Sign-In Issue

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Ughhhhh.... I am so frustrated with the changeover from Hotmail to Outlook. Another issue that I'm currently having now is that when I sign-in the default view is to a random folder (not the Inbox itself). As in, I have a folder called "Deals" that is a sub-folder of the actual Inbox where new mail comes in. When I sign in, it defaults to the "Deals" folder instead of the actual Inbox. This is just irritating every time. Can you assist?

Yes, it happens every time.
No, it doesn't matter which browser I use (I'm using Chrome and Chrome Incognito)

I have attached a screenshot for your reference. This is the view I get when I sign-on.

Thanks.

Laptop stolen; need help circumventing password rules

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com

Friday night, someone broke into my apartment and stole my laptop. I had installed Prey (preyproject.com), a piece of tracking & recovery software in the event that something like this ever happened. However, it has dawned on me that unless the thief can log in to my computer, they can't use it and Prey can't work it's magic. I attempted to reset my password for my account to something simple so they would be able to log in with a few guesses, but the webform disallows weak passwords. I am hoping someone will be able to manually set an intentionally weak/obvious password on my account to facilitate the recovery process.

Outlook.com account details

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Hi,

First of all, let me say that live.com or Outlook.com service is great (and I'm an Apple user!), but lately is driving me crazy.

In People app or whatever this is, I had my own contact (phone numbers, emails, addresses...) to share it with people I want and know. I have a friend on FB with exactly the same name and surname as mine is and I found out that was automatically associated with my contact ... whenever, I sent out an email, his profile picture was sent out(!!!). No problem, I “unlinked” his FB profile from my contact.

Funny thing is, that I cannot link my FB profile with my contact in People app. Whenever I’m sending an email, no profile picture is shown ... and I have my picture on Outlook.com account. So, I thought, I will delete my contact from People app and then fulfil all fields within account ... WRONG! I basically cannot fill down where I work, I cannot associate my FB profile to my account, I cannot put my home address .... are you serious Microsoft?

At the same time I have a SkyPE profile, with all my data in (home and work address, emails....), but obviously this cannot be merged, since I have one profile picture on SkyPE account and one another on Outlook.com account.

Seriously, how can someone “consolidate” all Microsoft accounts (Outlook.com, SkyPE, XBOX...) and have his own data among contacts to send “digital” business card when needed?

 

And here I can see again one another profile picture!!!!!!!!

Hacker has changed my password!

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
On Saturday 10th August, the passwords to three of my email accounts were changed without my knowledge. I managed to change one back because the account is linked up with my mobile phone but the other two I cannot change back. Also, my facebook password was changed that day and I managed to change it back and then someone changed it again! So two days later I still do not have access to two of my email accounts and my facebook which is starting to worry me. I've been asked to submit my security question answer for both of the accounts which there is a possible two answers for but neither of them work. I've filled out the form about 3 or 4 times for each account and still nothing. Maybe they changed my personal details? I don't know. Anyway, I'm really concerned about this and I'm worried someone will take personal information from those accounts. I asked the support team on twitter for help and they directed me here. Can anyone please help me? I have the two accounts synced up to my iPhone so I can prove they're my accounts. Many thanks.

Sending group invites in SkyDrive

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I have created a group for my colleagues to share their professional development information via spreadsheet.  As of Friday, I was able to add about 30 people to the group and then I started receiving the error message, "this person is unable to accept anymore group invitations."  Some of the people who I am receiving this message for are brand new employees and I know they aren't a member of any groups yet.  Please advise on how to remedy this issue. 

Thank you,

Windows Live Mail Client 2009 Spell Check Auto-correct not working.

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
OS: Windows XP SP3. Email Client: Windows Live Mail 2009 (Build 14.0.8117.0146). OS and email client are up to date, according to Window Update.

Issues:
1. Fails to auto correct while typing.
Tools-->Options-->Spelling Tab--->Automatically correct common capitalization and spelling errors is checked while Always check spelling before sending was unchecked.

2. The spell check on this document was halted. Do want to send it anyway?
Settings on the Spelling Tab:
Always check spelling before sending;
Check spelling as I type (this feature works correctly);
English-US is Installed.

I read that you should choose between "Automatically correct common capitalization and spelling errors"
AND "Always check spelling before sending" as they do not work at the same time. Checking individually has not made a difference even restarting PC after change.

We have an  a few computers running the same OS and client as indicated above with the same issue.

Please respond if you have a resolution or even an idea of how to resolve this issue.

Thank You.
