#Outlook mail server settings for hotmail how to#
Looking at the various discussions I cannot find an answer to how to now check my Hotmail using POP with the Mail application on my iMac?ĭoes still support the Mail application on the iMac using POP for Hotmail accounts?ĭoes only support the Mail application on the iMac using IMAP for Hotmail accounts? This is even though I have POP enabled in my settings options in. Interesting, when I try to add a new email account in Mail on the iMac it finds Hotmail IMAP automatically. So with this server arrangement I could get mail but not send it. With POP the problem seems only to be with the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and not the Incoming Mail Server. This didn't stop the error message though. Mail on the iMac lets you click on Edit SMTP Server List which opens a dialogue box to select Advanced > Authentication > Password and entered username & password. Following those instructions I tried using the settings Incoming Mail Server: and Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): This did not seem to work so I tried: : but still get the error message "Could not connect to this SMTP". In Help there is information on setting up apps with POP3 and SMTP. Recently I have had problems and in particular keep getting in the Mail Connection Doctor the error message "Could not connect to this SMTP". Up until recently I had no difficulty using the Mail application on an iMac to check my Hotmail email using POP with the settings Incoming Mail Server: and Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):. It suits me not to use a browser to check my Hotmail. On the discussion forum there seemed to be a few "private" responses from moderators but I am not sure why answers have not been made public. I cannot believe how many people are having variations of this problem.
