How do you add a 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.
5. Select "Other Mail Account" from the list of options.
6. Enter your Hotmail email address and password in the required fields.
7. Click on "Continue".
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 on "Create" to save the changes.
11. Mac Mail will now attempt to connect to your Hotmail account. If everything is set up correctly, you should see your Hotmail emails in the Mac Mail inbox.

Note: If you're using a Hotmail account that was created before 2013, you may need to use the following settings instead:

• Incoming Mail Server: pop3.live.com
• Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.live.com

Also, if you're having trouble connecting to your Hotmail account, you can try enabling IMAP or POP3 in your Hotmail account settings. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Hotmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the page.
3. Select "More mail settings" from the drop-down menu.
4. Click on the "Accounts" tab.
5. Under "Account settings", click on the "Edit" button next to "POP and IMAP".
6. Select the "Enable IMAP" or "Enable POP3" checkbox.
7. Click on "Save" to save the changes.

Once you've enabled IMAP or POP3, try adding your Hotmail account to Mac Mail again using the steps above.
