Overview:
My school's Alumni Association has recently migrated the Alumni E-mail from Live@edu to Office365
Observations:
- SkyDrive is no longer supported, so to access it, I must go to https://skydrive.live.com/, but from SkyDrive, I cannot go to outlook.com from the dropdown. I understand that now I have a personal account (skydrive) and an office365 account (email, calendar, etc)
- In order to access email, I AM ABLE to log on through outlook.com/alumni.lsu.edu, and sync email and calendar with my phone and laptop
Problems:
- I now have two (duplicate) @edu addresses associated with Windows 8. Personal @edu (used to setup Windows 8) and Office365. In order to receive email, I had to add the office365 @edu email address to windows 8 as an exchange account. This wouldn't normally be a problem but now I have TWO redundant @edu (personal and office365).
- The problem is that both calendars sync with the corresponding account, but I only can get email through the office365 account. Do I need to have both accounts sync'd with Windows 8 in order to use SkyDrive AND Email from the same @edu address? It seems I can disable notifications from the personal account, and use the office365 account with Windows 8 for email and calendar.
- Is my only option to use my personal account for skydrive, and my office365 account for email and calendar?
- My personal account shows Facebook birthday calendars, etc, where as I do not see this option with the office365 account? How do I use only one account for email and calendar?
