I can not access my hotmail.com emails from any Apple devices

This worked for me:

1) Delete the hotmail account from your iphone

2) Login to hotmail via the web (I used a different computer).

3) choose Options > general > mobile devices

4) Find your phone and delete it from the list - this will stop hotmail from trying to sync with the disconnected phone.

5) Re-add the hotmail account to your iPhone

Maybe this will help.

Hotmail Settings

i lost access to my hotmail account on my iphone but i could access it everywhere else without issue. i remembered that a month back or so i had to use a single sign on for microsoft hotmail access. so the issues was i shouldnt have entered my hotmail password-- for some reason it now recorded - i went onto my computer- logged onto the hotmail-- chose the single sign on code-- and then i went back on my phone-- entered the single sign on code and it worked.

Did you find out what to do? For several months, now, I have had trouble using Mail. Message always is that Mail cannot access my hotmail account. Unfortunately, my One-to-One membership has expired, so I am looking to the community for help.

I have to access my emails via Outlook on the internet. When I did this the first time, I was told that someone was using my account. I had to change my password.

Thank you Jackal194. Knowing that others are experiencing the same problem helps me understand that I need to move on from Mail. I have now been going straight to Outlook for my emails. I would have thought, though, that Apple would let everyone know that things had changed regarding access to Mail.

Hi! I just had a similar problem with my hotmail. I resolved it by going to my microsoft account, then Security and Password, where I turned off the two step verification. That fixed the problem. Hope it helps.

HI, I have been having the same problem, it's due to hotmail upgrading there security measures with this new thing called "2 step variation". If you have set up one of these then you need to turn it off buy logging in to your hotmail, security and password, then turn off 2 step variation. this worked for me on my iPhone 5s and iPad. I was locked out after setting up 2 step variation on my apple devises, not sure how it conflicts with them but it worked for me. Hope this helped.

I have the same issue on my iPhone. I got Microsoft security emails and messages multiple times and set up 2-step verification, all seemed OK, then this morning, when I open Mail on my iPhone, my hotmail account is no longer visible. If I go in the settings, all seems OK, I've even deleted and added the account again but I can't see it in the Mail app. Did anyone find a solution?

Yes, this is what fixed mine too. Bloody outlook!

You're brilliant! I spent hours trying to figure this out! I stumbled on your post in desperation looking on the internet and trying multiple other suggestions.

THANK YOU!

You do have to sacrifice 2-step verification to get hotmail on your phone. You need to set up an App password. An app password is a password provided by Microsoft that only your phone can use. You do not have to remember it or save it, just use the provided password when setting up your account on your phone. If for some reason you need to re-set your account, you can simply ask for a new app password.

From your Microsoft account go to "Security & Privacy", then "More security settings".

Then Scroll down to App passwords. You will see the follwing

App passwords

Some apps and devices (such as Xbox 360, Windows Phone, or mail apps on your other devices) don't support security codes for two-step verification. In these cases, you need to create an app password to sign in. Learn more about app passwords.

• Create a new app password
• Remove existing app passwords

I meant : You do NOT have to sacrifice 2-step verification
