Hello Ani60,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds as though you're having an issue with your Hotmail email account. You can connect with Microsoft Support for help with your account at Contact Microsoft Support. If you need assistance with the Mail app installed on your Mac, just post what's happening and the community can help.


Best regards.

John, you may have already done this, but I would go to the provider's web site and confirm precisely what password is shown there for both incoming and outgoing messages. Then open your email app and confirm that the password there is the same. I personally do not use Mail, but I've read here that it sometimes has a memory problem associated with Keychain. People have in the past recommended that the Keychain passwords (all of them) for Mail be removed. Then when you restart your computer and reopen Mail and re-enter the password, it sticks. I hope that works for you.
