Using hotmail with mac mail

Is there a way to add my hotmail account to mail? When I try it asks me for the incoming and outgoing mail servers and I don't know the information. I would also like to add my yahoo account.

Using hotmail with the mail application

I would really like to use the mail program with my hotmail account, I tried an application that someone suggested but it did not work. Does anyone know of any programs that will allow me to use my hotmail in the mail application?

You're showing as running a Windows machine.
I would suggest using Google Mail. You can either set up GM to forward your messages, or configure Mail's POP3 account settings and have them brought in when you do a 'get mail'.

Cant use POP with mac mail from yahoo

everytime i try and set up my POP account from yahoo into my mac mail, it says the server isnt responding. tried it weeks ago and now today. my trial of .macs expiring soon and i need to import my email onto my desktop. anyone know how to make it work???

I'm having the same problem. Have been running Mac Mail for several months using POP with Yahoo without any issue at all. In just the last day though I haven't been receiving any inbound mail, but I can send outbound. I've called Yahoo and they say they don't support Mac Mail. They've tried to help, in fact found one setting at their end that was off, but they don't have the tools to troubleshoot Mac issues very well. I suspect it's a problem at Yahoo because I have two other non-Yahoo accounts that are coming in through Mac Mail just fine. So I'm going to call them back and see if they can find anything else.

Can I use hotmail with the Mail app?

I looked at the mail app, but didn't see hotmail in there. Can I use it on the touch after upgrading?

I had this question as well. i don't think MSN or Hotmail allows the enabling of pop mail. Therefore it cannot be used unless you subscribe it to a pop mail client. I just switched over to gmail to maike things easier. But would love to find out an answer to this question

Using Hotmail with Ovi mail (Syncing)

Hi,
Is there a way to connect OVI mail to Hotmail via POP so it checks and downloads new messages away from hotmail only when I check them via OVI?
So what I plan on doing is creating an imap folder on my OVI mail account that shows all my new hotmail messages but only when I check it via OVI
Is this possible? That will be great if it is as it'll mean imap hotmail
and I can slowly wean myself away from hotmail as well (It's rubbish for not having imap)

i had Nokia Messaging and my hotmail synced and recived my emails auotmatically and now its not. I have to sync manually sync each time now. And why cant i log on to my msn messenger through my ovi chat . I keep getting a message about the sevice not being available for my region or operator why is that.

Can't set up hotmail.co.uk with mac mail

Hello everyone, and thanks for your patience as I know very similar queries have been answered already in previous discussions.
I have just bought my first mac after years of pc use.
I would love to be able to access my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail on os x tiger.
However, despite following all previous posts as accurately as I possibly can, this still won't work. For this reason, I have transcribed absolutely everything I enter into the account setup below, to see if anyone can see where I keep going wrong.
I have downloaded httpmail (http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php) as suggested on previous posts.
Also as suggested on a previous discussion, I have set mail to run using rosetta, to help deal with any complications I may face using my intel macbook.
My email address is [email protected]
Now, when I go to set up my account on mail, I enter:
PAGE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
Account type: httpmail
Account description: Hotmail acccount
Full name: Alistair White
Email address: [email protected]
PAGE 2: INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
Username: awhitetbn
Password: ******
I am then presented with the account summary:
Account description: Hotmail account
Full name: Alistair White
Email address: [email protected]
Username: awhitetbn
Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
SSL: off
Outgoing mail server: services.msn.com:awhitetbn
SSL: off
Next page: Conclusion: a new account has been created.
Ok! All seems well, so I send a test email. However, I get the following message:
Cannot send message using the server services.msn.com:awhitetbn
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server.
However, in the pop-up menu, the only option I have is:
send message using: HTTPmail:awhitetbn
I would dearly love this to work and I sense I am not far from the solution... If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Where am I going wrong?
Many many thanks
Alistair White

Settings for outlook (formally hotmail) to be used with Mac Mail

Can anyone help please....
What are the correct settings to get my Outlook (formally Hotmail) email so I can use it through Mac Mail.
Thanks for any help out there.

Any other info gratefully welcome.
Open Mail Contacts and Calendars in System Preferences, select Hotmail, enter your userid and password.

I am using a mac mini (10.8.3) with Mac Mail 6.3 (1503). Whenever I try to forward an email with attachments, the attachments do not make it. They show being sent, but the attachments never are sent.

