Month: July 2014

In the last day or so I was getting frustrated with Gmail “labels” so I thought lets try Outlook.com as my main email. I have Outlook 2013 and I like the way it looks and works , so I set Outlook.com to import all the info from Gmail. Wow that was easy to do, all the folders and saved mail came in with no problems at all. I set up a forward in Gmail and I should be done.

Go to set up my Apple mail program for Outlook.com : Not supported ( that’s ok works on the phone )

Go to set up Outlook in the Windows 8 PC : Worked for about a week on a fresh install of Windows 8,after a re install of Office 2013 it will get mail but no calender or contacts.

Go to set up Outlook on the Windows 7 PC : Works fine.

Go to set up the Outlook app for the Nexus 7: Worked when I rarely used it but opening and closing it often cased it to fail even on a simple “reply” email and the interface is just horrible.

Microsoft if you want to be a “services” company how about you make something that works “everywhere”  sorry to say like Google. I did all the diagnostics and I am not re-installing Windows 8 again.

Thanks going back to Gmail “services“
