Thank you for the response, I appreciate the suggestions.?
I can no longer receive emails throuhg the Apple Mail app only through a web browser. I get no error messages.
My main issue in updating the OS is that ?I need to run 32 bit applications - as a UK pensioner I cannot afford to replace my machine and all my main programmes - Quark, Indesign, Photoshop, etc – so I am limited to one more upgrade to 10.14 which I understand
would not be enough to hep the mail issues.
I guess I have to hope Santa will bring a new machine and all the apps I need!
But thank you for your thoughts

A couple of thoughts:
?
Why not update the 2015 to Monterey? I have a MBA 2015 that runs Monterey well. You may experience less browser related issues.
?
I also run an Outlook.com account in Outlook 365 and Apple Mail on the 2015 with no problem. I can also run the latest versions of Brave and other browsers should
I need to view my mail on the web.
?
I’m guessing you’re receiving the Hotmail through the Apple mail app? Are you receiving any error messages?
?
May I also suggest that you ensure your account recover details are up to date. I moderate a Outlook group on FB and can verify that should you have an account
problem and you can’t verify your account according to Microsoft’s standards, you will lose your account.
?
?
For many years I have used two Hotmail email accounts.?
Currently I use a 2010 iMac, a 2015 Macbook Pro, both on 10.13.6, iphone on the latest iOS and a venerable iPad mini.
For a few weeks now I have been experiencing problems getting and sending emails. It turns out the problem is at
Hotmail, where they have changed something so that it no longer works with older operating systems.
I can still access emails through the Hotmail web browser but this is not very satisfactory.
Does anyone know of a workaround to restore Hotmail to work with older systems? Or is there a different email app
I can use that would accept my hotmail accounts?
Or any other ideas? I cannot upgrade my systems as `i need to keep running 32 bit software.

Re: Mail on Mac and iOs devices suddenly stopped syncing...
Thanks Bev. ?I thought that might be it. ?But it’s really annoying that you have to do the updates to get something as basic as this to keep working. ?Some of us don’t want to update until apps we use have been updated and work reliably with new OS versions. ?

I use HoudahSpot to find things. It has a lot of options to narrow the search down.

I think I have solved my problem. I used a 3rd-party tool to delete the Spotlight index, and let it re-index itself overnight.
I just tried a few recent failed searches, and now they work.

The FInder search function hasn’t worked properly for me for years. ?I can have items sitting on the desktop, or even open in preview mode, all included in the Spotlight indexing, that it can’t find. ?I’ve been using EasyFind instead.?

This is directed at those in the US who celebrate Thanksgivings, but the well wishes is for all as we approach the various holidays. I am sending it early, since many of us will be off-line tomorrow.
May you be thankful for what you have and those around you. May you have health, safety and prosperity going forward.? I believe that my friend in the photo used this for an invitation to an “Orphan’s” Holiday Dinner we have both attended for years.
You may recognize it as a remake of the album cover to "Alice’s Restaurant Macacree”. ?Alice passed away on 22 Nov 2024, may she RIP.
This is crossed posted across several lists, so you may see it more than once.

On my Mac mini running 10.15.7?

I finally contacted Apple about the problem I was having with my new mac since the upgrade.? It took 6 techs on the chat platform, two days, and over 4 hours. Everything they tried did NOT work. Finally the last tech said he would have someone call, and when that wonderful man in Austin called and got into my computer..Voila..It was fixed. it was just where i new the problem was ..in the lock screen..the area that would give hte option for no password required was grayed out. One of the techs even had me set up the iphone mirroring so I could undo it. While the man was on the phone, I gave Apple permission to go into my computer. I followed the reds arrow, and quickly, it was done..and I am now a happy camper. ..and my computer doesn't ask for the password when coming out of sleep mode
as for the other thing that the keyboard shortcut for sleep doesn't work, I can live with that. Who knows, perhaps the next upgrade, if i am brave enough to do it, might just fix that

It's to do with the iphone mirroring app.
When I initially set it up, i did not want to be asked each time to authenticate. That option somehow triggered the mac to ask for password after sleeping, screen saving etc..... a huge annoyance. So I had to reconnect the app then disable that choice and it was fixed.

Annoying and not useful. And now the ability to select never in the lock screen to select the solution is greyed out.

?In the Lock Screen section there's stuff about password being required if iphone mirroring is set to automatically authenticate. However, after initially enabling that feature, I removed the macbook pro from my iphone entirely.
Did you find iPhone Mirroring annoying, or not useful, or did you disable it just because using it triggered the password requirement for unlocking your screen?
