Add hotmail account to mac mail

To add a Hotmail account to Mac Mail, follow these steps:

  1. Open Mac Mail on your Mac.
  2. Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" from the drop-down menu.
  3. Click on the "Accounts" tab.
  4. Click on the "+" button at the bottom left corner of the window to add a new account.
  5. Select "Other Mail Account" from the list of options.
  6. Enter your Hotmail email address and password in the required fields.
  7. Click "Continue" to proceed.
  8. Mac Mail will attempt to configure your account automatically. If it's successful, you'll see a confirmation message.
  9. If the automatic configuration fails, you'll need to enter the following settings manually:
    • Incoming Mail Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
    • Outgoing Mail Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    • User Name: your Hotmail email address
    • Password: your Hotmail password
  10. Click "Continue" to save the changes.
  11. You'll be asked to verify your account by entering a verification code sent to your Hotmail email address. Enter the code and click "Verify" to complete the setup process.

Once you've completed these steps, your Hotmail account should be added to Mac Mail, and you should be able to access your email, contacts, and calendar information.
