How to use multiple addresses and automatically answer from the appropriate address

04. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
I am currently using Gmail. In my browser and on Android. I think I wanna switch to outlook.com but have a few questions concerning things that I know Gmail can do but I am not sure if outlook.com is also capable of ..

I am using 3 email addresses. None of them at gmail, live, hotmail or outlook.
Currently I am forwarding all 3 accounts to my gmail address and told gmail to answer emails with the same address they were sent to. That works out almost perfectly. Also on Android.

Can outlook.com do the same? I know that I can also forward other accounts and I can set a default address when writing emails. But is outlook.com smart enough to automatically choose the appropriate address?

I definitely would need an @live.com address, right? I currently have a SkyDrive account using my private email address.

If all this works on outlook.com, how about the Android App, Windows 8 App and Office 2013 Outlook?

Thanks

mail forwarded from Gmail doesn’t arrive in Outlook.com

I have an IMAP Gmail account that I want to forward to Outlook.com.  I thought I’d followed all the set-up instructions for forwarding in Gmail and I even received an email in Outlook requesting confirmation of the forwarding request.  I clicked on the link to confirm and received a verification that Gmail was now able to forward to Outlook.  However, when I send myself a test message to the Gmail account from another email account I own, the message only goes to my Gmail Inbox and never gets forwarded to the Outlook.com Inbox.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

some emails from gmail are not getting auto-forwarded to Outlook.com

I have enabled FORWARD ALL EMAILS from Gmail to Outlook.com. Most of the emails are getting forwarded and are being received normally on Outlook.com immediately but some emails from gmail are not appearing on Outlook.com after getting auto-forwarded from gmail.com. Gmail shows that it has auto-forwarded the emails to my Outlook.com address but they don't arrive into my Outlook.com inbox
These emails are in the Inbox of Gmail and are getting auto-forwarded but they just dont appear in the inbox of my Outlook.com address. I have no filters enabled in Outlook.com and these emails are not in the junk folders of Outlook.com. Where did those emails disappear after being auto-forwarded from Gmail to Outlook.com. Please help me. Urgent!

Reply from email address that received email

I am using Outlook.com to receive email from a number of mailboxes. In one instance, I am forwarding all emails from one of my gmail accounts to Outlook.com. However, I noticed that when I reply to emails received in Outlook.com from that gmail address seem to go out from my default Outlook.com address and not the gmail address. (Yes, I have set up that gmail address to be a Send Only email address, FYI).


Is it even possible to reply with the correct reply-to address, or does Outlook.com always reply from the default email address only?

Outlook Messaging Won’t Load

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

I am in the process of migrating from Gmail to Outlook; however, I am having trouble with the messaging function from the inbox. When I come to work and connect to our network, the messaging application refuses to sign-in. I have attached an image to highlight the problem. When I am on my home network, the messaging application works fine, but I am beginning to wonder if there is a network setting at work, which is preventing me from connecting.

 

I am curious, though, because the messaging function in my Gmail inbox was always functional on my work network. Why would messaging in Gmail function at work and not Outlook. Any help would be appreciated! I really like using Outlook, but I am afraid if this issue is not resolved, I may have to go back to using Gmail.

 

For those wondering, I am using IE 10 on a Lenovo laptop with Windows 7 SP1 (network administrator controls Windows Update).

 

Thanks!

 

Transfer emails/files from Gmail to Outlook

Now that Outlook.com supports IMAP and the TrueSwitch is closed - what is the easiest way to transfer old emails (including folders and attachments) from Gmail to outlook.com? I mean I can use something like YippieMove but it's not free...

Transfer emails to Windows Live

I've used Virgin Media email for 4+ years, and gmail for nearly 2 years. I have recently left Virgin broadband and they have told me I would lose access to my stored emails after 60/90 days. I would like to transfer these to a USB hard drive and have told I need a program like Windows Live to do this. I have been trying to link my gmail account to Windows Live without success - frankly I've forgotten how to do it! I have checked in setting/forwarding & POP/IMAP that POP and IMAP are enabled. I'm getting error messages 0x800CCC0D and 0x800CCC92. Most of the solutions seem to involve downloading software which scans your computer and tells you there are hundreds of errors etc.; which I don't trust. Can someone point me to a set of instructions which will walk me through the setup of linking my gmail to Windows Live Mail? Thanks in advance.
