Hello, site readers!

I already wrote once that I prefer to use Windows Live services for email correspondence and working with documents and files. In my humble opinion, this cloud service is the best of everything currently offered on the market.
Read this and you will understand that its possibilities are really very extensive. And most importantly, they are free :-)

So this is what I wanted to tell and show today. Yesterday I went into my mail settings in this service and saw a new menu item:

Without thinking twice, I clicked and... ended up in a completely new version of Windows Live mailer called Outlook.com

But first, a cheerful suggestion popped up to try the new mail:

I, of course, agreed (we’ll go back later, if anything happens)

Outlook.Com interface and settings

Absolutely new and very ascetic appearance. This is what immediately catches your eye. It is clear that it is intended not only for ordinary computers, but also for tablets and smartphones.

It's called Metro-Style
Everything loads very quickly. But there were some troubles - read below. It is clear that the shortcomings will soon be eliminated, but still. Maybe we were in a hurry?

Friends, I specifically created a new mailbox for screenshots for this article. I won’t show you my real account, of course :-)

If you don’t like the default color, you can set your own color scheme in the interface settings.

I love orange color.

By clicking the “Other mail settings” menu item, you will see a standard set of settings as for many other similar mail services. (eg gmail.com)

Nothing special, except for one point. It's called “Creating an alias for OUTLOOK”

I really, really liked this setting. It allows you to create multiple email addresses within one Windows Live account (however, it was also in the old live.ru interface)

Click on the line “Creating an alias for Outlook”

They ask you to enter a password - enter it!

It was immediately suggested to create a folder for this mailbox (convenient, but I chose to land these letters in the “Inbox”)

It's really very convenient. You can use one mailbox name for personal purposes, and another name, for example, for communicating with clients.

When you write a letter, you just need to choose the desired pseudonym and don’t bother with a bunch of accounts on different services.

Integration with social media networks

Naturally, MicroSoft is integrating its email with popular social networks with all the might of hell.

For example, if you follow the path: Profile Name – Edit Profile(see below),

then you can quickly connect to well-known social networks. But Russian social networks are not there yet, unfortunately.

Friends, there are many settings there and they are all intuitive. I will not write a huge manual on this topic, because it is unrealistic and pointless. I can only say one thing - the new email service from Microsoft is very flexible.

And there are just a lot of opportunities there. For example, 7 GB for storing files in the SkyDrive service. Works very correctly with my tablet and Android smartphone.

Well, okay, we persuaded you :-) I’ll show you a couple more screenshots :-)

If you click on this inconspicuous icon, which is highlighted in a red circle, you will see a quick access panel to:

— Access to the calendar

— Access to SkyDrive is my favorite feature in Windows Liv. Very convenient and strongly recommend.

Let me go over these points very briefly:

Calendar

A very convenient calendar, not overloaded with unnecessary functions. It even shows the weather :-) Just don’t forget to indicate your city first.

You can set up event reminders by email and recurring events. For example, renewing a domain for 100 years in advance :-)

People

Everything is clear here - we communicate with friends. Directly from here you can connect to your other accounts.

SkyDrive

Again, my favorite feature in WL.

Very convenient to store files. Please note that you can create documents here.

By the way, I often use this opportunity. The fact is that when I create, for example, an Excel table here, I am sure that it will open on a regular computer without distortion. I had problems with Google Docs a couple of times and eventually I gave up on it. (From Google)

— MS Word – text documents

— MS Excel — tables

— MS Power Point – presentations. As soon as I remember how many presentations I drew, being a marketer, I don’t come here :-)

— MS OneNote – notes (can be synchronized with the desktop version of OneNote)

What else is good?

And a lot of things! After all, here I am reviewing the web version. And there are also Windows Live applications for a regular computer. And there are already available:

- parental control function

— Working with video

— Working with photos

— Free antivirus

In short, you get a whole set of programs and services for everyday work.

What are the disadvantages of Outlook.Com?

- This is still a beta version. She glitches. For example, a couple of times my navigation buttons disappeared and I had to log in from the browser address bar.

— Let's face it, the settings are very, very cleverly hidden. That is, you can set it up without problems, but you won’t find them right away.

— Periodically throws it into the old Hotmail interface

— Sometimes you can get lost and it’s not always clear how to return to the main page of the service.

— Problems with Opera. Obviously, not everything will work correctly in all browsers. Everything works fine in Internet Explorer.

I did not like! How to return back to the previous Hotmail interface?

To be honest, I played around a little and... returned to the old version. I am working in it “blindly”, and am not yet ready to tolerate the shortcomings listed above.

