Export group contact list to my assistant

04. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
In hotmail I have a set up group contact list with about 100 names and email addresses.  I would like to export that to an assistant who doesn't use hotmail but uses gmail.  I can put it in an excel spreadsheet and send as an attachment, but then she'll have to manually enter all the names and addresses into her mail provider contact list which is gmail.  Is there an easier way to do this?  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Need a way to delete duplicate contacts

02. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
I use an internet service provider (Cox Communications) for my email and the Windows 8 Windows Live Mail client (just upgraded from Windows XP and Outlook Express).   I have many duplicates in Contacts, spent hours deleting and when I logged back in, they had all returned.  I don't use Hotmail nor do I want to.  I actually keep my 'good' list of contacts in gmail as that seems to be the only thing I can figure out and which seems to work.   But I'd like to be able to delete the 5000 contacts in the Windows Live Mail Contact folder and start over.  Any solution to this?

Problem seeing pictures embedded in emails started last week; previously this worked fine.

Last week, I started to experience problems with seeing pictures attached to emails or embedded in emails.  I see only a square with a picture icon in the middle. This occurs with both Chrome and Internet Explorer.  How do I make pictures visible again?

By the way, my husband who has a different email provider receives the same emails and can see the pictures fine on the same computer.
And the emails are coming from trusted senders whose addresses are in my address book.

Please let me know how to make the pictures attached to / embedded in my received emails visible.

emails not arriving

13. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
Since I got changed over to Outlook last week (hate it by the way) some emails which have been sent to me don't arrive. And some emails I send don't arrive at the recipient's. I know very little about computers but have happily been using Hotmail for years and never had a problem. Is there a simple solution or would it be best for me to open up another email account eg googlemail or gmail? I just want things to be simple (and I find the new Outlook thing complicated) so any recommendations on a very simple email provider for us technophobic old people would be good too.
Thanks
Jane

Outlook receives messages but won’t send. Error message is "an operation timed out."

This is happening on both my MacBook Pro and my iMac.  I have been to the Apple store 3 times in the last three weeks to try to resolve.  I have called Comcast, the internet service provider.  They claim it is not them. My family uses PCs and are not having any problems.  Any suggestions?

Windows Live Mail keeps generating an error message that 0 of 1 tasks completed for a gmail account

Regardless of what program I'm using, Every time my computer searches for new emails on my gmail account (every 15 minutes), I get an error message. "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please review the list of errors below for more details". Yet there are no errors listed. I've spent about 7 hours with H/P and another five hours with Comcast (former email provider) and still have not resolved this issue.
