Mail on my iMac Pro cannot access my hotmail account. I cannot add the hotmail account it keeps saying unable to verify account or password.
Please help
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.1.1, its OS 10.13.3
I don't go near Exchange. However, I use my gmail, hotmail and iCloud on my iMac and iPhone.
I input hotmail under Google since it's one of theirs. I did the same with my gmail.
I ran connection doctor on my iMac after to test incoming & outgoing servers. One didn't want to initiate but with the help of this nifty lil' tool, it pulled through quite easily.

Mail is connecting to your email service provider, but it can't connect your email account because your email provider isn't accepting your email password.
Your email provider may reject your password for several reasons, including:
You probably need to set it up manually as an 'other' account. You can get the settings that you need to set up your email on an Apple device here: Mail Settings Lookup - Apple Support
No I tried as an exchange and also as other. Confused because the mail on my phone is connected to my hotmail
Still not solved
