Mail cannot connect to Hotmail account.  Why?

Before I was on vacation last week, my hotmail account has been working find on my icon of mail on my macbook pro and iPad.  Since the return from vacation, I can not connect to my hotmail on these products account two apple.  My iPhone 6 works find.

Can someone help me as its driving me crazy.  The password that I use is correct.  I have connected to my hotmail account by going online and everything is fine.

AAARRRGGHHHH!

Open Keychain Access utility, use S.o.s. under Menu Keychain Keychain, and then either check the password on this point, change, or delete it and start over.

You can have multiple entries.

Open Keychain Access utility, enter the part after the sign @ in the search bar and press enter

The rejection of password can confuse people because there's a catch its meaning...

This password, username, authentication method is not recognized on this Port for this server, more than one entry in Keychain Access for each input, input/output or end of server problem.

If you use a browser to connect via WebMail works, but not name or password, but that of others.

Receiver e-mail ports are:

IMAP is port 143

IMAP-SSL is port 993

POP is port 110

POP - SSL is port 995

The outbound ports are...

SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25 and 587, 465. Port 587 should be SSL and port 465 is applied sheathed TLS and is generally used by Outlook users.

    I stopped to receive mail after December 31.  It indicates that the computer cannot connect to my account but when I log in with my password I get the message "this account already exists." How can I get my email account to work again?

    MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan

    First of all, make sure that you don't have two accounts with the same address. What happens if one of them is an iCloud account.

    From the Mail menu bar, you select

    ▹ Connection Doctor window

    In the window that opens, look for an SMTP (outgoing mail) account with a name that corresponds to the account that you are trying to add. Double-click it. Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.

    Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

  • Outlook: "cannot get mail" "cannot connect to the server.

    April 6 at 7:00 PM CST, my iPhone 5 running iOS stopped syncing with my Microsoft Outlook account 9.3.1.

    I did have problems with my iPhone sync with my Outlook email over the past 5 years so far.

    My Outlook account is to these servers-

    web mail:
    https://blu183.mail.live.com/

    for Windows Live Mail 2012:
    https://mail.Services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx

    I tried to delete my Outlook account from my iPhone and re-establishment and the account Outlook 'checks' correctly - but this does not solve the problem.

    The iPhone keeps displaying a pop-up message:
    "Cannot get mail" "cannot connect to the server.

    My iPhone is syncing correctly with my Gmail accounts and iCloud.

    Also, I created my Outlook account on iPad to my daughter who is running iOS 8.1.2 and I have the same problem.

    This seems to be a situation of the Apple servers, do not sync with Microsoft servers.

    Thank you

    It seems that Outlook is to have questions, not only with iPhones but W10, see this thread:

  • BlackBerry smartphones sudden since this morning that my 9790 "BOLD" of BB does not any mail entering into my hotmail account

    Is there a general problem with BlackBerry receives e-mail messages from a hotmail account?

    Only he realized because someone email me at my hotmail address and I said that I got what I do not see pass on my phone.

    Anyone got any ideas what might be happening here?

    Thank you

    Two of my email accounts Hotmail/Outlook send and receive fine.

    Try going to settings > e-mail accounts, press the BB menu button Service books and select return your service books. Who can do it. You can also check to make sure that your e-mail for your Hotmail account settings are correct (for example, re - enter your password, etc.).

    I hope that helps out!

    I think the next thing to test would that interfere with Add-ons. Disables the Firefox Add-on - Add-ons that only list compatibility with Firefox 5, but some add-ons could cause problems.

    To test, the simplest method is to restart Firefox Safe mode.

    First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

    Then, try help > restart with disabled modules > continue in Mode safe (do not check the boxes). This article gives more information on the options and features of Safe Mode: Safe Mode.

    What is fix? If so, you may have to disable some add-ons.

  • Cannot connect to Hotmail & Windows Live says cannot log off MSN account services.

    My problems began on 19 October. When to use Hotmail and move the Inbox, in the box sent to the deleted area, I noticed that the ads running on the right side of the page, were flicker for a moment. They were flickering or give me a snapshot, 1/2 second glimpse of the announcement, which was then directed to the side page humble. This happened whenever I would go with one mailbox to another mailbox. Finally, on some ads I noticed 'ad choice.' I'm here and renounced well over 150 ad sources.

    The same thing would happen on Yahoo Finance. The square ad that was intended for the right of the page, would try to open up to the left. Again, it was just for a moment, before the ads would find themselves on the right side.

    People were told to use IE 9.0 follow-up protection. I watched a video on it and decided to allow it. That did not help, I went back and disabled the follow-up protection.

    People have asked for a screenshot of the problem. I can't provide a screen shot of something which is an event and last only 1/2 second. Ads and tracking cookies and so forth are quire normal and predictable. However, the way in which they try to appear in my account Hotmail and Yahoo Finance is not normal and only started a few days ago.

    I decided to uninstall my IE 9.0 and did. Ads on Yahoo Finance are still there and blink in the upper left before going to their normal location in the middle of the right side. Ads on Hotmail ceased. 'IF' Hotmail is a separate program, then my new copy of IE 9.0 has not touched the issue of advertising and the absence of ads now can be due to several times, I clicked on 'choice ad' and selected.

