Outlook(365) is not displaying all the emails from Outlook.com

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

I have seen lots of posts regarding android and iPhone's not playing nicely with Outlook.com, while not great it is understandable that Apple, Google and Microsoft have connectivity/communication hiccups.  My problem, however, is not as forgivable.  I have my email managed through an Outlook.com account.  I can see all the emails on my cell phone (iPhone 4) and on Outlook.com, but not all the emails show up on Outlook (365 - installed on my computer).  The pattern of emails not visible on Outlook 365 are those that I read and mark as unread.  Most of time, this occurs when I mark them as unread from my phone, but not always.  I have removed and reloaded the account on Outlook twice.  Each time it loads all the old emails, but it is hit or miss regarding whether it loads a new email that I mark as Unread.

 

Please help, I would like to help my colleagues get setup on Outlook.com so they can get off Gmail, but I don't feel comfortable helping them make the switch until this bug is fixed.

Why bother me with Google contacts?

04. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: ,

Hi all,


i'm really interested in why Microsoft bothers me with adding Google contacts in outlook.com messaging feature? I answered the notification with NO because i don't have Google account and never will have one. I don't want it to ask me every single time i open the webpage and start a conversation.


Why isn't a "don't ask me again" button somewhere? Leave me alone with Google things.


thanks,

adam

Google chat not working in Outlook.com

02. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
Hello!

In the messaging pane in Outlook.com, at the bottom it gave me option "Add people to chat with" and mentioned "Google contacts" below it. I clicked on it, and approved the permission Outlook.com required. It sent me an email that the connection was successful. However, I'm not seeing my Google contacts in Outlook.com, instead it's still giving me the same option "Add people to chat with" and "Google contacts" is still in the list. At the bottom of the pane, I see "Connected to" and there are icons for Windows Live Messenger and Facebook only, not Google.

When I goto people.live.com, at top-right of the screen It says "Connected to" and shows icon of Google also, along with Windows Live Messenger and Facebook. But still in the messaging pane, there is no Google icon.

When I click on the gear icon in People, I can see "Google" in the "Filter all contacts" list, but when I uncheck others and keep only Google checked, there are no contacts appearing.

When I click on my name at top-right in the menu bar, there is no option of Google chat in "Available on > ", only Facebook chat On/Off is visible.

I have tried using different web browsers, and also removed the Google connection from Outlook.com, revoking the access from Google, and reestablished everything from a scratch, the scenario is still the same.

Please solve my issue asap!

Thank you! 

Can’t access old email adress

01. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:

so yeah, this kinda sucks. Today, i discovered that i have an old Google+ account which holds information that i want gone from the web.

after a few minutes of research i came to the conclusion that it was created using my old Hotmail account as a login, and a password that i have forgotten.

So, i tried to use the "i forgot my password" thing on Google+, but it shows out that i need to be able to remember when the account was created and such (exact date) which is almost impossible when it's as old as it is.

 

So, i tried to access my old email in order to recieve the alternative password Google would send me, but it shows out that i'm unable to access it (the password i made it with simply doesn't work)

I have a slight feeling that i have done a password reset once and recieved one of those random number codes as a password, but that would also be almost impossible to dig out Again.

 

therefore, i pressed the "forgot my password" thing on my mail login page, and it brought me to a place where i could either have the password send to the alternative email i put when i created the email (that old email adress is doubtly even existing anymore) or answer some questions such as name, date of birth, etc.

 

I then proceeded to fill out the question thing, and i got answers the answers back telling me that i didn't have enough valid information on the old account to access it.

 

I have tried almost everything, and i'm getting kind of desperate.

 

Please help me

Unable To IM Other Live Accounts With Outlook.com

01. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Recently I decided to cleanup my contacts across my various accounts.  I now have everyone in my live.com account with just a few in one of my Gmail accounts so I can IM them; they do not use any of the MS accounts.

