Windows Live Mail FAQ

cannot access old list of contacts via hotmail, also will not let me attach documents to email

26. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: address book, contact list, hotmail, Outlook account
since you switched my hotmail account to an Outlook account (i think in august)
i have not been able to do the following:

access any of my 10+ years of accumulated contacts in address book.  my contact list is now empty
even when i click to "add email to contact list" the system does not do it
I can not attach documents to any of my emails sent via any one of my three hotmail accounts.  i get a drop down message that says "We're still setting this up"

This is causing huge issues for me!  dont know why you fiddled with hotmail.  it was fine the way it was.

Where is my country in verification option?

Hi Moderator,

I have a problem. One of my email account in outlook show notification " Please verify your account. We've noticed some unusual activity in your Outlook account. To help protect you, we've temporarily blocked your account."
I don't know why this could happened.

Then i choose to click Verify button, and let me write my phone number and ....  there is no "Indonesia" in country options. How can i do verification when my country is not in the list?

Old emails displaying incorrectly

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: email client, IMAP, Outlook account
After recently switching to IMAP settings on my Outlook account, I have noticed there is a number of old emails in my Sent folder which aren't displaying correctly, both on Outlook.com and from my email client. I've searched the Outlook Community forums and found another user who has experienced the same issue in the past, but there was no solution provided publicly.

Their forum topic can be found here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-email/old-hotmail-sent-items-not-showing-correctly/732c3190-a39c-4684-aab4-f0bdd47a7e05

When I view the emails on Outlook.com I am able to see the message and contact fields as well as the date the emails were sent. However, the message headers seem to be missing from the folder view message list. I have provided a screenshot below:


However, the same emails are completely blank when viewed from my email client and I am unable to see the message or the contact fields. The date and time fields have been changed to the current date & time of the IMAP account's creation on my email client.

To save some time in finding the solution, the problem occurs on numerous computers/clients and the internet history and cache are clear. This problem appears to be occurring server side and is not an issue with downloading the emails locally. I would be grateful if this support ticket could be escalated to a support specialist as per the other user who experienced this same issue previously.

Thank you

Query regarding attachments while importing Gmail into Outlook

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: attachments, Gmail, Outlook, Outlook account

I've decided to close my Gmail account, and for that purpose I've added my account into Outlook as a Send/Receive account so that I get a backup of all my emails in Outlook. There are thousands of emails, and it will take some time to complete. I was browsing the imported emails in Outlook and noticed a lot of documents and images. I want to have an archive of these documents, and not lose them with closing my account. I wanted to know whether those attachments will also be preserved into my Outlook account or does Outlook fetch them as and when required?


Also, another (unrelated) query. Is there any limit on the total inbox size of Outlook? As far as I know, there isn't one.


Thanks!

Outlook Account Spamming

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Outlook account, Outlook Account Spamming
Hi,
I am the long time owner of a Hotmail (then outlook) account. I noticed the other day that my emails had been sending mail that I didn't order or type what so ever. Upon looking closer it was sending messages to what appears to be all my contacts. The message said something along the lines 'hey [name] Losing weight has been made easy http://womenshealth.com-garciniacambogia.net/october'. I have never in my life been to or been related with this site or company, and have never given my account information to anyone. I am afraid that my outlook account has been somehow compromised. I have immediately changed my password in case that is the problem. I don't believe that Microsoft have the rights to use an account to send spam like that, and if they did I would be very surprised. Already I have had several complaints from people about being sent spam, including officials I know like Uni lecturers and several companies I have sent/been in contact with in the past. Is this a potential account compromise or something else? I have never had email/account problems with Microsoft before so if this is a somewhat uninformed question, sorry.

I was looking for a direct link to support via a ticket or something similar, and for the life of me couldn't find it (no other options were appropriate), if there is something of the type please, a link would be great. 
Thanks for all the help

Can’t receive and send mail from outlook..Lost my many important mails

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Mails, Outlook account
Its was fine using outlook till 23rd OCTOBER 2013. After that everything broke up.

I am unable to receive mails sent to my outlook ID because of which I lost many important mails.  To confirm the issue , I sent mail from gmail account to outlook ID and it didnt reach my outlook account.

Then I tried sending a mail to gmail from outlook. The status showed as mess sent but when checked in gmail I could not see the mail in gmail.

Still the issue is going on and unable to receive or send mails. This  has caused the losing around 50 imp mails.

I hope Microsoft will look into the bug or issue and try fixing it. If Possible, can microsoft will get the lost mails from 23rd october 2013 which were sent to my outlook account.
