How do I find out skydrive upload status in Windows 8.1

30. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com

In Windows 8 the SkyDrive app had an icon in the system tray, and if you hovered over it, you could determine the upload status.


Now that SkyDrive is built into Windows 8.1, this icon is gone. Is there any way to determine the status of a SkyDrive upload in Windows 8.1?

Some emails do not arrive in Outlook.com

30. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,
Both my wife and I have Outlook.com accounts that receive mail that is automatically forwarded from another mailbox. We use differenet email providers but both of us find that there are some mails, maybe 1 in 100,  that simply do not arrive in Outlook.com. I have tested this by setting forwarders to both Outlook and a Gmail address and by checking the mails have arrived on the webmail of the email providers. Mails arrive OK at the provider, get forwarded OK to Gmail, can be accessed by Outlook on the desktop using POP direct to the provider, but do not arrive in the Outlook.com mailbox.
They are emphatically not in junk mail, there are no blocked senders, and there are no rules that are diverting them. They just do not arrive. I have one contact whose mails seem to repeatedly go missing but when I asked him to do a test mail sent to both my mail and my wife's - it arrived in my wife's Outlook.com but not mine! Its all very strange and a bit disturbing.
It seems to me that others complain of this problem. Is it being investigated?
Regards
Ian

I’m a system administrator managing the email servers of our clients. I have seen too many incidents where server IP address gets blacklisted on Microsoft due to which valid and important emails get blocked whereas it is far less on other popular websites such as Gmail and Yahoo.

 

The incidents of MS blocking the emails which I saw during my work prevents me to use my live.com email address for my professional email because I fear if some company sends me a recruitment email if by chance it gets blocked they will never bother to send second email and I’m in a big loss.

 

The problem is that the email address which I have with live.com looks professional and the same is not available on others so what I should I do? Shall I risk of keeping my email address on live.com?

 

 

 

 

 

Outlook.com Custom Domain and sending emails

30. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
Hi Guys,
My custom domain vibrantcommunities.com.au is set up on Outlook.com and working well, I can send and receive from Gmail, Hotmail, etc, but I cannot email any email addresses on my own personal server.  When I try to send an email from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** I get an error saying it was undeliverable - yet sending to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** is fine. This is using the Outlook.com webmail service.

My personal server resides on IP: 182.160.128.26 if that helps... 

Using the Outlook.com webmail, sending an email to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** or *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, I get the following error:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

--Forwarded Message Attachment--
From: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
To: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
Subject: Test
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:36:34 +0000


I can receive ok from my server - and I can send to Gmail & Hotmail... I just can't send to it.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Richard

I tried for past 2-3 hours, but i am not getting it how to fix this. It is showing Pending DNS configuration. Where should i create an MX record and configure DNS????? I cant see it anywhere in the settings!
Please guide me, i want this domain. Waiting for your response.

Why?

Set Up my own domain on Outlook.com – Trying to get emails into outlook

30. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
Hi Guys

Ok briefly I have done the following

Set up my own domain for outlook.com to manage the hosting. 
So my email id is not *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
What I then wanted to do is get *** Email address is removed for privacy *** coming into my Outlook on my desktop and to be able to send and receive from here.
No joy on this step. I have added the Outlook Hotmail Connector but none of the emails are coming in and I am not able to send out? Any ideas on where I am going wrong with this.

Many thanks 

Joseph
