My account could be compromised

13. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I have an outlook email, which I log in using Skype. Today I woke up and I was logged out of Skype (which was weird enough already, since my computer was up all night, with sleep mode fully disabled).

Then when I tried to log in, a message that someone else logged my account in another computer appeared, and asked me to change my info, which I have already done now.

I have important data on my email, and I would like to know if my email has been compromised or not. Is it possible to check it out by seeing the last ips that loggeed my acount? the whole thing happened in the last 24 hours.

And I wanna know if it was just an error or something because I'm scared. I was hoping this was just some kind of error, because my email password wasn't even changed, but I don't like to use unsafe email account that have been compromised before, I always ditch them and create new one's.

So yeah, please if there's a way check the IP's that logged in the last 24 hours (or 48 better). They all should be from Spain.

The email is linked to this account, thanks.

Keep getting message which wants me to sign up for Skype

I never used messenger and now am being told I must sign up for Skype which I do not want, but there is no option for not signing up for Skype only for signing up later.  What if I do not want Skype?  Is my only option to make Google Chrome or Yahoo my preferred provider and lose all my Hotmail?  This really annoys me

Skype Contacts not Syncing with iPhone

Hello Everyone!

I'd like to know whether is it possible to synchronize my Skype Contacts with my iPhone (iOS7). For the time being, seems like just my Outlook contacts are being synchronized. Contacts marked with a Skype Icon are not being included in the process.

Thanks,
Erik

IM notifications when logged in to SkyDrive

08. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
Since sometime after Microsoft merged with Skype, when I am accessing SkyDrive.com and working on documents, I notice notifications for incoming Skype IMs.

While working, in particular, in a OneNote document, I cannot see a way to acknowledge, see, or dismiss the notification.  It just flashes in the tab.  The words in the tab for this open web page alternate between the name of the Notebook I'm working on, and the words "2 New IMs"

I find this constant flashing distracting, and would really like to turn it off.  But when the only SkyDrive tab you have open is one where you're working in a OneNote document, there is nowhere you can click to either go invisible, or see the messages.

If notifications are going to show themselves on a given page, then there needs to also be an interface on that page to deal with them.

Thank you,
Sandra

Are Outlook and Skype Merging

05. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
I thought I remembered reading a while back that Skype and Outlook are merging.  I.e. Skype would be one of the options to select from the drop-down menu when you are logged in to outlook.com (along with people, calendar and Skydrive).

Is this still meant to be happening?

I cannot unblock skype contacts

03. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags:
Skype has blocked several of my contacts for no reason whatsoever, and I cannot unblock them regardless of what I do, the unblock buttons are greyed out on skype itself, and outlook's "limited contacts" list is USELESS because nobody is on said list in the first place.

I just wasted two hours talking to skype support, which amounted to nothing except them angering me and then giving up, essentially saying "lol msn's problem not ours", I cannot find a way to directly contact anybody on here, and all of the canned replies I've seen on this forum do absolutely nothing to help me.

I'm at my wits end with this and it's really starting to get me mad.
