Mac users might see that their Hotmail account has
suddenly stopped working. Although, this is a rare attempt but whenever
situations like this comes out, you feel so annoying. The things causing it
might when Microsoft have migrated Hotmail to Live Mail now and Apple is
updated to OS El Capitan. Previously, Hotmail is available on Mac Mail as a POP
account but now it is available as IMAP. If you are non-technical user, you
must be really confused due to this. Whenever issues like this appear against
you, you can talk to the trained technicians at Hotmail
Contact Number UK.
This can be said that there is something wrong if you use
Apple’s Mail Settings Lookup and it shows that Hotmail accounts are now on IMAP
when it is actually not. If you want to change POP to IMAP, you need to delete
your Hotmail account from Mac completely and this will delete all the mails you
have. We have proposed the right steps to change from POP to IMAP on a Mac without
losing all your emails. The steps are suggested below:
·
Export
Emails: If you are a Mac user, you can export all of your
emails instantly. Just click Mail and then tap Mailbox, thereafter click on
Export Mailbox. You must ensure that you have selected all of your emails. To
do so, just highlight ALL of your emails in that mailbox and then mark as
unread Message.
·
Disconnect
your Hotmail from iCloud: you need to follow this step when you
are initiating your Hotmail account as your Apple id. For disconnecting your
Hotmail from iCloud, you need to proceed to Preferences, and then Account where
you have seen this set up. And then remove the Account, do follow the link to
preferences and unlink your email from iCloud after that.
·
Add
another account on Mac mail: you just have to go to Mail and then
Add Account. Then you need to select ‘Other Mail Account’ and set up your
Hotmail address. What you will see that your settings are set to IMAP on the
Apple Mail Settings lookup.
