Windows Live Mail FAQ

copying mail from Work exchange account to outlook.com account

01. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: exchange account, personal emails, work exchange account
I have an work exchange account with a lot of personal emails stored on it, they are saved as a .pst file. I want to transfer them to this outlook.com account so I can use them. There are too many to email seperately. Is there a way to copy them onto a usb stick and port them over? I'm not very technical and would need detailed instructions

Problems with hotmail sync to Droid Maxx (android) – won’t sync flags

27. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Droid Razr Maxx HD, exchange account, sync

I am using a Droid Maxx (and previously a Droid Razr Maxx HD with the same problem).  I set up an exchange account to sync with my hotmail account (server = m.hotmail.com).  The emails generally sync well (sometimes the read/unread updates fail), but the flags never sync from my device to my Outlook 2010 account on my PC.  This is very frustrating as I use the flags to mark which emails I need to address when I am at my desk.  Incidentally, no problems with this using either my Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 tablets with stock android email app.  Any solutions?

Thanks

Outlook for MAC 2011 Folder Structure

25. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: attachments, exchange account, folder structure, Personal Accounts
I have the default installation of Outlook for MAC 2011 (14.3.7 - 130812).  I have setup an Exchange account for my work and two POP/iMAP accounts for personal use.  I am trying to understand the folder structure for the email (and any attachments to the email) for each account.  What I am trying to do is exclude backing up the directories that contain any messages/attachments associated with the Exchange account since that is already backed up at the office.  Therefore, I would only be backing up the email and attachments associated with the two personal accounts.  The work Exchange account is very large and since I am paying for backup capacity on my laptop, I don't want to pay for the large amount of work email to be backed up!

Any help is appreciated!

exchange account and mobile Outlook.com app

19. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: exchange account, Microsoft account, Microsoft Exchange
I have a Microsoft Exchange email account for my work email and use Outlook on my laptop while at work. I have added the android Outlook.com app to my phone. My work email address is the primary one for my new Microsoft account. No email shows up in the mobile app. I assumed there would be a setup step within the mobile app for specifying the server. My resident email app does.

Can MS Exchange host email addresses ending in non MS domains?

12. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: domain name, exchange account, microsoft, MS Exchange

I currently have an exchange account hosted by a third party with a domain name that is mine. I would like to know if I can have Microsoft host my domain name on the MS Exchange or MS Outlook  environment so that I can have my @live.ca account and other email addresses all hosted in one environment.

If this is possible, what is involved to move my domain name over to a Microsoft hosted service?

Thanks for your assistance.

 

Problems with Contacts in Outlook for Mac 2011

03. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: exchange account, MacBook Air, Macbook pro
I have been running Outlook for Mac 2011 for about a year.  I'm using Outlook exclusively with an Exchange account on two separate Macs.

Over the last few months a problem has grown with my contacts when using my MacBook Pro.  When I click the Contacts tab, then attempt to click a contact or initiate a search, I get the pinwheel for 30+ seconds before I can interact with any contacts.  This happens every singe time I return to the Contacts section.

I have a second Mac where I'm also using Outlook to access the same Exchange account.  This problem does NOT happen on the MacBook Air.  Same Exchange account in both cases, same version of Outlook (14.3.6).

I created a new identity today and let it rebuild the data directly from Exchange.  I'm experiencing the same thing with the rebuilt identity.

Where should I go from here?


Android app vs. manually configured exchange server

31. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Android, android phone, corporate account, exchange account, exchange server
I'm a new user. It appears that there are (at least) two ways to connect my Android phone to my Outlook.com account:

  1. Use the Android app
  2. Add the Outlook.com account to my phone as a "corporate account" ... which I believe is just another name for setting it up as an exchange account (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/android-no-app)

Am I correct that the second would also work? Would the second sync email, contacts, calendar, and archive folders just as the first does?

Are there any benefits to the first over the second?

Are there any benefits to the second over the first? In particular, would the second approach have the same limitation of not downloading any email messages older than 30 days as the app has?

Thanks,
Allen

How to migrate mail messages to Exchange

30. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: exchange account, Mail messages
Hi everyone,

I do work with Outlook 2011 for Mac.
I have to migrate 2 gb of messages from an IMAP account over to an Exchange account.
I've tried transferring a big bunch of emails at the same time and i see something gets stuck in the process, and I'm not quite sure what the best way could be.
Can you advise the best way to do that?

Thanks


Archive folder in Exchange Online

30. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Archive folder, Exchange, exchange account, Exchange Online, Microsoft office 365
Hi everyone,

I'm using an Exchange account (provided by Microsoft Office 365) with Outlook 2011 on Mac.
I have a lot of messages i have to transfer on to this new account; since i would like to keep the inbox quite clean and not overload it i was looking for a way to create a different folder (not a subfolder to the Inbox) to store a lot of messages in it.
I can't find any way to create a brand new folder in Exchange and since Outlook for Mac does not offer any archive option i was wondering how to work this out.
Can you please help?

Thanks
