Email programs

[joodyanne]

I am having difficulty with email programs.   I have successfully run one address on Outlook.com, and hotmail and gmail on Thunderbird.

I would prefer hotmail and gmail on Outlook.com, but can only get an empty folder for hotmail and nothing for gmail.    I am not happy with Thunderbird, I can't get my addresses over, but don't like it enough to stay on it.

I was using Windows Live mail for a long time, then had a few issues.

I am using Windows 7.    How can I get my emails and addresses on to hotmail in OUtlook.com - have tried many times unsuccessfully.

I have to admit there is a Sync Issues folder which I've set out below (I can't understand it)

My emails for hotmail are working ok in Thunderbird tho

Wish I could help, I have been using e-mail for years and never got as far into it as you have. Some notes.

Programs that you use only on-line are sometimes called 'web-mail' things. A program on you computer that you can use off-line to review mail received earlier is called an email client. Thunderbird is a popular e-mail client.

Hotmail can be used either way. You can go on line or use a local client. Most services allow you to do it either way.

AOL was one of the early services that let you use IMAP mail.

The Differences between POP and IMAP. IMAP allows users to store their email on remote servers. This two-way protocol also allows the user to synchronize their email among multiple devices, which is extremely important today, when most people have at least two devices - their laptop and smartphone.

Be aware that some e-mail clients can not send mail because of restraints imposed by your ISP. Example, using AT&T you can only send out mail if using only an  AT&T address as the sender. Real bummer! Makes it near impossible to replay to an e-mail unless it was sent to my AT&T box.

I use Thunderbird for most of my email.  I use g-mail only on-line and it is a mess because it does not sync with my portable devices.

I know I can get gmail and hotmail on the web, but I guess I am fussy - I don't like the setup.    Thunderbird was OK, but I could not import my addresses over, and have to manually do it from Outlook.com everytime I write to some one for the first time.    At least my hotmail addresses and emails are all there in Outlook - I dare not remove it till I sort something out with Outlook.com

I haven't had any problems sending from Outlook.com though (from my original address, which is neither gmail or hotmail)l- I really just want one program, instead of having to open up two just to get mail.

I think I just make too much work for myself    lol

I would happily go back to Windows Live Mail, but I don't think that is operational any more.

I have  not tried this....

To export contact information from Microsoft Outlook to your participant headquarters address book, perform these steps:

    Open Microsoft Outlook.
    Select File > Open > Import and Export. ...
    Select Export to a File and click Next. ...
    Select Comma Separated Values (Windows) and click Next.
    Select Contacts and click Next.

CSV, comma separated values, can be read by many other kinds of software, including a spreadsheet.

Actually, I have tried that, but when it got to the spreadsheet, I was stuck - I didn't know what relation that was to my address book - didn't know how to move it.

Windows Live Mail is still available for Windows 7.  It is part of the Windows Essentials package.  If I recall correctly, you can choose which of the components of Windows Essentials you want actually install once you download Windows Essentials and start the installation.
