need the user and navigation and assign the new template.
This will get rid off the user details and the navigation bar.

Our iCal is refusing to refresh, we're using mobileme and that account all looks good. Just suddenly refusing to refresh. Have resubscribed everyone, just don't know what's up with it? Any ideas? we rely on it to keep everyone on schedule!

Doh, I thought I had to cram the question into those few words - didn't realise it wa sa title! Our iCal has just recently refused to automatically refresh - if you delete it and subscribe again it won't let you. All machines affected. We use MobileMe and I've been on the account and all looks good. Is there someone we can phone to talk this through? We're a mag so we really need to all work on the same schedule and know who is off etc? Any clues?
Cheers
Beverley

Have you got a firewall? - these can sometimes cause problems.
If you are in a business environment and all on the same LAN, you might like to consider abandoning MobileMe and buying BusyCal. It's like iCal Pro in effect, with more facilities, including the ability to display ToDos in the day area: it uses the same database as iCal.
You would revert to local calendars, and BusyCal can sync them instantly between computers on the same network, with read/write access if required. (Syncing can only take place when Macs are on).
It's available in the Mac App Store and their site has a free trial period (it's more expensive on the site so you would want to delete the trial and buy from the App Store).

We use Hotmail and we want to know "how do we delete a folder"

We use Hotmail for emailing and we want to know "how do you delete a folder"

You may get more help on the Microsoft Hotmail help/forums, I take it you access Hotmail through your Web Browser.
If you access it through a Mail client, what client is that?

Problems using Hotmail and Twitter in Firefox

I'm having problems using both Hotmail and Twitter in Firefox (and Google Chrome) but they both seem to work fine in Internet Explorer. I can log-in to both sites but in Hotmail the drop-down menus and links don't work, and in Twitter the stream does not appear at all.
I've tried everything: deleted cache, history, cookies, disabled add-ons etc... I've also tried re-installing both new and older versions of Firefox and I've still had no joy. If anybody has any ideas for a fix I'd really appreciate it. I can't stand using IE but I am forced to at the moment.

My problem with Firefox & yahoo seems similar - so you are not alone.
