I have made many attempts in the past year to make my small business as seamless as possible. Basically my problem is this: I have 2 email accounts to be synced, mine and my bosses. They are Gmail accounts with a personal domain. I set up my bosses email
with Google Sync that I view via Outlook 2007. My email address is set as a "delegate" for my bosses email, so it is listed in the "Mail Folders" section of Outlook, but there were no emails there.. I believe I had to be a delegate in order to change her contacts
and calendar. So, since I could not see mail, I also set up a separate account within Outlook (I just did the normal Tools > Account Settings > New Account). So, the folders listed in Outlook look like this:
Google Apps: Bosses Email
My email
Google Apps: My Email
Problem I am having:
I want to take emails from MY account and move them into folders in my bosses Google Apps account. This way she will see the emails in her inbox, but she can also go to the folders to see them. When I move an email from my account to one of her folders,
they sync with my account. So I basically move an email out of my account and it gets sent right back in there.
Let me know if you need any additional information to answer. I'm having a hard time putting into words what's going on. How can I make it to where when I move emails into her Google Sync folders it won't be forwarded back to me?
Hi,
We have two hosted domains in Windows Live Domains, lounge.cl and loungestore.cl. While loungestore.cl has a 500 account limit, lounge.cl is more recent and has only 50.
If it's possible I'd ask if you could please upgrade the number of accounts to 500. We currently use Google Apps. for lounge.cl and are quite fed up with their service. The idea is to consolidate lounge.cl and loungestore.cl under a single domain in Windows
Live Domains and lounge.cl is shorter and cleaner.
The user in this thread had his account upgraded to 3500 accounts, so I hope that 500 won't be too much trouble.
Additionally, the Live Domains Admin Control Panel has the following, quite inviting message near the bottom of the page:
- Need more accounts? You can have more accounts for free. Contact support to make this request.
I know that Office 365 doesn't have user limits, but unfortunately it's way, way too expensive for us. I would greatly appreciate it if you could upgrade the domain.
Thanks in advance !
PS: I'm aware that the lounge.cl domain still has the old MX records that point to Google, however I did verify the domain ownership by adding the TXT record to our DNS server. I haven't changed the MX records because I need to create more users before
I can replace Google's servers. I hope that this will be enough to prove that we own the domain.
Hi There,
We are looking into moving away from the extremely expensive solution that we currently have with Google Apps to Microsoft due to its offering being much better than that of Google Apps. We wanted to know if you are able to provide us with 1000+ accounts
on our domain narnarayan.org as we wanted to offer our site visitors the chance to have a email address on our extremely popular domain within our community, please assist.
I would prefer not to use google apps, but I am looking for an email solution as close to what google apps offers for our small non-profit organization. Google apps is free for a 501c3 organization. Does Microsoft or a Microsoft partner provide a similar
offering?
I seem to encounter a bug in Outlook.com after adding Google Contacts
1- Several years ago I bought a domain (say, family.com), went with Google Apps and created accounts for members of my family.
2 - I moved to Outlook.com and connected my Google Apps account (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) in order to be able to chat with my family members from there.
3- I created a Microsoft account out of my wife's Google App email address for her Windows 8 session. Therefore the email "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" became a Microsoft account.
4- Of course, she's in my address book (People) and I talk to her on Skype/Messenger using this same email address (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)
=> However, now this same email address cannot seem to be recognized as a Google account by Microsoft and she never appears online. In the People section, it actually does not even state that she is offline and I have no instant messenging option listed.
Moreover, when going to the Messegning History folder, I can actually see some messages she sent me (no notifications) under a weird name like *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
i would tend to think that Microsoft is therefore giving priority to Microsoft accounts made out of Google Apps email address. I may be wrong but that's what I am observing
I should add :
- I can perfectly see in Outlook.com other members of my family who are online using their own Google Apps account.
- She is listed in my Google addresse book and so I am in hers on Google Apps.
- After adding Google Contacts to Outlook.com, the People hub automatically links her Google profile to her Microsoft account in the same contact.card. Unlinking the two does not solve the problem.
Any ideas ?

This is my third attempt and making the MX record for tacummings.com - I have other domains using outlook.com but this domain I cannot seem to make work. I have verified both times before via nslookup that the MX record is the one that the Windows Live
Admin console is asking for. Both times I waited several hours and had to revert back to google apps which they are currently using daily.
I decided to try over the weekend and its been hours and still the wizard says "It may take a few minutes to complete the changes to your service. Please check back later."
I will have to revert back to google apps today if it is not resolved. Added the issue to a previous ticket I had open in the community but decided to open a brand new ticket as noone has responded to it and its been a couple hours.
Any help is much appreciated. I have left it with the required mx record from windows live admin for review for the time being.
My domain's mail is handled by Outlook.com. I did this for the Exchange ActiveSync that Google Apps recently dropped.
I'm having an issue with Outlook for Mac 2011. I need to get my emails as soon as they come in, and it's hard to do that with only POP3 access on my desktop/laptop. Sure I get my emails on my phone fine and dandy, but when I'm at my desk I don't want to
have to grab my phone each time a new email comes in.
When I had Google Apps, I had IMAP, which was suitable. Outlook.com's POP3 won't let me check more than a couple of times in a 15 minute window.
Is there anyway around this, or am I screwed with Outlook for Mac?
And, I only use Mac so the Office Connector is of no use to me. :(
Thanks!
Hi,
I am a web developer who create websites, manage email accounts for clients. I have been using Google apps for Business in managing email accounts for all the time. Recently, I tried with Live custom domain to see if it's a good alternative as compare to Google. However after try out, it seems there is lots of limitation with Live mail. Beside create, suspend and delete email accounts, there is nothing much we can do as compare to Google. Worst still, basic thing like reset password functionality is not even available by default. Please enable the setting for me. Thanks.
For the past several days, when I try to log in to any Google services with my Microsoft Account, I get the following error dialog:
I have cleared the cache and attempted this from the following browsers:

Currently, my company uses Google Apps for e-mail. I want to migrate us to Microsoft services via domains.live.com. Unfortunately, we used SkyDrive in the past and have two accounts (*** Email address is removed for privacy *** and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***) set up already as live accounts. When I set up our domain (company.com) via domains.live.com will I be able to create these users since they exist as already established live accounts?
Thanks.
