Windows Live Hotmail Plus - Work in Apple Mail?

Can someone tell me if 'Windows Live Hotmail Plus' works with Apple Mail?
Can I send and receive (hotmail) e-mails in Mail without going onto the internet to the hotmail site?
I will still use the online hotmail, when I'm away from my computer.
One on my friends suggested using Gmail, but there's too much hassle changing everything over. And I mean everything... all my internet shopping accounts, all the forums account, all my contacts I have stored... plus I want to keep using Adium (all my friends have hotmail and MSN on Windows, but iChat doesn't work). So I don't want Gmail for sending them all e-mails while still using hotmail to chat... I'd rather they'd all be under the one account (hotmail).
I have set up a "test" account with Gmail. Its ok, but I think because I've been using hotmail for years it just seems really different and I have to say it... I don't like it. (this is on the website site access) - it seems very cluttered, I don't like that replies are kept in threads in one e-mail, you can't customize it... I know I'll p*ss some people of but I love hotmail.
On the plus side, it does what I want hotmail to do... it allows me to view, create and send e-mails in Apple Mail with no problems, while also having the ability to access it online when I'm away from home.
I have/still using Izymail - which can let me view and send hotmails e-mails in Mail, but all e-mails (plain text, or with a photo, or .doc file attached) are all blocked when they reach anyone else's hotmail account - even though the sender is on the Safer Sender list - so it's Izymail part which is being blocked and there's no way to fix it.
Thanks for any information.

Please tell me if you've had any luck.
I was receiving hotmail through Mail until two days ago!?!? I've been using httpmail for years and suddenly now it's not working. Actually, it's been acting up since hotmail live went online - it's very geared towards windows users!!
I can't send, receive. It says I need to subscribe to a live account (the error message in mail) - but I have a live account!! I have a plus account!!
I emailed support at hotmail but haven't received a reply.
This is so depressing. Why can't apple and windows applications just get along?

Hotmail stopped working in Apple Mail - PLEASE HELP

My Comcast and Gmail accounts work great in Mail. But I keep getting the following error when setting up my free Hotmail account:
"The POP server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable."
It allows me to click through but then when trying to sign onto my account I get this error:
"The server returned the error: The server “pop3.live.com” refused to allow a connection on port 995."
I am using the following settings:
http://lifehacker.com/5169684/hotmail-finally-enables-pop3-worldwide
I've checked with my ISP and they say they're not blocking any ports, my firewall is turned off, I get this same type of error when setting up Hotmail on Thunderbird on my Mac. I can sign on just fine on other computers mail clients in my house and I have no problem signing in via the web.
I've been having this problem for about 3 months now. My thought is that there's something internally telling the necessary ports to block all traffic but I'm stumped on how to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I only have a Hotmail account for testing to help others, but in general it has worked fine. However, yesterday and today, it keeps prompting for the password, so I deselected to include when automatically checking, and have only been using Get Mail manually, which works.
Snow Leopard appears to check often and regularly on the status of the connection to servers -- I am wondering if Hotmail is finding this objectionable?

Windows Live Hotmail and 10.5 Mail

Like many others, I bought Leopard but cannot install until I confirm a way of reading and sending hotmail messages in Mail.
I installed on my girlfriend's Mac Book which has disabled httpmail plug-in.
If I pay the subscription to Windows Live Hotmail which enables POP3, will it allow me to set up my hotmail account in Mail?
I'd be grateful if someone answer my question!

Ahh. Cheers.
Anyone else who's interested...
"As of June 30th 2008, my plugin will cease to function as Microsoft has decided to terminate HTTPMail (also known as WebDav) protocol access. They have replaced this protocol has been replaced by a new one called DeltaSync. Unfortunately DeltaSync is undocumented and uses non-standard compression and encryption of message data. Until these issues can be resolved there is nothing I can do to fix my plugin.
If you have a Hotmail Plus account you should still be able to access your mail using the POP3 protocol. The details for setting up POP3 access is as follows.
Incoming mail server: pop3.live.com (port 995)
Outgoing mail server: smtp.live.com (port 25)
Username: your full hotmail email address
NOTE: the outgoing mail server requires authentication "

Not really a problem with Firefox per se; just wondering how I set Windows Live Hotmail as my default mail client.

