If you have problems setting up your mail program, please contact

Hello, site readers!

I already wrote once that I prefer to use Windows Live services for email correspondence and working with documents and files. In my humble opinion, this cloud service is the best of everything currently offered on the market.
Read this and you will understand that its possibilities are really very extensive. And most importantly, they are free :-)

So this is what I wanted to tell and show today. Yesterday I went into my mail settings in this service and saw a new menu item:

Without thinking twice, I clicked and... ended up in a completely new version of Windows Live mailer called Outlook.com

But first, a cheerful suggestion popped up to try the new mail:

I, of course, agreed (we’ll go back later, if anything)

Outlook.Com interface and settings

Absolutely new and very ascetic appearance. This is what immediately catches your eye. It is clear that it is intended not only for ordinary computers, but also for tablets and smartphones.

It's called Metro-Style
Everything loads very quickly. But there were some troubles - read below. It is clear that the shortcomings will soon be eliminated, but still. Maybe we were in a hurry?

Friends, I specifically created a new mailbox for screenshots for this article. I won’t show you my real account, of course :-)

If you don’t like the default color, you can set your own color scheme in the interface settings.

I love orange color.

By clicking the “Other mail settings” menu item, you will see a standard set of settings as for many other similar mail services. (eg gmail.com)

Nothing special, except for one point. It's called “Creating an alias for OUTLOOK”

I really, really liked this setting. It allows you to create multiple email addresses within one Windows Live account (however, it was also in the old live.ru interface)

Click on the line “Creating an alias for Outlook”

They ask you to enter a password - enter it!

It was immediately suggested to create a folder for this mailbox (convenient, but I chose to land these letters in the “Inbox”)

It's really very convenient. You can use one mailbox name for personal purposes, and another name, for example, for communicating with clients.

When you write a letter, you just need to choose the desired pseudonym and don’t bother with a bunch of accounts on different services.

Integration with social media networks

Naturally, MicroSoft is integrating its email with popular social networks with all the might of hell.

For example, if you follow the path: Profile Name – Edit Profile(see below),

then you can quickly connect to well-known social networks. But Russian social networks are not there yet, unfortunately.

Friends, there are many settings there and they are all intuitive. I will not write a huge manual on this topic, because it is unrealistic and pointless. I can only say one thing - the new email service from Microsoft is very flexible.

And there are just a lot of opportunities there. For example, 7 GB for storing files in the SkyDrive service. Works very correctly with my tablet and Android smartphone.

Well, okay, we persuaded you :-) I’ll show you a couple more screenshots :-)

If you click on this inconspicuous icon, which is highlighted in a red circle, you will see a quick access panel to:

— Access to the calendar

— Access to SkyDrive is my favorite feature in Windows Liv. Very convenient and strongly recommend.

Let me go over these points very briefly:

Calendar

A very convenient calendar, not overloaded with unnecessary functions. It even shows the weather :-) Just don’t forget to indicate your city first.

You can set up event reminders by email and recurring events. For example, renewing a domain for 100 years in advance :-)

People

Everything is clear here - we communicate with friends. Directly from here you can connect to your other accounts.

SkyDrive

Again, my favorite feature in WL.

Very convenient to store files. Please note that you can create documents here.

By the way, I often use this opportunity. The fact is that when I create, for example, an Excel table here, I am sure that it will open on a regular computer without distortion. I had problems with Google Docs a couple of times and eventually I gave up on it. (From Google)

— MS Word – text documents

— MS Excel — tables

— MS Power Point – presentations. As soon as I remember how many presentations I drew, being a marketer, I don’t come here :-)

— MS OneNote – notes (can be synchronized with the desktop version of OneNote)

What else is good?

And a lot of things! After all, here I am reviewing the web version. And there are also Windows Live applications for a regular computer. And there are already available:

- parental control function

— Working with video

— Working with photos

— Free antivirus

In short, you get a whole set of programs and services for everyday work.

What are the disadvantages of Outlook.Com?

- This is still a beta version. She glitches. For example, a couple of times my navigation buttons disappeared and I had to log in from the browser address bar.

— Let's face it, the settings are very, very cleverly hidden. That is, you can set it up without problems, but you won’t find them right away.

— Periodically throws it into the old Hotmail interface

— Sometimes you can get lost and it’s not always clear how to return to the main page of the service.

— Problems with Opera. Obviously, not everything will work correctly in all browsers. Everything works fine in Internet Explorer.

I didn't like it! How to return back to the previous Hotmail interface?

