Last week, I woke up to find that my Hotmail account had completely stopped working in Mac Mail. Subsequently, no new emails were coming in, and I couldn’t send anything either. As someone who relies heavily on email for work, this was a huge problem. After hours of troubleshooting and trying different solutions, I fixed my Hotmail not working on Mac Mail issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My First Step: Checking the Obvious<\/h2>\n

Before diving into complex fixes to resolve Hotmail unable to load in Mac Mail. I will start with the basics. I opened Safari and checked if my internet connection was working properly. Then I logged into Hotmail directly through <\/span>outlook.com<\/strong> in my browser. Everything worked fine there, which told me the problem wasn’t with my account or the internet. Thus, it was specifically with Mac Mail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verifying My Server Settings<\/h3>\n

This is where I found my first real clue. I realized that incorrect server settings are often the cause of a Hotmail Account not working with Apple Mail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