I am switching from ymail to hotmail as my mail client. I am having a VERY difficult time switching my default mail client to Windows Live Hotmail from Yahoo Mail. Please help!!!!! I have followed all the directions for IE8 but of course they don't work with Firefox. Could you send me in the right direction? Thank you so very much for your prompt attention to this matter.

Hello David.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

How to get emails from Windows Live Hotmail

Hi,
Don't tell me I didn't read the FAQ, I know they talk about that but apparently this FAQ is older than my grandmother, links don't work anymore or when they do, the applications are no longer maintained.
Plus pop3 should work now with Windows Live Hotmail.
Anyway, when I try, the authentication is ok, but I get an exception saying that my mailbox is not available or something like that (I can give you the exact message when I am back on Eclipse).
My code works for gmail, yahoo, and other simple webmails.
So, today, at the end of 2008, is there someone who is able to read his Windows Live Hotmail emails thanks to Javamail (or any other Java API)?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
In the FAQ, for the question "Can I use JavaMail to read mail from my web mail account (such as Yahoo or Hotmail)?", these links don't work: "JHTTPMail project" and "http://mrbook.org/mrpostman/"
About my code, here is what I get when I test:
DEBUG: setDebug: JavaMail version 1.4ea
DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[STORE,pop3,com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Store,Sun Microsystems, Inc]

Windows Live Hotmail service notification issue

Hi,
I've created this chat discussion based on this:- http://blogs.nokia.com/messaging/index.php/2009/11/16/windows-live-hotmail-service-notification/
I'm using the E72 and based on the above mentioned issue, I've try syncing my email after re-entering password. It does sync. However, I encounter an issue where the inbox is empty. Sent folders do sync. I wonder what could be configured wrongly. Login to email.nokia.com and tick some folders (I ticked 4, max of 10) and it does not resolve the issues. Try email.nokia.com from the phone browser to reinstall and it said this phone model already has the latest Nokia Messaging.
Is it because I have alot of folders (more than 10) in Windows Live Mail that is causing the issue? I have yet to try with other Windows Live Mail account. Would like to clarify. Anyone else having the issue? Email works with my company email so far.
Also, I have an issue with Chat where signing in to Yahoo, Windows Live, you'll always have this error "A temporary service problem. Try again later. (Code920)". Seems to be permenant error to me... Maybe server issue ah?

Update for 19 November 2009.... The mail works today! I guess nokia enginners managed to fixed the issue with hotmail. Good Work since you guys reported the issue on your blog on 16 November and managed to fixed the issue in a short amount of time! Just do a reboot of the phone, connect to internet and it syncs!
But still, I have an issue with Chat where signing in to Yahoo, Windows Live, you'll always have this error "A temporary service problem. Try again later. (Code920)". Seems to be permenant error to me... Maybe server is down?

