Hi!
For a few weeks, I've been getting "enter password for hotmail" notification on my Mac. When I enter it, it says "Unable to verify account name or password". I've tried with POP, IMAP, Exchange... still have the same problem. I have another account on Mac Mail (not Outlook account) and works perfectly so I presume it's not coming from Mac but rather from Outlook.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you

Yes. Mine is old ... ******@mac.com
The answer for me has just been forwarding hotmail to my mac mail.
Thanks for all your interest.
Hi! By mac email do you mean @cloud, @me or @mac adress?
Hello Emmanuel,
I imagine most people using mac mail would have a mac email and could forward it to that email address.
Any reason you would create another email address like a gmail one?
Cheers,
Thanks so much for posting this! This was the final piece of the 'sorting this out' jigsaw that I hadn't been able to sort out. You're a star. Thanks Emmanuel.
Yes, this thing is problematic even for people who know about computer. I'm happy you find your way out (even if it is not perfect). Don't forget to set the default email to Gmail for sending mails (see picture: "new messages will be sent from" in Mail -> Preferences -> Composing).
