I just set up my hotmail account on Outlook on my mac, and my mac is downloading the mail but only from the last 2 days.. 
I would like the mac to download all my mail from my Hotmail account. 

How can i make this happen? 
Tnx
I have Outlook for Mac 2011 and set up 3 emails from Comcast. I switched providers and set up Verizon accounts and continued to get emails from both. 

As expected, I can no longer access the old provider. But now I am getting constant "Could not retrieve mail" errors and would like to instruct Outlook to stop trying to access Comcast. I need to save the older emails so if I delete the accounts, will I lose all of my older emails?

Is there a setting to keep the accounts, but instruct Outlook not to try to access mail?

Numerous problems, outlook is not receiving e mails. I receive mail with Microsoft mail, but mail does not come in on outlook. Previously my mail was showing https: blu002.mail.live .com  I know notice that the sight shows as bay176.mail.live.come/default.aspx. not sure what happened there, or when the change was made. When this occurs it tells me that outlook not working. ???? Also, can not access my calendar which has also stopped working.

Not sure where the problem is if its with outlook or office (2013).  Can anyone, make some suggestions???

Thanks

I am away in europe and I can receive mail in Outlook Express but can not send mail. I keep getting a box asking for my user name and password. I enter the information but the box keeps coming back. Is it due to the outgoing server settings. *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
On August 14th, "Cannot connect to server" appeared when I used my iPhone 5 to check morning email.  Verizon confirmed it was a "Hotmail" issue.  Later that day, my calendar repopulated and '50' messages were in my inbox.  Still rec'd the error message and the emails were months old.  Next day, 580+ emails but the dates were from 4 days in April.  Cannot send or receive emails at all, and the number's 50 again.  

I can access Hotmail from other computers.

Thank you.
Desde el martes no logro que me bajen los mail en mi iphone. Se me borraron todos los del 2013 y solo puedo ver parte de los recibidos en el  2012.
When I go into my hotmail account on my ipad and I phone, I get a message cannot get mail, connection to the server failed. also another message saying this message has not been downloaded from the server?What do I do ? It was working fine yesterday.
I have an IPhone 4 and and IPAD that I use for livemail for my emails, an error message comes up saying, cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed.  This has been going on all day today and I tried to change the password for my live mail account, but this did not help.  I also can access my email via the web browser on my PC but that is all.  How can I fix it
Hi, 

I'm unable to reopen any mail moved to a folder. The folder has been created from a mobile device and the mail has been also moved from a mobile device, but I try to open it from my computer and it doesn't work.

The message I get while trying to open the file is this one : 

Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again, or refresh the page.  If you keep seeing this message, go to Service status to check if there's a problem with Outlook. 

Thanks!

Hi.
Sorry for my poor english.
Someone keeps using my mail though (I think) he has not access to my email.He is spanish,so i keep getting non sence spanish mails.it is getting worse and worse ,as i have started to get mails from microsoft,saying i tried to recover my hacked email (that it isn't mine but has is similar to my address).
facebook is sending a ton of unwanted mails of this "someone"'s account which i have not confirmed.
i tried changing my password eralier.it didn't really help.
i don't think that someone has access to my mail.no mail is read and nothing is sent and nothing is forwarded automatically.
plz help.
And can't you,microsoft, send all your mails english? the spanish non sence is really irritating.