To be honest, I played around a little and... returned to the old version. I am working in it “blindly”, and am not yet ready to tolerate the shortcomings listed above.

When they finish it, I’ll move on completely. If you remember how the first version of this service was launched (2008?), it took almost two years to perfect it.

Here's how to switch back - just select "Switch to Hotmail":

What's next?

- They promise to eliminate all the shortcomings

— They will add the ability to call on Skype. Let me remind you that Microsoft bought Skype

— The calendar will be finalized

— Even closer integration with other MS products (Office, XBOX, Windows, WindowsPhone)

— All users will be transferred to the new version. But it won't be soon.

Conclusion:

I liked it!

It is obvious that a GIANT job has been done. But you need to understand that if you expect the same functionality as Outlook from the MS Office office suite, then you will be disappointed. These are completely different products.

A little more jigsaw work and the product will be perfect. Well, in the meantime, in anticipation of eliminating the shortcomings, I’m sitting on old stuff :-)

Let's say thank you to Brian Hall - Lead Product Manager

The most common among them is Outlook.

The mentioned manager became so widespread thanks to the components that are part of the Microsoft Office office suite.

It is an effective and easy to use email account manager. Its use significantly improves the convenience of working with emails.

Using Outlook significantly increases the efficiency of working with email correspondence:

• All mailboxes are viewable and editable in one program;
• Dynamic updating allows you not to miss an important email;
• Sorting by priority and other parameters organizes a large volume of incoming messages;
• The ability to send messages using the program client makes correspondence more efficient;
• Backing up received and sent messages eliminates the consequences of force majeure.

And this is only a small part of the useful features of the program. If you need to effectively manage large volumes of email, then installation is inevitable.

Operating system compatibility

Since 1997, many versions of the program have been released. The following table will help you correctly determine the compatibility of the program version and operating system:

There are also several versions of the program for Mac OS. Versions from 2000 to 2010 in MS Office: mac is replaced by the Entourage program. Outlook was returned to the eleventh version of Office for Mac OS.

Setting up the Outlook Express email client

Advice: If the program is already installed and you need to add another mailbox, then the steps are as follows: go to the “File” menu, in the upper left corner of the screen, select “Information” in the drop-down menu, then click on “Add account”.

Simply filling out this form is not enough for the service to work properly.

Therefore, you need to check the checkbox next to “Manually configure server parameters or additional server types,” as shown in the illustration above.

The next window offers three options for connecting a new service:

You can correctly connect existing e-mail addresses only using the first “Internet E-mail”.

It is selected by default, so all that remains is to click on the “Next” button.

In the form that opens after this, the main part of attaching the first or additional

Back in 1997, Microsoft launched the free email service MSN Hotmail, which allowed users not only to communicate via messages, but also to access various company services. There is no doubt that “MSN Hotmail” has attracted a huge number of users and within 15 years has become the leader in the number of registered users. How to create an email account in MSN Hotmail?

How to log in to hotmail.com

First, we need to go to the official website of the service, which contains a link Login to mail.

We click on it and a page appears in front of us on which we are asked to enter our information to log into your account.

A logical question arises here - why are we talking about the “MSN Hotmail” service, which includes the domain name @hotmail.com, and Outlook is listed on the page?

The fact is that this email service is a new version of MSN Hotmail, launched by Microsoft in 2013.

It is worth noting that users who have an email address that contains the @hotmail.com domain are automatically moved to the new service, so feel free to enter your data and continue working with mail in Outlook.

For those who do not have an account with Microsoft, and therefore a mailbox in this service, we suggest registering right now, since the whole process takes just a few minutes. So let's begin.

As you have already noticed, the @outlook.com domain is not the only possible option for registration; fortunately, the service is able to support other addresses. So, fill out all the fields, enter the captcha and click on the Create account button.

When entering a password for your account, you should take into account the fact that you need to use not only numbers but also upper and lower case letters of the English alphabet.

In this way, the service minimizes the risk of your account being hacked by third-party users. As you noticed, not all sections can be filled out; for example, I did without a postal code and entering a phone number.

However, it is worth considering that in this case you need to fill in lines for alternative data, such as the address of another mailbox and date of birth. Belonging to a particular country also does not matter.

After we clicked Create an account a window of our mail service appears in front of us.

Now we save in a separate file the login and password for logging into the account, which opens up for us the possibilities of not only the Outlook service, but is also useful for activating some functions of a smartphone and laptop that work with Microsoft applications.
