Visitors to hotmail

Does anyone if emails saying that you need to update your account by providing your name, your date of birth AND your password for your account MORE

a different e-mail address and password?

I sent an email back and asked them to send me the information that they already have and I will update this way.   The answer I got back was that Microsoft contacted a virus and they were under contract maintenance and that if I don't send them the information they would stop my account.

If heard you of them or whether it is a scam, I would be happy to hear from you.

Thank you

Hello

It's a SCAM!

Never click on a link in a suspicious email - right click on the link or the photo-
Properties - to see where the link sends you in fact. Note that some false
links may appear to be official looking. Always go to the KNOWN OFFICIAL site
to verify the claims.

  • iPhone keeps asking for password hotmail (iOS 10)

    Hello

    I had this problem since upgrading to iOS iOS 10 9. I have 3 accounts hotmail on the iphone, once I get the password it will work properly for a period of time (usually one day) and then ask for passwords with a message indicating an error has occurred and iOS needs approval from hotmail again.

    I noticed that this often happens when I wake up in the morning and I haven't used the iPhone for a few hours. This problem never arose on iOS 9. I've recently updated the iPhone 6 7 and the problem persists.

    Is this a bug of iOS 10? I also tried to delete all my accounts and adding them again without success. My accounts do not use a two-step verification.

    I am currently using iOS on iPhone 10.0.2 7

    Hotmail is notoriously buggy.  For years.  Have you tried their forum for iOS 10 compatibility issues?  There may be suggestions from there.

  • Cannot configure the Pop of Hotmail on Mail account under macOS Sierra

    Hello.

    I'm on a MacBook Air - end of 2014 with macOS Sierra installed.

    I decided to perform a new installation of the latest version of Mac OS. As I did this, of course, I've erased completely any configuration, I had: this has the Mail app.

    I want to create access to two accounts different Hotmail via Mail App. Apple unfortunately, it's automatically my IMAP accounts - something I really don't like / want - and I want to create POP accounts!

    I check online on how to do it (because Yosemite, holding the Option key during the initial installation, no longer works.) I write a bad e-Mail and after trying to access it, I get an error message and automatically mail gives me the possibility to choose between an account IMAP or pop. Also, it requires me to give the outgoing server and receiving code «»

    MY QUESTION IS: What are the current codes for Hotmail? Because I searched online and after typing the (I assume) good, Mail tells me that it does not recognize my email address and/or password. (Be aware that during the execution of this, I also write my e-Mail address correctly!).

    I really need my accounts connected to Apple Mail, BUT I really need to make sure that it doesn't copy emails and not delete them from the server!

    Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.

    Ask Microsoft about the configuration necessary to initialize one of their products to access pop.

    What happens when you send an email?

    Use the following settings:

    Incoming mail server

    • Account type: IMAP
    • Username: [email protected]
    • Host name of the server: imap - mail.outlook.com
    • Server port: 993
    • Authentication: password
    • SSL/TLS: Yes

    Outgoing e-mail server

    • Username: [email protected]
    • Host name of the server: smtp - mail.outlook.com
    • Server port: 587
    • Authentication: password
    • SSL/TLS: Yes
  • Safari, suspended when using Hotmail

    Hello

    A colleague asked me to solve a problem she has with her hotmail account using safari (5.1.10) on his Macbook pro (OSX 10.6.8).

    When it loads Hotmail (via MS live.com) the browser hangs and will not have to type in the body of the email. I've tried a few things:

    1. Downloaded Firefox, doesn't seem to have the same problem.
    2. Cleared cookies (safari - preferences - privacy - remove all data from the Web site)

    Clear cookies seems to work temporarily, but it doesn't last.

    Verified in window - activity. the last activity points to cdn.at.atwola.com, which suggests that Atwola is likely to be at least part of the problem.

    Some tips on the best way to get rid of Atwola on this operating system/browser? The checked updates, none are available.

    see you soon,

    ADIC Greg

    Check the preferences/Extensions/Safari - it can be installed there.

    If I go to the login page, it opens to a page that says that they are updating the terms of their agreement.  When I press 'next', the page says 'this page is temporarily unavailable' does anyone have any recommendations or is it just a microsoft problem?

    It seems to be a problem in Microsoft.

    Contact Microsoft support and report your access attempt to Hotmail.

    Recently my "junk e-mail" folder for hotmail/outlook left near the top of the folder list in the middle of the list of folders that I created. How can I move this back to the top with the Inbox and sent folders where it was originally?

    Thank you

    Open Mail and go to the screen labeled "Mailboxes" on the top.  Click on 'change '.  You should see a series of three horizontal bars on the right side of each record.  You can use them to drag a folder upwards or downwards.

    As more than first level help desk people, they are idiots! They are lucky to know enough to pick up the phone if it makes a noise.

    If their network or range of IP addresses is blacklisted only they can fix.
    I would ask to have this comeback for someone who knows something.

    It is not your problem, and there is nothing to fix on your computer.
