Thanks for your response. Firstly apologies for the delay but I didn't receive a notification.
OK. I understand your point about contacts. My confusion stems from the fact that all other mail apps I have used (and there have been a few) have set up what I think is now called a Corporate or...
I have a little problem setting up Outlook Android to use my outlook.com account or maybe it's just my lack of understanding. Briefly,
Now, when I initially set up Outlook in android it does not create an Exchange or Corporate account when pointed at my outlook.com address. It creates an...
Final Update . A short while after, the categories started appearing in the mail navigation pane. So I can now enjoy the 'rich new functionality' on Outlook.com. As Diane implies above it is all very meagre. What I expected and wanted was that categories would flow down to other clients. I did...
Update. I have found the registry key. When I update it, it shows the new value for a minute or two and then reverts to the hex value. Both after restarting and rebooting
Sorry to have to come back to this subject.
Over the last 5 days I have spent about 8 hours trying to set up 'automatically' the MS Exchange account. I finally succeeded a short while ago. I got there by changing aliases from the ones that I had previously set up. Everything seems to be ok...
I am not sure the categories will help, I'm afraid. The client list is what I want to use (infact what I used to use) but for the contacts I have not reapplied them, other than a test group, since I lost them a few years ago. The contacts categories on the server are from an attempt a couple of...
Thank you Diane. I had forgotten your instructions to recreate the accounts!
So I did recreate them but still no joy. Some changed data eg name is reflected on .com but absolutely no category information. I take your point about it not being maintainable on .com. I remain bemused.
Yesterday on...
I was migrated about a month ago. The feature I was most looking forward to was contact categories. Having had a chance to dig around I find that categories in the outlook client are still not updated in Outlook.com. And further the edit screen on outlook.com shows no edit field for group, list...
I am using Office 365 Home and Win10.
I have been happily using aliases for years but in the fallout from a difficult Win 10 project I have got into a bit of a muddle. I have a primary account (imap) A and two alias accounts Y & Z both of which are set to logon to A. Initially I set up Y & Z...
Diane, thank you again.
I did move to Office 365 but I will take regular backups for a while yet! I quickly 'bumped into' -
the unable to change eas folders problem
the no categories in eas contacts problem
the no contact groups problem
My first response was that eas is a crock of worms and has...
Diane, many thanks for your response.
As I recall most of any manipulation was done in Outlook but it was 6 months ago and my archive was entirely stable until mid November.
You seem to be saying that Office 365 is a much stronger/more reliable platform which is a relief. Would you advise a...
I saw an old thread recently where Diane Poremski suggested that it wasn't necessary to keep backups of outlook.com items. I recently lost more than 1000 items from outlook.com -though I did have them on my own backup!
I tried to discuss this with both MS Support and MS Community but neither...
