How do I transfer an email alias for my outlook.com account

04. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
Hello

I currently own two outlook.com accounts; one which has an email alias that I would like to use and another which has a 25GB SkyDrive allocation. I would like to be able to use the email alias from the first account with the second account which has the increased SkyDrive allocation. I have tried transferring email aliases but it does not seem straightforward - apparently when one account relinquishes an alias it stays 'reserved' for 30 days (?). I wouldn't like to run the risk of relinquishing the email alias from my first account and forget to set it for the second account and lose it to someone else. Could someone help me with a transfer please?

cheers

Skype mirrored in Outlook…WHY???

04. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
Dear MS
I have read some of the posts and discussions regarding this topic, but still nothing has been done to fix the issue. Why?
Surely it is simple enough for yourselves to just add an option to turn off Skype within Outlook. It is absolutely infuriating to have dual tones coming through for every Skype call. I need access to my Outlook account 24 hours per day, and I also need access to my Skype 24 hours per day. I DO NOT want to have Skype running through my email! I, and everybody else, seems to want the two programs running independently.
This was not a good decision on your part, and I would like to know what your intentions are regarding this issue so I can make a decision whether to stay with your service, or find a new service?

I need to convert alias to make office 365 possible

04. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
So I have my own domain email running through outlook.com for free, mail@tom.......co.uk

I also have an alias setup on this account tom.......*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

I want to move mail@tom.......co.uk to office 365 BUT if I do that I will no longer have access to my alias.

So I need to either set up email forwarding for my alias or convert that Alias over to a normal outlook.com address so that I can still get to it while I move across in case any old contacts are still using it.

Without one of the above I can run the risk of losing access to this account, moving over my primary address means this will happen.

windows phone video upload quality

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

Hi all first time Wp8 user and sophomore SkyDrive user.

 

My issue is with the quality of my video upload when uploading larger videos to my SkyDrive account via my Lumia 928 on Verizon. Basically I take a great HD video of my kids that looks and sounds great but when I upload it SkyDrive compresses it so bad my kids look like muddy aliens from planet 8 bit! :) I use the manual method via pushing and holding on the video, share, save to SkyDrive.

 

very short videos seem to be ok but larger ones are unusable. I have verified that my WiFi connection is good. Is there a fix in the works or is there a suggestion box? Or is this one of those growing pains things that make wp8 and SkyDrive "almost" recomendable to friends and family :(.

 

I mean I know its possible since the other cloud service that shall not be named was able to perform the same function over a year ago on my old galaxy...

 

Anyways thanks in advance!

 

M3mel aka I wanna love wp8 and SkyDrive so bad!

Windows Live Email – why won’t my subfolders show?

04. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I recently signed on to Windows Live Email on my laptop. I last signed in on this device in 2011. It took a really long time to sync my account, understandably, and at first all seemed okay. Now, I can't see any of my sub-sub-folders. I can see the Inbox and other sub-folders under my hotmail account, but anything under those folders doesn't show up. I can search for the messages and they are there, so why can't I see the actual folder? Weird. Thanks in advance for your help.

Deleted contact from a group, but contact is still receiving mail

04. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I knew how to add, delete and amend contacts in Groups until Microsoft messed around with it again.  Nevertheless, I trawled through countless posts on here until I found out the 'latest' way to update Groups.  Microsoft really need to leave hotmail/outlook alone - it's very confusing when users find it has changed every time you go to use it!

Rant over, I recently removed a load of contacts from three Group listings I use regularly.  However, when I sent an email to the Groups, some (or possibly all, I have no way of telling without getting in touch with everyone I deleted from the Groups) of those removed from the list have still received the email!! When I check the Group listings, the contacts are DEFINITELY not showing.   

Can anyone advise me on this?
