Windows Live Mail and BT Mail

I have just set up a Windows Live Mail Account and linked lt to my BT Mail Account. I am receiving emails on both systems but if I send an email from either program it does not appear in the other system. Is this how it works or is their a way of sharing sent emails with both systems?
Am not conversant with email systems so would appreciate any advice.
Solved!

Windows Live Hotmail and Apple Mail

Hey,
So I'm using HTTPMail. But...it just doesn't work. Is it only supporting @hotmail.com accounts or does it support others such as @msn.com and @live.whatever
It clearly talks to the server - as it tells me when I have an incorrect password, but it just doesn't download the mail. Any suggestions?

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 They have replaced this protocol has been replaced by a new one called DeltaSync.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 "

Upgrading to Windows 8 - how do I save e-mails and e-mail address books?

Converting from Windows XP to Windows 8 wipes out all files and programs. How do I save my e-mails and e-mail address books that are running on Thunderbird?

You need to save and then reinstate your Thunderbird profile.

I should point out that Firefox has a similar arrangement, with its own profile, so you can preserve your Firefox settings too.

How do I keep my Cox mail and MSN mail from all going into the same in box on Apple mail

I have a Imac and Mac Book. The Imac apple mail works great. I also have a Mac Book. The Apple Mail is set up the same as the Imac. The problem I have is that both Cox mail and MSN mail go into the same inbox on Apple Mail on the MacBook even though the accounts are separte. From what I see, the settings are the same as the Imac. I tried to reinstall the apple mail. No luck! Should I try again. Any ideas?

Go to settings>iclod>then mark "no" in "contacts" .

I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

How do I make Mac mail and iOS Mail sync to each other with a google apps (not traditional gmail) mail account?

I have a google apps mail account in the form [email protected] I have successfully set up both my mac (A1342) Mail and my iPhone (5c) mail so I get my account on both devices. However, when I read an email on my iphone, it remains unread on my mac (and vice versa). But if I read an email on either, the copy in my Gmail inbox on the web is correctly changed to read. How do I set up my mac Mail and iOS mail so they interact with eachother?
I am running OSX 10.9 and iOS 7.

Set the account (on the Mac) as an Imap account, it seems as though it is currently set as POP.

Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
Best of luck

Some email is downloaded into Mail and some mail is left on the POP server

Hi All,
I have a weird problem where some email is downloaded into Mail and some mail is not.
If I log into our ISP's webmail system, there are a whole bunch of emails that are just sitting there. These emails have not ever been downloaded to Mail.
I've tried to create a duplicate account, but Mail doesn't allow the same username & password in more than one account, which is kind of frustrating - I get an error stating that these user details are already in use.
Our ISP says it's the client machine, as no one else in the office is having this issue.
The connection doctor can connect to the servers and 30 or 40 emails are downloaded to Mail each day - just some emails don't.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
OSX 10.4.6
Mail 2.0.7
Any help would be much appreciated.
Powerbook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mail 2.0.7

Assuming the account is a POP type account, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2.
Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and a new MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder.
If successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again along with any messages available on the server not yet downloaded by Mail.
The reason you cannot create two accounts in Mail with the same user name and incoming mail server is based on the account and associated mailbox filing structure within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail. When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account.
In addition, if this were possible I don't think it would resolve much by having identical accounts created in Mail with both accounts checking the incoming mail server at the same time.

My NEW MAIL and OLD MAIL emails get deleted at random

At least twice in the last week, all of my NEW MAIL and OLD MAIL files were deleted. Some of these are very important files. I cannot work with a system that deletes my files, so that needs to be fixed. Also, I'd like to have ny deleted files restored.

Firefox doesn't even do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Trash, Sent mail, and Junk mail folders do not work

I just switched from my entourage email to mac's mail, and I noticed some problems that I cannot seem to figure out. I amm using IMAP based email, and had none of these problems on entourage, but I like the format of mail better, so i hope to get this resolved so I can keep using mail.
1. Trash- When I delete an email it does not go to the trash folder like it did in entourage, but rather just disappears and I cannot find it anywhere. This is regardless of if I try and store it on the server or not. Either way, the deleted messages disappear.
2. Sent mail- I may know why this is not working, at least I have heard a possible explanation. When I send an email, it will not go to the default sent-mail folder on my IMAP server, and so disappears unless I tell mail not to store them on the server (but there are obvious disadvantages to not having the mail stored on the server). I think this has to do with the fact that the sent mail folder on my IMAP client has to be set to sent-mail, while I hear Mail requires it to be just Sent.
3. Junk mail- When I mark messages as junk mail, the program does not move them to the junk mail folder, neither in mail nor on the IMAP server.
Now I have gone through as many of the options I can find to try and resolve this, but I have it all set up the same way I did in entourage, and cannot figure out why it is not working. Does it have to do with the naming of the folders for my IMAP service? Those seem to be default and unable to change. My Trash is labeled "trash", Sent mail is labeled "sent-mail", and junk mail is labeled "Junk".
I appreciate any help.

1. When not stored on the server, the account's Trash mailbox should be located under the Trash icon in the mailboxes drawer if "Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox" is selected under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
If you have this selected, using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes. Within the Mailboxes folder should be a folder named
Deleted Messages (name of your IMAP account in parenthesis).mbox
Confirm the folder includes the .mbox extension.
2. When you select "Store sent messages on the server", select your IMAP account's Sent mailbox under your IMAP account's icon in the mailboxes drawer which is sent-mail and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and select Sent.
3. Do you have Junk Mail set to Automatic?

Apple Mail and IOS mail client's auto configuration

Good morning,
Does any kind of documentation exist, anywhere, of how Apple Mail and IOS does autodiscover (how they handle it) and which XML format does it require for non Exchange accounts to be autoconfigured (an IMAP account with SSL and SMTP SSL too?.
Best regards,

Good morning Eric,
Thank you so much for your answer. Básically the answer I'm trying to get is how to manage for autoconfigure Apple Mail and iOS Mail automatically with a not "so known" email provider such us Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, like can be Sarenet (www.sarenet.es). I mean which kind of info should an XML or DNS SRV record contain in order to achieve this goal?. My answer requirement is far more specific that yours. Anyway thanks a lot as said before .
Regards,

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.