Verizon emails being rejected by Windows Live Hotmail servers

Hi
Since yesterday, Tues. Sept. 22nd. there has been a problem sending out emails to my friend who uses q.com DSL which is Qwest. They use Windows Live hotmail servers for their email. Yesterday, I got a bounced notice from Windows Live Hotmail. This is a copy of the bounced email notice I got today.
Reason: Server rejected MAIL FROM address.
Diagnostic code: smtp;550 SC-004 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. A block has been placed against your IP address because we have received complaints concerning mail coming from that IP address. If you are not an email/network admin please contact
Remote system: dns;mx2.hotmail.com (TCP|206.46.173.15|63065|65.55.92.136|25)
On Tues. I sent my friend 1 email which came back to me. I had been using port 25 after Verizon had a problem with port 587 a few weeks ago. I changed the port back to 587 and resent the email.and that time it went thru. Today, I sent my friend another email and it got bounced back again. I had sent it to his q.com address. I resent it again, but this time to his live.com address and I got the same bounced message back but with a different remote system since it was live.com this time. I tied a 3rd time and the same thing.
I've had problems before with Verizon and hotmail sending me back bounced notices. I went to look at the Live Hotmail Forum for problems with hotmail. I just looked now and there are like 7 pages of people who have Verizon email addresses that are getting blocked by Windows Live Hotmail servers. From what i glanced thru. it seems that Verizon email servers have been placed on Hotmail's black list. There are actually 1000''s of people complaining. Some have called up Verizon tech support to be told that this is a hotmail server problem. From what I have gathered from glancing at those posts, there is like nothing being done about this except placing blame on each other. This is affecting both residential and business accounts. This is affecting I guess Qwest DSL service also I guess since my friend uses Qwest and I suppose if anyone knows people who use Qwest, they won't be able to email them either. This is a tremendous issue that needs to be resolved quicly. I am surprised I haven't seen any posts in this Forum about this issue. I haven't tried anyone else who has a hotmail addy since I really don't know any that check their hotmail accounts.
Can someone from Verizon please get together with Windows Live Hotmail and get this fixed ASAP.
Here is the address of Windows Live Hotmail and you can see all the people who have posted there from Verizon who are having problems. I don't know how many people this is affecting, but I want and have to be able to reach my friend by email. Please get this problem fixed. If it is a problem on Hotmail's side, please work with them to get this fixed instead of shifting blame on each other. Please someone in authority get back to me and get Verizon and Hotmail working again, actually, I guess in my case it is Qwest and Verizon which indirectly is Verizon and Hotmail. From what I can gather it's affecting just about all of Verizon... Please help ! ! ! ! ! Thank you....

Yes, I know it says that my ip was blocked. However, on Tues. I tried sending an email to my friend that I mail every day.The first email got bounced back. I resent it and it went thru ok and he received it. On Wed. I sent him another email and it got bounced back. He has a q.com email address which uses Windows Live Hotmail servers. He also has a live. com address. Same thing happened with both addresses. On Wed. I resent that email 2 more times and it got bounced back. I waited a whle and resent it for a 4th time and didn't get a bounce back. I sent one today and no bounce back. It is a sporadic problem and apparently Hotmail did something to their servers or filters on Tues. which affected Verizon customers. Of course not all of them but a large number of them. If you check out the Windows Live Hotmail help site, you will see a notice on top of the site now saying that there are problems with sending emails using their servers. I was able to send emails to some other people last night too without a problem. Their error codes probably don't have one that would say blocked a particular ISP. I've had this range of ips for quite some time now also. Odd, that I only saw people in mass from Verizon complaining about getting blocked and not from other isp's. You will find posts about this in DSL Reports Forum also in both the DSL section of the forum and the Fios section under the Verizon Forum. I am hoping that it might be fixed now since that 4th attempt went thru and my email went thru the first time today also. I wasn't being blocked to all hotmail accounts as far as I know. I don't even have a hotmail account since I just use Verizon account basically. As I say, I hope it's fixed now. From what I heard about the problem is that it was the Verizon servers that send out mail that were on the black list, but I doubt that also.

How can I sync Windows Live Hotmail to my iPhone?

I'm using Firefox as my browser. I want to sync my email from my computer to my iPhone. My email is Windows Live Hotmail.

You can directly set your email for Windows on your Iphone. Go to settings and then Mail. You should be able to add your email over there. All your email will appear on your Iphone.Firefox has nothing to do with your email from what I know. But if you want your bookmarks,tabs etc then getting Firefox Home app would be a good idea.Its not a browser but it will help you sync your bookmarks/tabs etc.
Here is the link-

HT2500 links no longer work in apple mail.

links no longer work in apple mail, even though they do work on other mail services?

This is typically an issue of setting the web preference in the WINDOWS preferred programs. In Win7 this is accessed from Control Panel>Default Programs>Set Program Access...>Custom. Maybe these options will give you an idea of the problem.

