I'm trying to add a completely new group into my Hotmail.  When I add the new group in People, it doesn't even show the new group name when I try to send an email.  In People, I have the option of sending an email to the group, but that puts everyone in the TO:  I want to BC: them.  This use to be so simple!
Am using Outlook for Mac. Besides my standard mailboxes i use many sub-folders in my Inbox. 
How do I configure these sub-folders with columns for "from"; "to"; "subject"; 'size" ; "date received" etc etc  
I managed to do it for the "delete" mailbox.    
PLEASE HELP ! ---Joel (winner)

Dear *********************

In order to keep our customers safe, we had to suspend your e-mail account. This happened because your e-mail was tagged as a VIRUS account.

That's why you're prompted to verify your account to re-activate your Hotmail e-mail service by following the link below:

Spammers sometimes use automated programs to create WindowsLive or other email accounts and then send unsolicited spam messages to others.

When you click the verification link, you're asked to login again on our secured website. By completing our verification form, you prove that you're a human, and not a spam program.

Hotmail will occasionally prompt you to verify your account again, just to make sure you're still you and your account hasn't been compromised for spam purposes.

Thank you ,

I get this error when I send emails on Outlook 2011.

Outlook cannot connect to the server. Verify that your computer is connected to the network.  Error Code -3260

I have no problem receiving any emails.

The out going default port is 25

I have ticked use SSL to connect 

Outgoing Server - mail.(my website name).com.au

Anyone have any ideas?

I have deleted and re-installed this email account twice and still no joy.
I was very excited to get MS Office specifically OUTLOOK for Mac, as i use MS office at my work place and i could use same functionality and ease of use at home, but i was very disappointed when i found out that following key features were missing from Ms OUTLOOK for Mac version and i wonder why Microsoft changed these key features which make MS office /outlook popular alternative to other similar softwares:-   

1. In MS WINDOWS Outlook before sending email we could configure automatic spell check by selecting (ALWAYS CHECK SPELLING BEFORE SENDING) which is missing in MAC version.  

2. After drafting email it is not possible to place in OUTBOX to send only when i SEND/RECEIVE as was possible in MS OFFICE for windows by unselecting (SEND immd when connected) so email was stored in Outbox whereas in MAC OUTLOOK email goes immd which means i cant review email again before sending.  

3. I have several email a/cs and in MS Office for windows i could send email from any of the a/c without it showing my default a/c where as in MAC office when i send email from a different pop a/c it shows in from the name of a/c and as well sent by default a/c name, which is not good as the purpose of sending email from different a/c (personal) a/c is defeated as it shows my work email also as sender.  

4. The signatures of different email a/cs don't appear by default when composing new email for a particular email a/c, which was possible in MS office and was a great feature.  

5. font and size of all incoming email cant be fixed so it is easy to view.  

6. Not possible re call send email.  

I would request Microsoft add above features in MS office or as additional plug in as these are features which MS office so great.  

Also in XLS the key board shortcuts for formating like wrap text and merge cells are missing.
I know when a person logs into their Hotmail account that it automatically takes you to the new Outlook format. I also know that if a user wants to, they can go to the upper right cog (by the users name) under options and have the option to switch back to Hotmail format. What I want to know is that even when a user does use those options to go back to the Hotmail format, every time they log out & log in at another time, it goes right back to the Outlook format. How can a user PERMANENETLY choose to have the Hotmail format instead of the new Outlook format?
I want to delete an address in my hot mail address book that I no longer use.  How do I do it?  Thanks.
