Microsoft Office Outlook Live (MOOL) - Will it meet my needs?

D

Dizzy

Microsoft Office Outlook Live has begun advertising this service and I am
interested, but cannot find out enough details to know if it will actually
meet my needs.

I have 2 laptops and 2 desktops and I would like an easy way to keep all 4
in sync with respect to Outlook 2003 - mail, contacts and calendar. If MOOL
is not the solution, do you all know of any other solution that would work?
My mail is all from different ISP's and our company does not have its own
dedicated mail server.

TIA.

MOOL will work if you set it as the default pst. Note that it will increase
your bandwidth as you need to download pop3 and upload it to the hotmail
account.

Thanks.

Do you know how I can set the new MSN account contacts and calendar as the
default in Outlook?

Yes, as decribed above, make it your default store. It's a compromise but I
find worth it.

Correct. Set your MSN account data file as the default if you want all of
your mail to and to be able to use Calendar and contacts in outlook or
access them online.
