So I just got my new Macbook Pro last week with Mountain Lion. I am having issues with setting up my hotmail. I get mail on the account, however when I read or delete it does not sync with the server. Anyone have this issue before and is there a fix?
Need assistance setting up E-Mail

I don't think you can switch to IMAP in Hotmail, or at least for free. It's been a long time since I got rid of my Hotmail account, so I'm not sure if they offer free IMAP or not. However, Google Mail (GMail) has free IMAP and POP accounts and sets up very easily with Mac Mail. You might want to consider switching.
