Twisty Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Just wondering if there's a way of receiving mail from my hotmail account in Mail.app in Leopard. All the apps I can find only work in Tiger.... any other ideas? Thanks.

Twisty Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 just get a real email account. I mean, seriously. Yeah, sorry, how stupid of me... using an evil Microsoft email account... may aswell hand my mac back. Maybe, just maybe, I have a .mac account, and a work account aswell... and maybe, I wanted to be able to access all of them in one convenient location. Thanks for your help...

Headrush69 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Get an gmail account which now supports IMAP and syncs into Apple Mail. You can always have your Hotmail email account forward mail to your Gmail account and then still use your hotmail address as your reply address if you don't want to change.

I was trying to avoid yet another account, but if there's no other option I may have to do this.

Or just switch to Gmail and have your contacts update. I've always preferred Gmail to Hotmail myself.

You can always have your Hotmail email account forward mail to your Gmail account and then still use your hotmail address as your reply address if you don't want to change. I though Hotmail only forwarded mail if you were a paying subscriber. Was I wrong? Because If so then I would more happily get a Gmail account and have all my Hotmail emails be forwarded.

kevnaca Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Honestly, as others put it, Gmail is the easiest and best way (it's free) to go about what you want to do. Yeah it sucks, but otherwise you will have to get Hotmail Plus for pop access. EDIT I stand corrected. MacFreePop works for me. Thank you Hessel.

Hessel Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 MacFreePop's let you receive hotmail in your Mail program Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68844-hotmail-in-mail-in-leopard/#findComment-489959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 MacFreePops from HERE apparently works, but I couldn't work it out myself. If you do get it working, do let me know!

Tried Macfreepops last night... without success. If someone uses this and it works for them, can they please explain how to set it up? Or if by any chance there are similar programs, could someone please point me in their direction? Thanks again.

Thanks for your help... sorry man, it was really stupid from my part, seriously. I really meant you should get a gmail or yahoo account, they're much better anyway, and are really integrated with Leopard Mail Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68844-hotmail-in-mail-in-leopard/#findComment-500213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
