Help! I have inadvertently overwritten my outlook account and lost everything

01. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, Outlook account
Very much hoping someone can help. And please bear in mind that I am not at all technical.

I use hotmail on my macbook pro through outlook care of microsoft office for mac 2011.

I was having problems with search functionality in outlook and, following advice on a forum I found, I deleted com.microsoft.outlook files from preferences in library.

I restarted my machine. Outlook was totally empty. I closed it down again and saw that outlook was in my trash. I dragged it back in to applications.

Then restarted and everything was gone.

I have a very important court case coming up and all my evidence is on email.

I am absolutely distraught about what has happened and desperately hope that there is some way of retrieving the information.

To make matters worse, my external hard drive (with time machine on it) has packed up. I'm sending it to Seagate to try and recover data but there's no guarantee that they will be able to get anything.

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Lost pages from inbox folder

01. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: inbox folder, Outlook account
I am currently having a problem where I cannot access any subsequent page after page 1 in the inbox folder of my outlook account. Last week I had 4 pages worth of emails in my inbox folder, whereas now (without deleting any emails) I only have one page worth of emails in my inbox folder. Furthermore, every time I receive a new email, the oldest email on page 1 is lost (presumably to page 2, which no longer exists). I then tried deleting emails from page one of the inbox, and no emails from page 2 ascended to fill the empty space. No other folder in my outlook account was affected. The only other information I have is that I changed from using safari to firefox last week, but I'm not sure if that is coincidence or whether it is actually related to my current problem.

SUMMARY
 I only have page 1 of my inbox, page 2,3 etc does not exist. Every time I receive a new email, the oldest email in page 1 is lost (if page 1 is full)

How do I fix this problem?

Thank you for any help you can provide!

How can I change the name associated with an individual Alias? (Not for my whole account)

01. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Outlook account, Ryan Lockart

Can you please advise how I can change the 'name' associated with my various Outlook Aliases.

 

Whenever I change to an Alias, it still sends from the default full name on my account.

 

This defeats the purpose of an alias!

 

a·li·as   /ˈālēəs/

Adverb: Used to indicate that a named person is also known or more familiar under another specified name.     

Noun: A false or assumed identity. 

 

If I wanted all of my emails to come from my name, Ryan Lockart, I'd send them from my main Outlook account.

I tried changing the name on an Alias, but it changes the name on my whole account.

 

As a freelance journalist, I write stories and opinion pieces sent to various publications under, literally, different aliases or names.

 

How can I get my individual Outlook Aliases to reflect the names I or aliases I'm using?

Child Permission Wizard

31. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: child permission, Outlook account, technical problems
Hello

 

I have a very serious problem with my account.

 

My outlook account *** Email address is removed for privacy *** is experiencing technical problems.

 

The problem is this:

Every time I log into the account I am constantly confronted with the Child Permission Wizard.

 

Now I cannot do the verification via Adult simply because I don't have a credit card in the USA.

 

I think this a problem I have because I entered the wrong age on my account by accident.

 

But I can't access my account simply because the Child Permission Wizard is interfering and stopping me.

 

I need help to fix this.

Outlook: How to transfer folders w/emails from one outlook account to another outlook account

31. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: business account, Outlook account, personal account
I have 2 outlook accounts--one for business and one for me personally, each with their own folders to categorize the emails.  Now that account linking is gone, it's a real pain.

Anyone know how to transfer all of my folders w/emails to my "main account" (personal account).  I am now forced to have a main (personal) account that forwards my formerly linked account (business account).  Trouble is, when I do that, I no longer have my folders and historical emails from the business account.

Why account linking in Outlook was discontinued is a mystery to me.  It makes things much harder now.  I'm seriously looking into switching to gmail because with that you can at least have both accounts open at the same time.  Any help at all is appreciated.  There must be some way to transfer contacts, folders and emails from one account to another.

Hotmail not logging in on my samsung s3 anymore

27. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: hotmail, Outlook account
Hello, My email address is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

I was adding an email address to my outlook account (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) so that I can send emails from that address. I think there were some security issues or something, because when I try to log into my hotmail account with my cell phone (galaxy s3) it doesn't work.

I have no problem using hotmail on the web my tablet - it is just a problem with my Galaxy S3


The error is "*** Email address is removed for privacy *** sign-in failed"

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you