When they finish it, I’ll move on completely. If you remember how the first version of this service was launched (2008?), it took almost two years to perfect it.

Here's how to switch back - just select "Switch to Hotmail":

What will happen next?

- They promise to eliminate all the shortcomings

— They will add the ability to call on Skype. Let me remind you that Microsoft bought Skype

— The calendar will be finalized

— Even closer integration with other MS products (Office, XBOX, Windows, WindowsPhone)

— All users will be transferred to the new version. But it will not be soon.

Conclusion:

I like it!

It is obvious that a GIANT job has been done. But you need to understand that if you expect the same functionality as Outlook from the MS Office office suite, then you will be disappointed. These are completely different products.

A little more jigsaw work and the product will be perfect. Well, in the meantime, in anticipation of eliminating the shortcomings, I’m sitting on old stuff :-)

Let's say thank you to Brian Hall - Lead Product Manager

This is the individual email address and password used to log into Windows. You can use any existing email address or create a new one. (You can use an Outlook, Gmail, or Yahoo! email address for a Microsoft account, for example.)

When you sign in to your computer or other device with a Microsoft account, you can download apps from the Windows Store, back up all your important data and files with free cloud storage, and keep all your favorite things - games, photos, contacts, settings, music, etc. - in an up-to-date and synchronized state.

If several people use one computer, each of them must have their own account. All of these people can log in and personalize the computer with their own background colors, favorite apps, pictures, a dedicated inbox, and more. If you have children, you can also set up your child's account using additional tools to work with or without mail, so that children can only view what they are allowed to view on the computer.

If you use Microsoft services such as Xbox, Hotmail, Outlook.com, OneDrive, Messenger, Skype, or Windows Phone, you already have a Microsoft account—this is the email address you use to login. If you don't remember the email address you use to sign in to these services, no problem - you can create a new and free email address.

Advice: Do you have children? Create a separate account for each of them so that they can surf the Internet without changing your settings or logging into your mail.

To configure the program Microsoft Office Outlook To work with your mailbox, you need to add a new account.

There will be no more Hotmail, it has been replaced by Outlook.com. Thus, today I want to talk about my personal experience of using mail from Microsoft called Outlook.com, which is included in the package of basic Microsoft web services. They also include a calendar and a cloud-based “People” contact book. Now all these services have been rebranded and received a new interface, except for the calendar for now.

There are quite a lot of email reviews on the Internet. Outlook.com, you can read them and get an idea about this post. I want to dwell on the features and some tricks that other email services do not have.

Registration

In order to use any Microsoft products, such as SkyDrive or Outlook.com mail, you need to create Microsoft Account.

If you don't have it yet, you need to go through the registration process- go to the address live.com, and then as in the video:

Peculiarities

I don’t know whether to consider this a plus or a minus, but behind the new, at first glance, design hides the good old Hotmail. This is noticeable both in the main functionality and in the arrangement of elements on the screen. And this is good. I like the convenient panel display mode, when you can see both a list of incoming letters on one side and an open letter on the other. This is called reading mode, which can be turned on by clicking on the settings cog, top right, and then selecting the reading area. For maximum convenience, you can expand the browser window to full screen.

Another convenient feature is the automatic sorting of letters, depending on their type. I said it in a confusing way, but I’ll explain now. In the leftmost panel there is a “Selections” menu, which allows you to sort letters received from social media. networks, documents, contacts and other sources. You can create your own rules, but the preset ones are also quite convenient:

It also happens that in a stream of letters you need allocate temporarily one or more pieces so as not to forget about them. This can be done using the checkboxes that appear next to each letter. Clicking this item causes the email to appear at the top of your inbox until you uncheck the box. A very convenient feature, I have not seen this anywhere else.

The latest feature of Outlook.com mail is the ability to create virtual mailboxes. Imagine that you are too lazy to deal with different filters and categories for different mailings, where they ask for your e-mail, and then send “useful” tips and secrets to it. For such needs, you can create a special box, for example “ [email protected]", and write it wherever you are asked for your e-mail. Also, sometimes it will be useful to create a separate box for contacts with colleagues, and another one for registration on different sites. This feature is called "Aliases". See how this (+checking boxes) is done in Outlook.com:

I think you will find a use for the flags, I found them useful. As you can see, my aliases are no longer added due to exceeding the adding limit. Until now, I didn’t know about this and added these pseudonyms as much as I wanted. But you will be fine. Another little thing is the ability to change the color scheme. There are 12 colors to choose from, you can select by clicking on the gear at the top right.
