Mac Mail continues to request password Hotmail account

Recently my Mac Mail were continually asked my hotmail account password. When I enter it I get a message that it cannot verify the user and the password. The pop3 account was changed to popmail.outlook.com on the Mac. Worked until about 2 weeks ago.

I was not able to put in place than others, IMAP or Exchange Outlook. If you try to use "Other E-mail", it may not always check the password. It still works on the iphone 4, so I know that the password is fine. I can access in the browser if the account is fine too.

I deleted VPN and firewall but no luck. I deleted all the old password Keychain for 'hotmail' and 'live', just in case.

I don't want to lose all of my old emails that they are located in several folders work with other emails from other servers... Can't risk to delete and re-add this account. I have years of important emails. I realize I could use time machine to retrieve messages, but it is painful and slow.

Anyone got working under the latest Mac OS X (el Cap) Mac Mail from Hotmail? What are the settings you are using please?

Hello Lexxiconn,

Welcome to Apple Support communities.

As I understand it, there is a problem with the Mail on your Mac application, constantly asking the password for your Hotmail e-mail account. The article below describes a similar problem and provides general troubleshooting tips that should help you to solve the problem.

  • Mac Mail did not request a new password after changing the outside

    Hello world

    I recently changed my password of gmail on their web site after "suspicious activity" had been detected. But Mac Mail does not work. Still able to send and receive emails and it asks me to enter a new password.

    How is that possible? Any ideas?

    If you have enabled the validation in 2 steps, you generated a password specific to the application in your Google Mail account and it is entered instead of the login password you use on the Web site.

  • E-mail sent to a specific hotmail account is being bounced for me

    I sent email to a friend with a hotmail address, but since I send messages yesterday is returned with the following error message:
    Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    I deleted the email address

    Technical details of permanent failure:
    Google has tried to convey your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend to contact the other email provider for more information about the cause of this error. The mistake the other server returned was: 550 550 requested action not taken: the mailbox unavailable (State 13).
    I was told this is possibly due to interruptions of service on hotmail and I was told to keep an eye on the hotmail with downrightnow site service, when State is stable, I tried again to send the message, but he continues to be returned

    Hi Jay62,

    It seems that the problem is with hotmail address of your friend, something happened there and the message is bounced. It is not a problem with your browser. You can communicate with your friend by other means and tell him to have his email address verified.

    Hope that helps

    Hello

    I do not know the specification of Gmail, but many need SMTP authentication (SMTP) e-mail servers if Gmail need (I assume - YES) you must use the custom process, APEX_MAIL does not support SMTP authentication. In google, you can find examples with UTL_SMTP oracle package.

  • Why can I access is more my hotmail account using firefox?

    Since this thing 'Windows Live' has been implemented, (ie: pushed to the bottom of the throat), got hurt continually access to my hotmail account using Firefox as your browser, until, from the past week or so can not access at ALL, unless I use IE. Everytime I turn on my laptop, I get the 'Windows Live Mssgr' box and must stop and that close. (Oh, I tried a few time just "go with the flow" and went forward and connected to Live Mssgr, and I was immediately HARASSED by dozens of 'contacts' I had NEVER heard of and had to spend the 5 minutes following or so playing whack-a-mole with the hordes of spamming, until the only way to stop him stopping once again.) I am NOT interested in LiveMssgr, Windows Live, or one of that truck, is what I'm interested to have access to my hotmail account, using ANY BROWSER, I JUDGE GOOD of USE!  I have already written on this time, but I was told I was in the wrong section, and I had to go in this section. (And of course, some worker drone MS came and he labeled as being "CORRECTLY answered"). WHY can I access is no longer my email using ANY other browser except IE; and WHY does microsoft keep pushing constantly to be the largest and most greedy aggressor on the block? .... Anyone? .... Bueller?
