Unable to add my email account to my mail settings on MacBook Pro
Why is my MacBook Pro "unable to verify" my hotmail account, no matter how many times I reset password, reload/update/uninstall/reinstall the account?

Of POP and IMAP, I’d use the IMAP path there for the receive/read path.
Mail has a receive/read path using POP or IMAP, and a send path using SMTP or ESMTP. Both have a server name, credentials, ports, and whether SSL/TLS connection security is enabled and donnection security is just about always enabled nowadays.
