I have been trying to setup my hotmail.it account on my Mac Mail program, but the account has never gone online, it always returns me a message similar to: Mail can't connect to the account 'hotmail.it' account Enter the password Of course, if I enter a password, it does not change. You might be asking: 'Why the heck this guy has an hotmail.it account and not hotmail.com'? Well, because hotmail.com was not available. At this point I have 3 questions: 1. Plist extractor 1.2.0 for mac.

Which are the correct settings for setting up my account hotmail.it on the Mail program on my Mac? Is the hotmail.it dead? If not, why I cannot access it? If yes, why am I still able to enter on my account through web using mail.live.com? Is it possible to change my email address? Okay, so I looked into it more and apparently Mac mail is programmed to make poor assumptions upon detecting Hotmail/Outlook.com.

I did this on Yosemite. I opened Mail and in the menubar, clicked MailAdd account. Picked 'other Mail account' (the last option). I put in a FAKE email address and fake password and clicked next. This causes auto-detect of server settings to fail.

On the next page, you manually put in account settings. The account type is IMAP.

The mail server is imap-mail.outlook.com. The user name is your normal Microsoft account login. The password is your password. Note that if you use two-step authentication, you have to generate an app password to use here. Click next. THe outgoing server is smtp-mail.outlook.com.

The user name is your normal Microsoft account login. The password is your password, or, if you have two-step authentication on, the app password you generated earlier. Click Create And you're done. 'No matter where you are, everyone is connected'. The Server URL is the same for all Outlook.com accounts. Notice that nowhere in my instructions are you typing Hotmail.com or Hotmail.it in a server URL. My Microsoft account's login isn't even a Microsoft domain name.

At this point, I don't know what else to tell you. I have a non-Microsoft email as my login and two-step authentication on, meaning I need an app password and I was able to add my account to the Yosemite Mail app with these two hurdles in my way. 'No matter where you are, everyone is connected'.

Not sure if your problem has been solved or not. The following steps worked for me and hope they work for you incase you are still facing issues 1. Open Mail app on OSX 2.

Click on Mail menu - Accounts. If needed click on the '+' icon to add a new account and select Exchange 5. Add a dummy email and dummy password then click on 'Sign In' 6. Now advanced details dialog box pops up 7. Enter correct email address (in my case it was my hotmail.com account), correct password and for Internal and External URLs, enter outlook.office365.com 8.

If 'outlook.office365.com' doesn't work, then try 'outlook.com' 9. Click on 'Sign In' and you should be all set now.

When you set up the first email address under a domain (that is configured to be hosted with DreamHost), the DreamHost system automatically creates the necessary hostnames and MX records that are required to process email for that domain. Please also note that if this is your first address on a domain, it may take up to 6hrs for those emails to function.

Mail Server: from step#2 above. This is either imap.dreamhost.com or pop.dreamhost.com. User Name: Your full email address. Password: This is the password you set up for the email when creating it in your DreamHost panel.
