Mac mail - Unable to verify account name or password

Featured Replies

Is anyone else having trouble?

 

I can access my email online and via my phone no problem at all, but mail on my MacBook Pro seems to have given up.  I routinely get this message, but then it randomly works okay with no rhyme nor reason:

I've gone through everything I can find online and nothing seems to work.  Having deleted and reinstated this mailbox (it seems to be only Hotmail that's affected) for the third time, I now get the following message:

And now can't get to my email at all via Mac mail 🙄

 

Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received.

I gave up using Mac mail on my MacBook to access Hotmail as it seems to regularly have problems due to changes by Apple, Microsoft or both.

 

I use web based Hotmail via Safari, but even that failed for 2 days a few days ago so I had to use Firefox temporarily.

 

Seems to me that Apple and Microsoft are deliberately making life difficult for each other!
