"Over 60 million people actively using Outlook.com" - Yes, because you upgraded our Hotmail to Outlook without our permission! You forced people to use something they don't know / they hate! I pay for my internet service, and I can't use the program I like? I feel like you broke into my house and stole something! "A great upgrade for people using Hotmail". I would call something an upgrade which is actually a downgrade.. Light grey text on a white background? It's very HARD to see the text, it's awful! And because there is no yellow envelope to show the new messages, it's almost impossible to see if I got a new message, even if it has a little bit different color! And where is the animated colorful background?

We want our Hotmail back! I've been using it for many many years and I loved it so much! My mother is 75 years old, and she has problems to use to this Outlook and it's terrible outlook! And if that isn't enough, you will take the Messenger also from us, which we used for more than 10 years! I love WLM Messenger, and I hate Skype!

I have no words to express what I feel, I am really very very angry and disappointed. :(

WHY YOU DID THAT? WHY????

This is all very well and good but what if i don't want to link my social networking to my email? I've spent the last hour or so searching for a way to do it and there's no clear cut solution. It's getting to the time of year where i'm applying for summer jobs. Having a facebook profile in my email to said perspective employer destroys any chance at a good first impression. Please remedy this QUICKLY! Ideally a bomb proof step by step guide to changing permissions on all the websites concerned with pictures to guide us on how to do it. Microsoft has really dropped the ball here. Fix it now!

David,

Any word on when the Calendar will be upgraded from the old Windows Live UI? Also, I'd love to access my Outlook.com as an Exchange account on Mac OS X mail.app. I'm even willing to pay for a premium account. Outlook.com tops Gmail (long in the tooth) and iCloud (too slow via browser.)

Great job, but we need some tweaking to make it perfect!

Hello,

On February 23, I received an email from Outlook Team (member_services@live.com. Offering me to transfer immediately to

hotmail service to outlook.com. It offered to make the change by clicking a blue button. which was done. A new page

appeared and it contained all my emails.

However, this page has no header. No actions can be taken in short I can only receive emails and put them in the trash. I

feel like I'm not the new account in outlook.

I do not have access to my hotmail calendar which is really annoying. Trying to download to outlook.com site, sometimes my

new outlook appears but for a few seconds then return to this email list.

Could you explain to me what is happening? because I really would not want to lose my email list as well as my hotmail

calendar.

thank you,

Marc

I have just switched my accounts to outlook . I have an msn.com account and a hotmail.com account. Since switching accounts to outlook i cannot access both accounts from 1 computer. When i try to link the accounts i am told one or the other is not a good account. Both accounts can be accessed only on the computer i set them up on. Does anyone know how to link them so i can use both accounts from any location? Thanks

The "Archive" menu feature on Outlook.com only appears when I've checked a message (viewing in list mode) or when I've clicked on a message to view the details.

By mistake several times, I've meant to hit Delete and instead hit Archive. I have not seen a "Setup message archiving" screen that was referenced in another "how to" article I read. So I have no idea where the message I've archived have disappeared to nor how I can get them back in my Inbox. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If it matters, I'm using IE v8.

@Sofia - we are aware of a login issue affecting a very small number of customers attempting to access Outlook.com via the URL http://outlook.com. We’re working quickly to address this issue, but in the meantime you can access your Outlook.com inbox via http://mail.live.com. When logging in via http://mail.live.com, you will see a Hotmail logo, but after logging in you will be taken directly to your Outlook.com inbox. Mobile, POP3, and other entry points are not affected. Thanks!

@Graeme_w - you can access Outlook.com via a variety of clients (Outlook desktop app, Win8 Mail, etc.) or devices (Android, iOS, Windows Phone). but you can always go to http://outlook.com via any modern browser, including latest versions of IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, and access your inbox.
