safe contacts

05. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , ,

We use Microsoft Office 2010, specifically got it for Outlook for our email account. When I log into webmail, there are messages in a POP folder, listed under deleted files. These messages are from people on my safe senders contact list. Why don't they go to my inbox? If they are not in my inbox, I cannot receive them into Office Outlook 2010, I  have to log on to webmail then move them to my inbox from the pop folder, then go back to my Office Outlook to see them in my inbox. I was told by Microsoft that in Office 2010, you cannot receive any junkmail, every known email address has to be added to my safe senders list in order to receive emails. So I've done that but it still won't bring them into my inbox. Really annoying to have to check the same email account in 2 different places to make sure I'm not missing anything. In Office Outlook, there is already a folder for junk mail but nothing ever comes to that folder, so why is it even there anyways?

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

Live Mail Address Book & Contacts are not linked

Introduction: After realizing that Office Outlook performed "poorly" with the "hotmail connector" I uninstalled it and transferred everything related to Hotmail over to Live Mail - that is after i decided to re-try Live Mail again. While Live Mail imported folders, emails and accounts w/settings from Office Outlook virtually flawlessly, it did not import my address book with contacts. To this end I manually exported them from Outlook into a cvs file and then imported that cvs file in Live Mail and an address book filled with contacts was created in Live Mail.

Problem: However, those contacts in the Address Book are not showing up when I create a New Mail Message in Live Mail. With the Live Mail Address Book Open i can see a listing of my contacts. But when I flip over to the blank email message and click the "to" button, the contact list is blank. Clicking around that blank contacts dialog window trying to find a method to select or link the address book is helpful as well. It is though the address book and the contacts are 2 separate sub-programs in Live Mail. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I don't recall why i gave up Live Mail a couple of years ago, but perhaps this is one of the annoying quirks that annoys the **** out of us.

Solution 1 - Incidentally, i don't use messenger so its connection is disable in Live Mail at this time.

Solution 2 - Repair Live mail resulted in no change.

Thanks for any suggestions or solutions (or opinions).

ps: I am impressed that Live Mail works much "MUCH" better for hotmail than Office Outlook.   I almost lost all of my data in Outlook several times, but if it were not for system restore that saved them (and my sanity).

Office Outlook works much better and appears stable now without any connections to Hotmail.
