how can I get it back to hotmail instead of outlook please?

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

When I went into my hotmail a week or so ago I saw a item on outlook. I thought I'd have a look and whilst I was there In also made a new name and  @outlook. Without realising that I had actually changed anything, I went back to my hotmail box only to find that my inbox etc had changed to outlook. I am having all sorts of frustrations with it and have looked and looked for a way to get back to my old hotmail. I just wish I hadn't looked now, how do I change it back to hotmail please?

Outllok for Mac 2011 : Server Timeout Issues with POP3 Server

16. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
Outlook has timeout errors connectng to a pop3 server continually, whilst mac mail, thunderbird and any other mail client I download has no trouble. 

Usual error is the old sever may be busy or high network load rubbish.

Especially if the pop3 server has more than 1000 msgs but not limited to this. 

I am ready to give up on Outlook and go back to Mac Mail (despite the inferior junk filter!)  Any ideas ?

Editing contacts (People)

I have edited some of my contacts' addresses and whilst only the revised version appears in the list of contacts, when I type the name into the address bar both the revised and previous versions appear.  How do I delete the unwanted address as it does not appear in the contacts list??

In Box has changed

15. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , ,
I've been away for two weeks and have had problems logging on to my emails with my laptop this morning. All was OK using my phone whilst away and all seems to be working fine now.
However, when I did eventually get started, my Inbox has completely changed and when I click on a mail to open it I have to search for the mail because it opens at the bottom of the page.
How can I resort this to how it was before so that when I click on it it opens as normal and fills the page?

Sending e-mails to BCC (groups)

14. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , ,
I used to be able to see from my Sent e-mails section the list of BCC contact names when I was sending as a BCC whole groups created in my contacts section.  Since my contacts have changed to People a few days ago, I no longer can do so and am unable to check whether I have sent e-mails to correct lists of people (belonging to groups) whilst keeping confidential their e-mail addresses to other members of the group.  Can you help please?

Option to prefix plain text message replies with > is gone

29. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
THe option to reply to plain text messages whilst quoting the original message prefixed by is missing in Outlook 2011? IS there a backdoor way to get this functionality back? As a security professional, I never ever use HTML because of the risks on of such messages. Now it is a colossal pain in the **** to use Outlook because it is difficult to reply in line with the current configuration. Does anyone know of a way to restore the previous behaviour or a third party add on?

Outlook 2011 Contact import problem

15. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Am trying to move contact records from Outlook for Windows 2010 to Office for Mac 2011. I have saved the records as a csv dos file and as a csv windows file. I have tried to import them to the Mac but whilst the process seems to work no contacts can be seen in the contacts folder under any of the categories including junk.

I have rebuilt the database and tried both the windows and dos csv's but no difference. The only thing that changes is the value for the number of items which is now showing 4341 items and increases each time I import!

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris
