I've tried the instructions people have given for Outlook but they don't seem to work. When I check the boxes on my People list and go to the Group I've set up I can't get the "apply' button to activate.

My email address that I have had for 10 years has been blocked by Microsoft; along with all my friends and business connection's email addresses.  I have been told it is blocked because 'someone' may have been using it without my knowledge.  I have trying without success to reestablish my original email address. Can't figure out if it is arrogance or incompetence I am up against; or a combination of both, or?   What does one do against a huge worldwide organisation who don't care if a customer leaves their company. Phoning them to complain is not an option that is given to us.

   Does anyone have a snail mail address for Bill Gates or his top executives, where I could sent a registered recorded urgent letter.  It would be appreciated.  I don't except this kind of treatment and will not except not getting my original email address back.   Anyones help will be really appreciated.  Thank you!     

I am going away on holiday and would like to send an automated email when someone sends me an email,as you do on outlook with the office assistant,you can set up a automatic message which is sent out when you receive an email.
can't add birthdays, can't change addresses

I am with all the others above.   I HATE the new PEOPLE...contacts.   It is ridiculous.   you have to go out of windows live and then got back into it when done.  before you hit the arrow back and went right to email.  now you have to into MSN and Into inbox to get there.

I would like to delete two names off a distribution list for now.  I can't even bring up and listing of who is on there.

This is not reasonable.   This has to be changed immediately.     People take vacations etc.   you have to be able to delete , read, add to the distribution list you set up   LIKE BEFORE FOR OVER 10 YEARS WE COULD DO THIS.    now  in 2012;  we ARE LOCKED IN.  

We are in a free world in the best country of the world and we cannot do a thing with the lists??????/forever???????

come on.     And I pay extra for this???????    I do.    I'm getting LESS SERVICE and WORST service than before.

the system is difficult to use
when I write an email, if I go back and change the contents and hit Enter, the text changes size to much smaller than the text that occurs after the changes.  Is this a glitch in the new Hotmail?
I hate the new format for Hotmail Contacts, called "people".    How do I get my older version back. I never asked for it to change.
