Proper way to configure a .hotmail & a .outlook email into Mail? I have 2 microsoft email accounts - a .hotmail & a .outlook. What is the proper way to configure both these accounts into the Mail app on Mac and in iOS? On my initial attempts, I got some failures to configure. After trying a few options, they are now configured in Mac & iOS. However, the emails are occasionally acting a bit wonky, such as duplicate emails showing up &/or messages of failure to download. Mac has the options to configure these as Exchange or Other. iOS has the options to configure these as Exchange, Outlook or Other. (As mentioned above, some of these options failed to configure, but at this point I don't recall which ones.) What should I use to fix my issues? I only use the Apple Mail app on all devices. I do not have the MS Outlook app. All of my software is at the latest possible versions.

Problems with adding Hotmail to Mail I'm running OS X El Capitan v 10.11.6 and v9.3 Mail This morning my Hotmail Account on my desktop Mail stopped working. I was able to send emails but received messages were not showing in my inbox. Mail on my iPhone is still working fine. I tried lots of different things but decided to bite the bullet, delete the Mail Hotmail account and re-add it. But unfortunately I can't figure out how to set it up as I get the message "Unable to verify account name or password" even though I've checked that the password is correct by logging into to hotmail directly via web browser directly. Any suggestions?

This "Mail Wizard" will tell you what to enter in the various fields when setting up an email account:

Mail - Official Apple Support

It appears hotmail is just like any other email account, and does not require special setup, just copy the settings from the wizard..
