We would like to move all of our contacts, appointments and e-mail from a PC based Outlook 2007 to an Outlook.com account.  I cannot seem to find the steps to upload information from Outlook 2007 so that we can discontinue its use and start using the Outlook.com account.  Creating the account and using the Connector is fine as long as I want to stay tied to the 2007 program, but I am trying to migrate away from that.  Isn't the intent of the Outlook.com account/program to free users from the PC based programs?

 

Between work, tablets (Android) and home, we have multiple accounts and calendars and are struggling to have everything synched to single location.  We are hoping that MS has the solutions.  Please advise the wisdom of transitioning from Outlook 2007 to the cloud based Outlook.com and then provide guidance on the mechanics of getting information transferred.

When I try to send/receive emails using Firefox on desktop. The Dialogue Box just keeps running.  Using Windows 8 loaded with files from Win 7 Last week. No problem on my laptop.

I use outlook.com through IMAP and everytime I launch MS office 2007 I get an certificate prompt and have to click 'yes' to bypass it. I have installed the certificate to my PC but this doesn't resolve the issue.

 

 

my settings are as followed:

 

email address: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

imap server: imap-mail.outlook.com SSL on port 993

smtp server: smtp-mail.outlook.com Auto on port 25

Outgoing server requires authentication

 

I am using outlook 2007 client.

 

I have reduced my IE trust settings to LOW, this didn't fix the issue.

I have added the certificates, this didn't fix the issue.

I prevented the PC from requiring SSL authentication all together, this didn't fix the issue.

I tried setting up the above account without any SSL, the mail account wouldn't connect to the server!

 

Please advise this doesn't happen with my google IMAP email addresses!

 

I have several Hotmail accounts that I have configured in Outlook 2007 (with the latest version of Communicator) on my home computer. When I'm at home, I check these accounts via Outlook; when I'm at work, I check these account via the Internet. Everything has been working fine until about a week ago. Now, if I check my mail in Outlook on my home computer, those messages are only accessible in Outlook; If I check my mail online, I can only see those messages online. I suspect one of the following:
(1) messages are not being left on the server, so whichever client (e.g. Outlook or web client) downloads a message first, that's the only place the message is accessible or viewable.
(2) Outlook is not syncing properly with my Hotmail account/servers.
I've repaired Outlook 2007 and uninstalled/reinstalled communicator. If I can't get this fixed, I'm probably going to abandon Outlook and Hotmail and move to my Gmail account.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I keep my primary calendar in Outlook 2007 Calendar on my computer.  I would like to import that calendar to the Outlook.com / SkyDrive Calendar.  I want to be able to check my calendar from remote computers. 

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I use Outlook 2007 (non Exchange) and use it to manage my calendar and contacts (which i sync with my android phone without problem) and 4 different pop3 accounts which are filtered via rules into around a dozen different inbox folders. None of these are Microsoft email accounts. I have multiple accounts for the different companies I work with so cannot consolidate them into a single account. I use Pop3 because 2 of the 4 accounts have fairly strict server storage limits and also IMAP seemed to make a complete mess of outlook's interface creating entirely new personal folders for each one. I have spent years looking for a solution that would allow me to effectively take my desktop Outlook set-up with me on the move and more specifically:

1) Sync not just my calendar and contacts but all 4 of my email accounts with a cloud service so, when out and about, I can reference and search my historic desktop inbox and also get new email for all of the accounts much as i would with the Outlook 2007
2) Send emails through my four accounts without "on behalf of" or some other unprofessional looking addition
3) Sync all these remotely conducted incoming and outgoing emails back with the desktop when I return from being out and about
3) Sync any changes I make to calendars and contacts back with the desktop

I last investigated Outlook.com as a solution to this around a year ago and was given an unequivocal no. I also found no other mail service that would allow this without buying a dedicated Exchange server. It sounds like much has improved since then so...

Can Outlook.com now handle the above requirements?

If it can't do it as I describe above, is there an alternative approach e.g. using Outlook.com as the primary receiving app with Outlook 2007 some sort of syncing partner? I believe Gmail used to allow this but they now put this functionality behind a paywall.

Any guidance much appreciated!

 
With my PC's Outlook 2007 I am able to do a search and have returned results containing information from an attached Excel file. I have been struggling with Outlook 2011 on my Mac to perform the same quality of results.

I performed the search on both the setting right next to the word 'contains' and then with all the above mentioned items clicked on while typing the search in the normal search area. Neither worked when I searched for emails with attachments that contain words I know exist.

Search (then)
All Mail (then)
Attachments (then)
Contains

Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks!!

Using Outlook 2007 still.  Distribution list does not appear as a choice in the drop down box when creating an email.  Going to the contact list, there it is with all the members.  How do I get it to appear as a choice in the drop down?  Other lists appear.  I have deleted it and recreated it.  I have closed Outlook and even rebooted.  Same thing - no choice appears for the list.

I'd appreciate any help.
