Setting up hotmail on mac mail

To set up Hotmail on Mac Mail, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Mac Mail

First, open the Mail app on your Mac. You can find it in the Applications folder or use Spotlight to search for it.

Step 2: Create a New Account

Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command +,). Then, click on the "Accounts" tab.

Click the "+" button at the bottom left corner of the window to create a new account.

Step 3: Select "Other Mail Account"

In the "Add an Account" window, select "Other Mail Account" from the dropdown menu.

Step 4: Enter Your Hotmail Account Information

Enter your Hotmail email address and password in the respective fields. You can also enter a display name, which is the name that will appear in the "From" field when you send emails.

Step 5: Configure the Account Settings

In the "Account Information" section, make sure the following settings are correct:

• "Account Type": Select "POP" or "IMAP" (IMAP is recommended for syncing emails across devices).
• "Incoming Mail Server": Enter "imap-mail.outlook.com" (for IMAP) or "pop-mail.outlook.com" (for POP).
• "Outgoing Mail Server": Enter "smtp-mail.outlook.com".
• "User Name": Enter your Hotmail email address.
• "Password": Enter your Hotmail password.

Step 6: Save the Account

Click "Create" to save the account. Mac Mail will attempt to connect to your Hotmail account and set up the account.

Step 7: Verify the Account

If everything is set up correctly, you should see a confirmation message indicating that the account has been set up successfully. You can now use your Hotmail account in Mac Mail to send and receive emails.

Tips:

• Make sure you have a stable internet connection to set up the account.
• If you're having trouble setting up the account, try restarting Mac Mail or checking your Hotmail account settings.
• You can also set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Hotmail account to add an extra layer of security.

That's it! You should now be able to access your Hotmail account in Mac Mail.
