Just transferred files, folders, and some 3rd-party apps from backup to new iMac. Woo-Hoo.
I opened and setup the Apple MAIL app. All is fine, except there are no addresses stored in CONTACTS for MAIL to use.
I went back to the backup and dragged the contacts from Library/Application Support/Address Book. The files transferred to the new Mac folder in Application Support, but these are not recognized (?) when I look into CONTACTS. (Just find my own email address and Apple's address - which, I assume, happened when I first fired up the new iMac.)
So . . . I then opened CONTACTS and went to Preferences/Accounts/ + to import from HOTMAIL. I get a message "unable to verify account name or password." Yet, if I go to a Safari webpage and login in Outlook/Hotmail there, no problem. So . . . my password IS recognized by Outlook there.
Clearly I am missing something about the process. Any one have any other ideas how to add HOTMAIL/OUTLOOK recipient addresses for use with Apple MAIL?
