I received an email, looks like from Microsoft(*** Email address is removed for privacy ***).

It asked me to re-confirm I am still using hotmail. Or my account will be closed. But I doubt it. Because I am using hotmail everyday. Also, I opened the account in US in English. But this email is in Chinese. So I ignore it. Am I right?

I have been using Outlook on Windows since at least 1998 (15 years!!). It's always been an essential productivity tool for my work.   It's is THE app that is always open and it's unique in how it powerfully combines calendar, email, tasks, etc.    I recently moved to Outlook for Mac 2011.  What a HUGE disappointment.  Outlook on Mac is perhaps only 60-70% of what it is on windows.  The spam filter doesnt work (they couldn't confirmed no fix at the Microsoft store) and there are dozens and dozens of very small missing features or very annoying ones (like inability to turn off familiar name display for emails).  Outlook on Mac is now a huge productivity drain.   It is hard to express my huge disappointment in Microsoft, Gates, Balmer and crew.  Does anyone care about loyal (or formerly loyal) Outlook power users??  Microsoft you make it VERY hard to stay a loyal customer.  I can't find any information on the web that suggest this there are upcoming releases in Outlook on Mac to make it better.   Are their?  can anyone tell me why I should continue to use Outlook on Mac?  I can't imagine that Mac Mail is any worse.....

Hotmail was upgraded/changed to outlook.  Windows (Essentials) Live mail will no longer sync with hotmail.  Worked fine before the upgrade.  I find it absolutely ludicrous that a MICROSOFT product, ie., windows essential does not seem to be compatible with other MICROSOFT products, ie. hotmail/outlook.  Gmail works fine.  I already did the "live chat" - no suggestions worked.  They sent me a link to other self help articles but they were OLD articles and did not apply to this problem. HELP!!

Since the merging of my Hotmail account with Outlook plus with Gmail+ and others accounts,  all contact lists in such accounts have now

hundred of repeated contacts.  Duplication of contacts in enormous.  Modification of original groups has been made without a

valid criteria, the one used was that the more contacts we put in one single place the easier for you.  A totally wrong policy that ignore our needs

for interacting with our contacts.  I believe Microsoft or whoever has done this has no right to modify our interacting priorities.

 

From contact lists I had that had not even 200 persons on them, now in my Windows Live Mail contact list I have 620. !!!

 

The question I need you to answer is this.... HOW CAN I DELETE ALL THOSE CONTACT LIST and start all over again by myself without

merging or synchronizing such list.   I want those contact lists to be independent.  Once Microsoft has been unable to do a proper job, we

should be allowed to operate our systems the way we want.

 

Will appreciate receiving the answer by email, once finding answers to questions we post is not an easy job either.!!

My email account that scape to the OUTLOOK TSUNAMI is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

How do I prevent this latest update from forcing me to take on the Skype?  I do NOT want it and have told the program "NO"

until my fingers bleed but it now will not let me back into my messenger or hotmail/outlook.

 

Just when did Microsoft become "Big Brother" and decide they could force us to accept a program we do not want or need??

 

 

I received an email from "Microsoft Accounts team" this morning saying:  "Your Windows Live Email account has exceeded it's limitation and needs to be verified, if not verified within 24 hours we shall suspend your account"

Can you tell me if this is genuine or bogus, please?

Thanks.
I would love to use outlook.com for my iPhone and on my imac as well on my windos 8 laptop. However it seems i'm not able to sync outlook for mac 2011 with outlook.com. Both are products from Microsoft itself and now it seems then can't make them work together?? Anyone can help me out so I can use outlook for mac 2011 with the new outlook.com in a sync fashion. Only mail seems to have some functionality but I can't sync calendar or contacts. So apart from mac software users Microsoft even neglected their own customers who are using their own products. 
The least you may expect is that they give fulle functionality to their own products.
Who can help me out here?
When will Microsoft offer support for Outlook.com users who use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.

Currently they only offer Mail via POP, which is useless in today's world where we are using multiple devices to access email, such as mobile phones and tablets.

When will Microsoft be offering support in Outlook for Mac?
Will Microsoft be launching Office 2013 for Mac?
Will Microsoft add Outlook Connector to Mac users, as Windows users currently have?
Will Microsoft add IMAP or Exchange ActiveSync to Outlook.com?
