Outlook 2007, Windows LiveMail and international travel

[Ms Q-reeus]

Greetings

Please help! I am so confused.


I would like help and advice regarding how to configure Office Outlook 2007
with Business Contact Manager and to use it effectively - and hopefully
easily.

I list my queries for clarity and ease of understanding and so that I can
follow the advice given for each point - I really do not have a clue about
Outlook 2007!

I need Outlook 2007 to be able to use Samsung PC Studio 3 to be able to sync
my laptop and mobile phone.


1 I downloaded Office Professional 2007 which should include Office
Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, but it is showing on my Start
Menu as only Office Outlook 2007. Is this a fault or will the Business
Contact Manager be present once I configure?

2 My current ISP Caribsurf, offers an email account. Do I have to use
this for configuration or can I use my Windows LiveMail account details?

3 If I have to use the ISP email account, can I change it and make
Windows Live Mail my default email programme?

4 If Outlook has to be my default account, can I export addresses, emails
etc to my other email accounts?

5 I read that secureserver.net can be used for configuration and as I
will be travelling extensively - Africa, West Indies, Europe and America - is
this setting suitable for my requirements?

6 Are there any settings that I can use on configuration that can remain
unchanged when I am travelling?

7 I have unpaid Yahoo and Hotmail accounts - is there anyway to sync them
all?

8 Will wireless connection impact on Outlook's performance?

9 Do I need any other additional programmes to enable Outlook to meet my
needs?


I realise that I have asked a lot of questions, some of which may
interconnect, as I said I have no clue about Outlook!

Did you install BCM? It's an optional install.

2 My current ISP Caribsurf, offers an email account. Do I have to use
this for configuration or can I use my Windows LiveMail account details?

Use them both, if you wish.

3 If I have to use the ISP email account, can I change it and make
Windows Live Mail my default email programme?

If you wish.

4 If Outlook has to be my default account, can I export addresses, emails
etc to my other email accounts?

Outlook cannot _be_ a "default account". It is a mail client, not an account.
You can specify any of your configured accounts in Outlook as the default
account. This will be the account whose address gets used on a new mail
message if you don't specifically choose a sending account. Outlook will
always reply to a message using the account which receives the original
message.

5 I read that secureserver.net can be used for configuration and as I
will be travelling extensively - Africa, West Indies, Europe and America -
is
this setting suitable for my requirements?

Only you can say whether or not it's suitable for your needs. Google Mail is
a choice used by many. I'm not familiar with the SecureServer features.
Trying to link to secureserver.net, for me, produces "This sight is not
currently available."

6 Are there any settings that I can use on configuration that can remain
unchanged when I am travelling?

Most. It depends on what you're trying to do, though.

7 I have unpaid Yahoo and Hotmail accounts - is there anyway to sync them
all?

The Hotmail accounts, probably. The unpaid Yahoo accounts, not without Ypops
(http://ypopsemail.com/)

8 Will wireless connection impact on Outlook's performance?

Outlook doesn't know or care how you have connected. Performance of your
network connection will bepend on the network infrastructure.

9 Do I need any other additional programmes to enable Outlook to meet my
needs?

Depends on whether or not you've stated them all.
