Can’t add my gmail email address as an alias

06. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, Gmail email

Hello,

I used to have two live accounts. One which used my personal gmail emaill address as the user ID and one that used my work email as my user id. I have closed the live account associated with my gmail email address, and I am trying to add my gmail address as an alias on the account which was setup under my work email address. I cannot get live to accept my gmail address and it insists it is already in use even though I closed that live account. I want ultimately change the primary user ID for the account created with my work email to my gmail email address. I have tried to submit a formal support request to MS, but none of the links for that seem to be working.

Any thoughts on how I can get this cleaned up. I really want to retain the live account tied to my work email since I have a great deal of personal stuff tied to it. I no longer work for the same company is the other reason I want to change the primary userID to my gmail email address.

Thx

Bryan

Outlook.com Inbox Deletes read messages after a couple of hours

Hello,

Like the UI.

I want to use outlook.com for everything but from my gmail email address.

I forward all my mails from gmail to outlook.com- this works fine.

The new mails will come in, however after a couple of hours they will disappear from the inbox. I would like them to stay in my inbox after I've read them so that I can refer back to them- like Gmail or Outlook.

This applies to Outlook.com, outlook android app, and Windows 8 tablet app.

I've checked:

the sweep folder has no relevant rules.

I have disabled POP and now only using forwarding.

Imap is disabled.

Are you able to help with this?

Cheers,

Daniel

Outlook.com not syncing with outlook app/Windows Phone. Receiving error message We’re updating your Inbox.

Original Title: Outlook.com not syncing with outlook app/Windows Phone

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire R7 convertible laptop. It is running windows 8.

I have had a MS account with a gmail email address as my username. I added an alias *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, and removed all of the gmail associations, both within my MS Live account, and my email accounts. After doing this, I can not receive or send any emails to/from my outlook.com account, my mail app on Windows 8, or my Windows 8 smartphone. I tried to manually sync my mail in the mail app by pressing the sync button, but I get a message in the top right hand side of the window that says *** Email address is removed for privacy *** is unavailable.

I thought maybe it was just a problem with the email address, so I added an alias - *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Still the same issue, with one exception. Now when I try to log onto outlook.com, it now says "We're updating your inbox". I thought maybe it just needs some time, so I waited to check on it until this morning. I still can not send or receive emails to either of my outlook accounts. Additionally, my outlook accounts will not sync to my Lumia 1020.

I tried sending a test email to my outlook.com address from my gmail address, and it was sent back to me. The message that was sent back read:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipients failed.
nathanieldodge@outlook.com

Final-Recipient: rfc822;nathanieldodge@outlook.
Action: failed
Status: 5.1.1
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 5.1.1 Mailbox nathanieldodge%outlook.com@7/

test 2

I decided that I was going to migrate from gmail to MS for all of my communication/connection needs, and would like to do this as soon as possible. Please help.

Calendar & email sync nightmare: WP8, WinRT and OSX

27. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, Gmail email, google

I have been using Gmail since the start, and even have a Google domain which is used for my primary email, calendar, and contacts.

On my Windows Phone, I can access Outlook.com and Gmail services just fine for email, calendar, and contacts.

On my Surface RT, I am unable to configure the calendar app to access my Gmail calendar at all. Email and contacts work fine.

On my OSX laptop, I am unable to configure the email, calendar, or contacts apps to access Outlook.com.

I'll obviously leave my Gmail email and contacts alone as they work on everything.

I'd really like a single calendar that I can access on all three devices though, as it's a pain having to use the web version on either the Surface RT or laptop depending on which calendar I choose.

Is there a simple solution to this?