It took a while but I am able to IM my Google contacts but surprisingly I still cannot IM my contacts who have a Microsoft account.

This happens on both my personal Windows 8 machine and my work Windows 7 machine.  I primarily use Opera but I also use IE.  It happens in both browsers.

On a side note, one contact who, like me, has both Microsoft and Google accounts, only shows up as connected via Google.  It is also worth noting that this person does not use their Google account and so the best way is to connect with them with a Microsoft account.

Any ideas?

Unable to Add a Particular Domain Member/User and SMTP server issue

01. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:

Hi,

 

I am on trial with Outlook.com services since I want to compare it with Gmail.

 

I have a admin.live.com account and I have 2 domains being managed.  For this thread, let me call it DOMAINA and DOMAINB.

 

DomainA have been setup to use Outlook.com as email host. I do not have issues with Domain A. I have the followings emails working with DomainA:

 

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

 

Yesterday, I left Google and decided to delete all my emails that they host for "DomainB". DomainB is already added in my admin.live.com account. However, there is one particular email that I want to use that cannot be added as a member or user. Here's the error I am getting "The requested account name is already in use or was used in the past and has not been through the required waiting period to re-use."

 

The following are the emails I have with DomainB when I  started with Google and their current status with Outlook.com

 

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***  --- deleted from Google and created successfully in Outlook.com

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***        --- deleted from Google and created successfully in Outlook.com

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***    ---  deleted from Google  and CANNOT BE CREATED in Outllook.com. I phoned Google to ask them to release the username but they are redirecting me to contact Outlook.com / admin.live.com.

 

PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

 

Another issue that I have is the imap  servers and smtp servers are not authenticating with the email addresses I have  for domainb. They don't have issues with the emails I have with DomainA.

 

imap-mail.outlook.com SSL 993 - works with EMAILS FROM DOMAINA but not with emails from DOMAINA

smtp-mail.outlook.com TSL 587 / 25 / 465 works with EMAILS FROM DOMAINA but not with emails from DOMAINB

 

Is this because of some propagation issues or requirement? Please advise. Thanks.

 

Filtered Mail Not Going to Proper Folders

30. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I have a Live.com a/c with filters setup that pull in mail from Google. The mail is going into my @username label as well as the label for my primary alias. Not all mail goes to both locations -- some shows up in one folder and some in others. I have meticulously checked the rules I have for filtering but can't figure it out.

Hi,
I told a friend to get space on skydrive but he said he "couldn't" and ended up buying storage on Google instead.
So I tried his steps: 

Goal:  I want to learn about skydrive
Steps:
-I make a search and go to www.skydrive.com, but i am immediately redirected to login.live.com.
-I click on "Learn More" and I land on the same login page but without any link to anywhere else. I'm stuck.

Result: I cannot just read and learn info & pricing about skydrive without creating an account first??? 
We need a link somewhere to be able to get info without signing up.

Thanks MS for fixing this !

Duplicate emails in sent folder using Gmail in Recent Mode.

26. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I recently bought I-Mac & configured emails in outlook 2011 via POP configuration. I configured my Google Apps business account with POP in Recent Mode (uservame = recent:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***). POP with recent moded is mandatory for me as i am using 3 different devices (windows desktop in office & I-Mac at home, and a BB10). Windows desktop is configured with GASMO (Google apps sync for microsoft outlook), BB10 is configured with POP mode as ISP(airtel, vodafone....etc) doesn't support BB10 as of now, and I-Mac is configured with POP in Recent mode so that i will not loose any single email. 

Problem is with MAC configuration. Whenever i am sending an email from MAC, i used to get 2 copies of sent messages in my sent folder (one outlook keeps & another downloaded from Google as recent mode is activated). 

Outlook 2007, 2010 has option to unselect save sent meaasages in sent folder  but i didn't find any such option in Outlook 2011(if email is configured with POP). 

Kindly help.