Named Anchors not working in Apple Mail

Hi... we have an HTML Email Newsletter. About 2 months ago the named anchors (links) from the top to different parts of the email stopped working right. For years, named anchors would simply go to the section of the email that you desired. The location of the anchor would appear at the top of the email window. Recently, the links have still worked, but Apple Mail would put the location at the bottom of the email, requiring the user to scroll down to see the content. And even more recently, now we have to double-click the link at the top to get it to work, and still incorrectly.
At first, this seemed to only not work in system 10.6. But now it's working the same way in 10.5. I am surprised a web search hasn't found anyone else with this problem. It affects not only our emails, but any email that has a link from the top of the email to any other part of the email.
Is this just a bug in Apple Mail or is there a fix? Thanks in advance!

I have exactly this same problem - anchors now move the cursor so that the desired text is just off the bottom of the message window, and one has to scroll to see it.
This is obviously an error - it is inconsistent with all web / anchor behavior I am familiar with.
What's going on?????

Why does my Windows Live Hotmail take forever to load?

Over the past month or so, my Firefox browser hasn't been playing very nicely with Windows Live Hotmail. For one, it takes forever to load the page, and I stare at a white screen for a good 3 minutes before it finally loads. HughesNet is my Internet Service Provider, and it shouldn't take that much time for my Hotmail to load. I could see it if it were a DialUp connection being this slow! The other thing I want to mention is that for some reason, my SilverLight plugin keeps crashing! All of my 3rd party plugins are fully up to date, including my SilverLight. It won't allow me to upload pictures to attach to e-mails! Instead, I get a sad face, telling me that my SilverLight has crashed! What is the problem that is causing this? So you know, I have the latest version 9.0.1, and it is fully up to date. Thank you. Michael Gronemeyer

Hi,
Please try a '''Ctrl''' + '''F5''' refresh. This helps to bring in content afresh.
Please also check if the page loads okay in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] Additionally, you can also try to '''Enable''' Silverlight via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Plugins''' on the left and check if Silverlight still crashes.

How can I restore my Windows Live Hotmail to its previous good performance?

SAT P200-1FC
All of a sudden I cannot reply to incoming emails or send attachments on my Windows Live Hotmail account. It works perfectly on my PC but not on this laptop. Have I pressed something in error? It will receive incoming emails, and I can send new emails but cannot continue a thread?

Hi
In my opinion its not a Toshiba notebook issue
In your case I would recommend checking the configuration of your Hotmail account
Maybe you have to change something I recommend checking the Hotmail user support page.

I cannot get my Windows live hotmail acct. to access my email. Windows support suggests I optimize my browzer, but don't know how to do that

I cannot get my Windows live hotmail acct. to access my email. Windows support suggests I optimize my browzer, but don't know how to do that. I never had a problem before and have always used Mozilla Firefox as my browser. The Firefox4 also looks different since I changed it. No Google bar in the center, or the Mozilla logo.

You can do a test if it works in Private Browsing mode. In PB mode the disk cache isn't used and also the currently saved cookies are not available.
You can enter Private Browsing mode if you select:
* Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
*Check-mark: [X] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Close the Options window and open the Hotmail log in page.
You can remove the check-mark ([ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode") to leave PB mode.
If that works the it is possible that there is problem with the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Windows Live Hotmail

Hi everyone,
Is there a problem with the stock email app and hotmail??
When i try to setup my hotmail acct. throu the 'Windows Live Hotmail' option,
after entering my username and password comes up with a 'server not reponding' message.
I was not having this problem with Froyo.
Thank You.

Hi,
When I setup the email acct. using the 'Windows Live Hotmail' option i doesn't give a chance to
chage the settings, it only asks me for the username and password. I guess i puts the settings automatically.
If i try to set it up using 'Other POP3' then I can input settings manually.
But now it won't let me delete the Live acct. saying that is in use by another app, that I need to do a factory reset.
I think that the stock email app is not working properly.
