How can I change my Microsoft Account email address and ID?

17. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: Gmail, microsoft, Microsoft account

A little background:

I made a Microsoft Account many years ago for Xbox, and as such has a lot of things attached I'd like to keep. However, it was made with an email I no longer use due to a change in ISP (I was with Sky, hence had a Sky email). I now have a new email address (Gmail)

As I no longer use Xbox, I have not needed to update information. However, as I recently got a Windows 8 laptop, I created an account with my new email address. However, as I wanted to keep my old Microsoft account (with features like Windows Live, which I still use on some games out of necessity) I deleted this new account.

However, I cannot add the Google Mail address as an alias, as I am informed that 'This email address is already taken. Please try another one.'

Ideally, I would like any links to my old email removed and updated (contact preferences changed to Gmail, ID changed to Gmail etc.)

Is this possible? Thanks.

Gmail won’t forward to Outlook

14. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, OUTLOOK inbox

Hello,

In order to forward email I get from my Gmail inbox straight to my Outlook box, I followed the directions here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/other-email-accounts

However, I am still not receiving my Gmail in my Outlook inbox. Would this have anything to do with the fact that I originally created this MS account using my Gmail, then switched my primary alias to an Outlook alias? Should I delete my Gmail from my Outlook aliases?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

I cannot send email : “535 5.2.1 Login to your account via a web browser to verify your account.”

I am getting this error using an email aggregator. The application is called Iqtell (www.iqtell.com) and I use it because it allows me to see all my different mail accounts in one place. However, for my hotmail account I cannot send email. It keeps giving me this error message. All my other accounts work fine: yahoo, aol, exchange, gmail, and apple. Its only hotmail that doesn't work.

"535 5.2.1 Login to your account via a web browser to verify your account."

I have tried to login as suggested by the error message and see if that verifies me but it doesn't. Are you expecting me to login to the hotmail.com web page on the email aggregator servers? That is impossible since I don't have access to them or own them. They are a third party application. I also contacted iqtell support and they said the servers are linux terminal servers with no gui. So its impossible to reach the hotmail webpage from their servers.

Should I switch to using Gmail? I have no problem with gmail and it supports IMAP.

I’m not receiving any emails from any account that ends in gmail.com

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail

I've looked through the forums but can't find anything. I'm not receiving any emails from any account that uses gmail. It makes no difference if the account ends in @gmail.com or is hosted by gmail (i.e. my university email that ends in ******.edu). I do receive gmail emails on a separate windows outlook.com email address that I have.

All the senders are in the safe sender list.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much

Problem receiving emails from Gmail

09. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook account

Hello, I am new to Outlook and I really like it. I am not using Microsoft Outlook on desktop though because of privacy concern. Instead, I am signing at outlook.com.

I've got a problem of syncing my emails from a Gmail account to my Outlook account. I did create a send-and-receive Gmail account and I can send emails using either my Outlook address or Gmail address. Then when someone sent me an email to my Gmail account, the email was not synced to the folder on my Outlook automatically. I have to go to More mail settings/Your email accounts/Accounts you've added/Details/Edit and Save, then they say it's retrieving and I got my emails. I have to do that every time I want to check my Gmail. It's really annoying.

Is it just me or it's a limitation of the web Outlook? What should I do?

P/S: I want to get only my new Gmail emails synced to Outlook, not all emails.

Thank you very much.

Outlook.com not syncing with outlook app/Windows Phone. Receiving error message We’re updating your Inbox.

Original Title: Outlook.com not syncing with outlook app/Windows Phone

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire R7 convertible laptop. It is running windows 8.

I have had a MS account with a gmail email address as my username. I added an alias *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, and removed all of the gmail associations, both within my MS Live account, and my email accounts. After doing this, I can not receive or send any emails to/from my outlook.com account, my mail app on Windows 8, or my Windows 8 smartphone. I tried to manually sync my mail in the mail app by pressing the sync button, but I get a message in the top right hand side of the window that says *** Email address is removed for privacy *** is unavailable.

I thought maybe it was just a problem with the email address, so I added an alias - *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Still the same issue, with one exception. Now when I try to log onto outlook.com, it now says "We're updating your inbox". I thought maybe it just needs some time, so I waited to check on it until this morning. I still can not send or receive emails to either of my outlook accounts. Additionally, my outlook accounts will not sync to my Lumia 1020.

I tried sending a test email to my outlook.com address from my gmail address, and it was sent back to me. The message that was sent back read:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipients failed.
nathanieldodge@outlook.com

Final-Recipient: rfc822;nathanieldodge@outlook.
Action: failed
Status: 5.1.1
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 5.1.1 Mailbox nathanieldodge%outlook.com@7/

test 2

I decided that I was going to migrate from gmail to MS for all of my communication/connection needs, and would like to do this as soon as possible. Please help.

reset my account

04. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail

Hello

Weeks ago, I decided to change to gmail because I thought that Outlook.com had become very slow to use. I created an account and transferred my emails across using online guidance. I setup a forwarding to gmail within my Outlook.com

I then realized I would have to change my email address on many different sources and actually this would not be worth it, so I transferred my mails back to outlook.com and put a forwarding address in gmail

I now have a VERY confusing outlook.com account which is making me regret ever doing this

- My emails are in a POP folder instead of my inbox

- New emails are going to my inbox AND the POP folder

- I now get multiple copies of new emails

I have tried to correct this but have failed to to do and I do not understand lots of the settings anyway. If I cannot correct this, then I want to know how I can reset my account and start again with an empty mailbox (I have no contacts or other information I want to save)

Regards

Create and use a Gmail IMAP account (with customisation) in MS Outlook

02. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: customisation, Gmail, MS Outlook

Hi,

I've created a IMAP account for Gmail in MS outlook and wish to use the same with the following customisation:

1. Map the send and delivery to a specific PST file (rather than the most recent auto-generated one)

2. Move/ copy or create a fresh set of Contacts, journal, claendar, tasks, feeds and all supplementary folders/ features associated with MS outlook to this Gmail account.

3. On the navigation pane, set/ move the Gmail PST as the primary folder list

4. Close the default Outlook PST file after completing the above.

I tried the existing help feature in MS outlook, however, some of these have not been addressed.

Could you please help with the above.

Many thanks and with regards,
