I am having similar problems with Hotmail on my Mac book. I do not understand most of the apparent solutions referred to above. If I remove my e mail address from this computer will it also affect my iPad or iPhone? Do I need to change any software? Is there a MICROSOFT file anywhere that 'walks' one through the solution?
From Clark F The following statement is pure geek to me - "Microsoft itself is recommending that users configure hotmail in outlook before the exchange protocol, rather than pop or imap protocol"
I am Sure everyone is trying to be helpful but simplicity and understandable terminology would be an advantage to many like me.