    Now, I can not connect to Hotmail. I get these messages:

    1. on the left side, he says:
    Windows Live
    Disconnection is not complete...
    We couldn't you disconnect from these sites:
    MSN account services

    2. on the right side, he said:
    Complete the registration
    Try to clear all cookies from your browser, and then close all browser windows.
    How?< a="" link="" to="" "how"="" to="" clear="" all="" browser="" cookies,="">

    The link to the 'how' takes me a sign in Center of Windows help, where I see no sign, index.

    I deleted all of my temporary files, cookies, and browsing history. Yet, I can't properly log in Hotmail, and so far, the action of logging on Hotmail always took me at MSN dot com. Web page

    I have all the above questions, the incorrect display of ads or signature on Hotmail, when I do the test using a different browser beside IE.

    People tell me to repair-re-install Windows Vista and I'm not clear on why this is the fix here. The problem began just like ads displayed improprly on Hotmail and Yahoo Finance. I have subsequently, was to click on 'ad choice' and exclude certain ads. I also uninstalled IE 9.0. When I rebooted, Windows said there were 4 updates and 1 was IE 9.0. So, I went to leave install IE 9.0. I now have version: 9.0.8112.16421 version 9.0.3 update.

    The only thing that happened between the time the ads have been displayed correctly and when they were not displayed correctly, was an installation of 9 new Windows updates, the or around October 13. I have nothing after these updates. Then 19, here are the ads that sparkle, Flash for a split 2nd on the 'left' Hotmail (when I move around the mailbox may box) when they are intended to 'right' of the Web page.

    And now unable to disconnect Hotmail successfully. I deleted browser cookies, I think.

    Someone told me to find the cookies here: %userprofile%\AppData\Roam

    Thank you.

  • "sessions is expired" message often received when you try to connect to my Windows Live Hotmail account, why?

    I noticed a very bad trend of Windows Live Hotmail to generate the message, ' theSession has been exceeded' when I try to log into my email account.  It occurred when I just connected to my Hotmail account & need to reconnect, but also does not happen when I was offline for several hours and then try to connect to my Hotmail account.

    It quickly became more than a bother, and it got to a point I think seriously, just to close my Hotmail account altogether and go with another provider, or just use my ISP as my main email service.  It is enough, I will wait, wait and wait, Windows Live Hotmail bad to take its * old time to throw up its ads before I can even open an email in my Inbox!

    How about it Microsoft?  Care to explain this absurd mess?

  • Unable to connect to hotmail account, says its not available

    Original title: unable to connect!

    I used my hotmail account to sign in and ask my own question.  Now, whenever I try to connect, I always get the 'One step further' window (which your FAQ says that occurs the first time) and if I try to use the screen name I used the first time, she says that's not available!  Yes I know!  IT OF MINE!  I'm the one who used it!

    Should we use a single pseudonym with each single sign-in?  What is the point to choose a pseudonym, if it cannot be used once?

    How can I use the original screen name, I put?

    Hello.  It is mikecooper AKA yongkalep.

    Looks like it was fixed!

  • Windows Live Mail not send or receive e-mail messages from a Hotmail account

    I hope that this has not been answered previously, I searched the site for answers, but nothing helped.

    Quick description of the problem:

    As a result of an impending change of internet service provider & lose the long date E-mail address associated with the supplier, thought that it is appropriate to create a Hotmail account to avoid losing another email address in the future.

    Windows Live Mail 2012 is not playing ball, but when you add the Hotmail account details that have been set up, I get an error message which is: -.

    Can't send or receive messages for the Hotmail account (NRaccts).

    Server error: 3219
    Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x8DE00005

    I use Windows 7 Professional & have not had any problems before with Windows live mail.

    I note that a new Hotmail folder has been configured in Windows Live Mail & when I click on I see a message that says that "Windows live mail is synchronize the accounts.»  Check back in a few minutes"However this updates never & when I press send/receive I get the above error message.

    Would appreciate any assistance with this question please.

    Thank you

    I assume you have an hotmail/outlook/live email address.

    Microsoft migrates all users to a different format.  WLM can be used, but may not be used in 'delta-sync '.  It must be used via IMAP.

    You must have the latest version of WLM

    You must remove the current account (after the registration of your data) and reinstall using IMAP

    IMAP for PC

    Server of incoming IMAP mail

    IMAP - mail.outlook.com
    Server port for incoming IMAP mail: 993; Encryption: SSL

    Outgoing mail SMTP server

    SMTP - mail.outlook.com
    Outgoing SMTP mail server port: 587; Encryption: SSL (TLS)

    Server requires authentication (THE)

    For more information go here

    IMAP for MAC

    Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.

    Incoming server:
    IMAP: imap - mail.outlook.com
    Port: 993
    Encrypted connection: SSL
    Outgoing server:
    SMTP: smtp - mail.outlook.com
    Port: 25 or 587
    Encrypted connection: TLS
    Username: your username
    Password: your password
    This does not work on mac os x mail unless you disable the pop in your first outlook.com account. If you have mac os x mail and you do not disable the pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will be automatically set up pop and smtp.
