Various desktop and mobile email programs will ask for this information in a variety of ways and in different places. With the transition to as Hotmail’s replacement, that functionality remains. I wonder if disabling POP, saving the setting and signing out and then signing back in, enabling POP and saving the setting did the trick?With the proliferation of devices running their own email programs, settings for POP3, SMTP, and now more frequently IMAP are a popular request for the various email services.įor a long time, Microsoft didn’t provide the ability to connect to a desktop email program, but they added it to Hotmail a few years ago. Under the Advanced tab > Use default ports (25, 465, 587), ticked Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Authentication Password, my Hotmail username and password. Then clicking next to the SMTP link shown and selecting Edit SMTP server list > Under the Account information tab:. Under the Advanced tab Port 995, ticked Use SSL and authentication Password. My settings In Mail look like Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account information tab my email address is my Hotmail address, incoming mail server, my Hotmail username and password, Outgoing mail server SMTP :, I haven't ticked Use only this server. After doing this Hotmail using POP connected SMTP. Checking my Hotmail in IMAP connected SMTP.Īfter a Hotmail IMAP account in Mail seemed to connect to SMTP alright I deleted that account and I went back to my More mail settings and enabled POP again. So I did this and disabled POP in my settings. In the Help response they reminded me to disable POP in my More mail settings before setting up an IMAP account.

I also said that when I tried opening an IMAP account in Mail I still couldn't connect SMTP for outgoing mail. I replied and said that I wanted to use POP and SMTP like I had for a long time. I heard back from Help and they gave me settings for IMAP and SMTP. Hotmail server will not connectĢ5479 Views 42 Replies Latest reply: 7:30 AM by wembley2014

There is the following discussion about a similar problem which identified the router as the problem but I haven't changed my router or service provider for ages. Thanks!" If this is the situation, has it been fixed?Ī couple of disussions suggested specifying a particular port number eg 25 but that did not seem to work. We would like to ask for your patience regarding this matter.

Our Microsoft Engineers advised that this will get fixed in their future release.
HOTMAIL SMTP NOT WORKING UPDATE
As an update regarding this case unable or having a hard time connecting your account to SMTP server, our Product Group verified that there is an SSL certificate issue on our end and they are still on process creating a fix about it. Is the problem an SSL certificate issue? I note in an answer by Lanie P (Microsoft Forum Moderator) on she said "Hi Everyone, Apologies for the delayed response.
HOTMAIL SMTP NOT WORKING 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.
HOTMAIL SMTP NOT WORKING PASSWORD
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.