Hey Guys,
The title says it all. Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments. Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace. We are setup with IMAP. It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail. We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround. The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.

Back up all data.
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

Can I use Hotmail with Mail?

The title pretty much says it all, and if I can use Hotmail with it, how do I set up mail to do so? Thanks in advance.

How long have you had this Hotmail account?
Since I've never had a Hotmail account and never will, I'm not sure but I believe when Microslop made the subscription change which restricted accessing a free Hotmail account with any email client such as the Mail.app, existing free Hotmail accounts at the time the change was made were not affected.
If your Hotmail account was recently created, you must have a paid Hotmail account in order to access it with any email client.
Why bother with Microslop anyway?
You can get a free Gmail account, enable POP forwarding via the Gmail account preferences with webmail access which provides for accessing a Gmail account as a POP type account with the Mail.app.

How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail

How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail?

Nevermind, I fixed it (I think). I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically). I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
Pop account

Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

Hotmail to mac mail

I love the style and ideas behind mac mail but have far too many people that only know me on my hotmail account to convert to another email account.
Does anyone know how I can synchronize mail for leopard with my hotmail live account?
I looked online and a couple of plug-ins were suggested - I tried them but no success - it came up with a message saying I needed to download Windows live - the advanced version of hotmail which I already have!!
Can you suggest a way for hotmail to work with mac mail leopard or suggest how I can make an easy transition to another email account supported by the application?
Thanks

This doesn't work in the Windows Live Mail program. You actually have to sign in on the webmail for your Hotmail account at either www.msn.com or www.hotmail.com.
While forwarding your mail from Windows Live to another account that is natively compatible with Apple Mail (e.g. IMAP, POP3, etc.) is one solution to the problem, it is only a partial solution. When the forwarded messages are deleted within Apple Mail, they still exist on the Windows Live server. So the next time you log on to Windows Live, you see all of your previously deleted mail. And you have to delete it all. Again. Nor are the forward messages synced between Windows Live and Apple Mail: If a forwarded message is read, it does not become marked as read on Windows Live.
Try the httpmail plug-in. I swear it works. It is simple to set up, too -- I got it working in about 5-10 minutes. It is definitely compatible with Leopard, because that's what I use it with, and it offers major advantages over mail forwarding. All of my folders from Windows Live automatically show up in the Apple Mail sidebar, and I am able to freely move messages in and out of these folders. These changes are reflected in Windows Live. Messages I read in Apple Mail are marked as read in Windows Live, and vice-versa. Deleted messages are deleted in both applications, so I only have to do it once.
The one caveat is that you have to upgrade your free account to a Windows Live Plus account, which costs about US$30 per year.
Anyway, for those who might be interested, here is the download link:
http://www.automagic-software.com/httpmail/httpmailleopard1.51.dmg.gz
I am not affiliated with the author of this plug-in in any way. I just think the software offers a simple and excellent solution to a common problem. Sure works for me.

Email tracking with Mac Mail?

Is there an email tracking service that would seamlessly integrate with mac mail?
I have used mailchimp.com for one of my email marketing campaign, and I was wondering if a service like that could be integrated into mac mail with a plugin or something.
Thank You!

Sometimes getting an email with an attachment is a pain.
It isn't mac mail it is the email server you are connecting to.
There is a whole host of reasons why it can be slow.
Don't worry about it unless this freind sends you more attachments and you continue to have trouble then you need to contact the dns administrator of the mail server and report a complaint.

Password issues with Mac Mail-help!

I created a new email account through my internet provider (Comcast) and I can no longer access my email although it is showing up on webmail. The comcast person said I would probably have to change my password. I tried doing this on Mac Mail but there doesn't appear to be the usual place to type in new password and then confirm. I am not sure what password they are asking for. The mail account was set up so long ago that I have never used any password when checking my account. I also notice if I delete the password, the password dots are back when I open preferences up again. I don't understand this and Comcast will not help with Mac Mail questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You said you never used a password when checking you mail. You must have a password on the account, I don't see how you couldn't.
When you go to www.comcast.net and go to the webmail client, you must enter your username and password in order to get your messages. It's this username & password that Apple Mail requires in order to access your email.
If you want/need to change your password, you can do this at www.comcast.net from within the webmail client. When you are at your inbox on the webclient, on the left side of the screen there is a link for "Preferences". Clicking that will take you to another page and one of the options is "Change Your Password". That's where you would go to change your password for that specific email account.
Good luck,
Bronson
