I have received an eMail from Microsoft informing me that as of September 16, 2024, I will no longer be able to access Outlook through Mail. I am required to update my Outlook access through Apple Mail, how do we do that? Or, is Apple going to update Mail because of this?
Mac mini
Sonoma is later, much much later than 10.14 Mojave.
Go into System Settings ➜ Internet Accounts, and make sure your Microsoft email account shows up as an Exchange account there. If it does then you are fine.
It does affect accounts added to iPhone and iPad yes.
On your iPhone go into Settings ➜ Mail ➜ Accounts, and make sure your account appears there as Outlook, and not as Hotmail or Live. If it does, then you are fine. If it doesn't, you may need to remove it from there, and add it again using the Outlook option.
Why can't we get just a clear official statement from Apple/Microsoft, explaining how we make Outlook work in Apple mail. Nothing but problems for months now. I give up. I have no f... idea how to make it work. And why should I even be bothered? You made the changes, now you fix the problem, instead of dumping the problem on me. I am so tired!!!
Ignore my message - my hotmail is no longer synching with my apple mail. Such a nuisance. I don't like Exchange servers as any deletion in one inbox (iPhone or mac) means deletion across all devices. So now I have to create a new inbox to copy all my messages to an offline folder on my mac. Nuisance, nuisance, nuisance!
Having same issue for 2 weeks now. About the time I think I have it figured out I find out Microsoft blocked my actions as I had tried too often re entering email passwords. Totally frustrated with outlook on Mac.
My MacBook is quite old and cannot install any OS Updates. It runs on Mojave 10.14.6. Mail just stopped syncing in September. I tried deleting and then adding my Outlook account as per the instructions you all shared so helpfully here. But I keep getting the error message "Unable to verify account name or password" even though I am sure the username and password is correct. I would be very grateful for suggestions!
For context: all is working fine on the Mail app on my iPhone with iOS 17.6.1
Great idea but it did not work. "Cannot send message, The sender address was rejected by the server smtp-mail.outlook.com. The server response was: STARTTLS is required to send mail."
Identical response to previous when I had manually entered the credentials. (obviously without STARTTLS as it is not an option)
Presumably this is a turf war between microsoft and apple with us peasant punters, who made them wealthy, as the fall guys?
Tks I have Sonoma 14.5
Hi, when you say that you converted the mail account to Exchange, not knowing any better, how did you actually do that, step by step? Tks.
@db_3. Will this not delete all your folders in mail? I file important documents in these folders.
That worked, Microsoft made it incomprehensible for a layman like me. Thank you.
Yes! And someone please tell me if I will loose all my folders. Why is this not explained anywhere!!
Have you tried using the outlook.com account on the iPad to attempt to login to the hotmail account?
My MacOS is Big Sur (ver.11.7.10 - it says up to date). Will Apple mail still support Outlook mail after September 16, 2024? If not what would be my action to migrate mails?
Yes, exact same problem. And same frustrations. And no solution. Apple and Microsoft just pretends, that the problem is not there.
my I pad and my i16 are not synching, they won’t let me use the same password. I also would like to simplify it and use Apple mail
im discussing outlook acct in my Question, oops
Microsoft Outlook will no longer work with Apple Mail
