Csound1 its happening using my Hotmail account ??

Hotmail can (does) now use the Outlook.com servers, so knowing your settings matters.


Open Mail, go to Preferences>Accounts>Hotmail account>Outgoing server (SMTP)>Edit Server>Hotmail. Read the settings from both tabs in there.

ok I've gotten to the server edit and both of my email accounts are listed here ?? what do i do next ??

it only has my email address and the smtp server name, which is outlook.com...

So it is an Outlook account, using an Outlook server. This was a bug at Microsoft's end, they say it has been fixed but it still seems to be affecting some people, question, are the 2 copies of the sent mail in the same folder, or are there 2 sent folders.
