Email problem

[CRAZY K]

Outlook is not even picking up the test emails. When I do "Test Account Settings" is says "All tests completed" successfully. They're in my webmail but don't appear in outlook 2007.

I had the same problem--makes no sense does it?

Gave up and now only use Yahoo or Google boxes.

I know you can back up Outlook ( Marc J tells me) but after I lost a hard drive complete with Outlook I decided to rely on cyberspace, but I do back up Yahoo with Google as I couldnt access some Yahoo emails for a month or so

I personally think that [email protected] gives a more professional image than [email protected] or [email protected].

While you can forward your [email protected] email to a gmail or yahoo account for incoming mail, when replying to it the recipient will see that it's from yahoo / gmail.

Of course you could always sign up to something like Google Apps which would allow you to use gmail for your domain email. Or there's IMAP (which most hosts will support) which keeps all your emails (in and out) on the server, the downside to this is that it can eat up your allocated disk space on your hosting account.

Like Crazy said, you can backup your Outlook / Outlook Express fairly easily and this is what I do, I just had a look and the earliest email on my system is from 1999, with a total disk space used of 3.5Gb

You can set up Yahoo webmail to send as if from [email protected] then the recipient wouldn't know unless they look in the headers.

We should have a contest, who has the oldest archived email, I can go back to 1997,

I might have an old hard drive in storage somewhere that might have emails going back further...but even if I did there's no incentive to look for it - unless there's a prize

Fair enough, but unless you've got every gig you ever quoted for, or have an alternative reason from every non-client for not going with you, you can't say with 100% certainty that replying to their enquiry using a yahoo / gmail account hasn't cost you bookings, though

It's just my personal opinion. I personally wouldn't deal with anyone working from a hotmail / yahoo / gmail address, the same as I wouldn't deal with anyone who only used a PO Box address, or only gave a moblie phone number...all for the same reason basically.
