Android app vs. manually configured exchange server

31. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Android, android phone, corporate account, exchange account, exchange server

I'm a new user. It appears that there are (at least) two ways to connect my Android phone to my Outlook.com account:

Use the Android app
Add the Outlook.com account to my phone as a "corporate account" ... which I believe is just another name for setting it up as an exchange account (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/android-no-app)

Am I correct that the second would also work? Would the second sync email, contacts, calendar, and archive folders just as the first does?

Are there any benefits to the first over the second?

Are there any benefits to the second over the first? In particular, would the second approach have the same limitation of not downloading any email messages older than 30 days as the app has?

Thanks,
Allen

Unable to sync contacts from Live.com account with my Android phone (4.1.1)

27. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: android phone, sync

Hi,

I am using an Android phone and I have two outlook.com email ID . One is "live.in" and the other is "live.com". When I try to sync the contacts from "live.com", none of the contacts get sync with my android phone. But when I try with "live.in" all the contacts sync both ways. I tried reconfiguring the "live.com" email as Exchange/corporate and also tried resetting the phone to defaults but still the problem is same. So, there is something wrong with my "Live.com" ID. I would really appreciate if you could help me in fixing the problem or guide me in the right direction.

deleting junk mail from outlook on mobile phone

23. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: android phone, junk mail, junk mail folder, mobile phone

I have outlook on my android phone. I have "synced" all my folders and everything works fine, just like using outlook on my laptop. However, when I try to empty or delete emails from my junk mail folder, there is no icon or tab or the little trash can symbol to be able to delete them nor is there a way to "select all" so I can then empty or delete multiple emails at once. PLEASE HELP! This is driving me crazy because I get about 100 junk mail emails each day and I have to delete them one at a time!!

Outlook.com app will not sync calendars on android phone

22. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: android phone, calendars

Hi, I have a new Samsung Mega (GT19152) running android 4.2.2. I installed the outlook app from the play store and added my credentials. The app then will show me the contacts and email synced up, but it will not show me calendars. I have a couple of calendars that are needed on the move. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I should add, I have tried multiple MS accounts to no avail, same results.

Should I be getting an option as part of the setup to state which of my calendars I want to sync? If I go to the settings tab in the Outlook app, it takes me to the account settings. I then click on 'contacts and calendar' this opens up a settings window that shows sync contacts with a check box to enable and the time stamp of when last synced.

thanks

Yesterday I purchased an android phone (Alcatel onetouch 983) and I want to put my Outlook email on it to access. The wizard doesn't help me. When I go into it, it asks me "What type of account is this? OP3/IMAP/Exchange. I do not know what these are and how to answer and I cannot proceed. I am a pensioner and I am very confused. I am trying very hard to get to grips with the technology. Can you help me please?

I downloaded the Outlook.com app on her new Android phone today and attempted to sign in with her credentials I received an error saying "We were unable to sign you in. Sorry you must be an Adult to do this" She prefers to use outlook.com over Gmail & this is going to be a major issue. Any suggestions?
