How to use Outlook mail in my Windows Mail page

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I have always used Windows Mail for my emails from any email account that I had. I have now set up an outlook.com email account, and want to view these in my Windows Mail. I have had difficulty in contacting outlook to get my outlook email address server names which I believe I need. I require both the incoming and outgoing server names. When I try to ask outlook, it just tells me to ask the community, which I am now doing.

Please can someone out there help me in as simple a way as you can? I shall be eternally grateful.

Thank you.

Migration to Office 365 deleted all of my previous emails

Someone please help
So my school recently made a transition from Microsoft Live to Office 365 and up until 3 days ago the transition was smooth. We had migrated for about 2 months now. Three days ago, I was able to see ALL of my emails that I kept since 2011, then when I checked for an older email I was only able to see emails since August 28, 2013. I don't know where all of my emails went! All of the Inbox folders I created are still there with their respective emails in there. 
I have called my school's IT desk and they weren't able to help, I've called Microsoft and they told me to post something online because they couldn't help me over the phone. 
I just need to know if there was a setting that I had clicked that made my inbox do this, how do I reverse it? I need my emails back!

My account was shifted to outlook couple of days back. Now when I check my mailbox all my old emails are deleted. I have some very important personal mails stored there. My account was definitely not inactive and I am unable to restore the mails as explained. Strangely I was not even warned before my mails were deleted .
Please help. 

Password protect Skydrive

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I bought a Microsoft Surface and love it.  Here's my problem:  I create files in Microsoft Word and password protect them.  I use my SkyDrive as a backup in case something happens to my surface (stolen, lost, broken, etc.).  The snag is, if anyone gets on my computer and hits the SkyDrive button all the password encrypted files instantly open without asking for a password.  What's the point in having a SkyDrive backup if I can't password protect them? 

 

Is there a way to password protect either the file I save to SkyDrive OR access to the SkyDrive from my Surface?  For instance, if someone tried to access my SkyDrive from my Surface, is there a way to password protect access to even get on my SkyDrive? 

 

And if not, can anyone recommend a service I can store my files on that's like SkyDrive?  From reading other answers it seems that Google's version of cloud storage can't password protect access to files either.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Office 365 Home Premium – some Outlook email doesn’t show up on desktop Outlook

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I have Office 365 Home Premium on my Windows 7 Pro PC and I have a Windows 8 Phone.

 

My desktop Outlook Account uses Exchange ActiveSync

 

Some emails that show up in Outlook.com, on my Windows Phone 8 (server is bay-m.hotmail.com), on my iPAD (set up as MAPI) do not show up on my desktop Outlook.

 

It seems to me that this happens occasionally and only with threaded emails. My desktop Outlook does not thread emails (neither does the iPAD for that matter) whereas Outllok.com and Windows Phone 8 do.

 

So far as I can tell Contacts and Calendars all sync properly between desktop Outlook, Outlook.com and Windows Phone 8 (iPAD syncs properly with entries from the Windows world but calendar and contacts entered in iPAD do not show up in desktop Outlook, Outlook.com or Windows Phone 8) .

 

It is only desktop Outlook that is on occasion missing emails. This is a significant problem for me as desktop Outlook is where I organize my email and where I almost always reply to emails.

 

Two other things:

 

1. I've also experienced dragging and dropping an email in desktop Outlook from a folder to the Inbox and the email has disappeared from desktop Outlook altogether.

 

2. For emails that do not show up in desktop Outlook - I go to Outlook.com and move such an email from the Inbox to a folder --that email (which was not in my desktop Outlook Inbox) will then show up in that folder in desktop Outlook.

 

Any help with or explanation of this problem would be appreciated.
