Outlook 2013 Outlook.com Problems

[shovenose]

I for the first time finally decided just to use a desktop email client not just Outlook.com (Hotmail) web interface, since as soon as I go to the website I'm logged in on Skype and I don't like that.

However now it's not working well. It downloaded all 37,588 emails from my Hotmail but now new ones don't show properly. It also takes like five minutes for it to sync new emails.

I am using Microsoft Office Outlook 2013. I do not like Thunderbird.

If you look at the screenshot you will see what I mean. Thanks!

I stay far away from any email I have to download (pop) unless it goes to a specific machine and can be protected from the rest of the network. Web Based Email is bad enough.

M$ sucks. period. it breaks to easy (windows), its put together very shitty with shity parts (Xbox), they build software to purposely break (UEFI, but apple pioneered in that.), some of their DRM is absolute CRAP (activeX) (UEFI, thanks again apple) (XB0NE 1 needing to stay connected to the 'net) and broken software (you shouldn't need to re-boot windows because you don't update the kernel)!

It's not POP3. It's Exchange ActiveSync. Why they didn't just use IMAP I don't know.

But does anybody have any useful suggestions rather than "M$ Suxx0rs!

I use outlook from office 2003....never had issues....and my machine has zero antivirus on it. If people just exercise a little common sense, it stops most malware dead in its tracks.

Re: Outlook 2013 Outlook.com Problems

To make this thread actually useful, the solution was to change the setting from updating every 30 minutes to every 1 minute.

office 2003.

Office 2003 and 2007 are ugly 2010 is good. 2013 is even nicer.

Common sense is the best antivirus or should I say Uncommon sense?

What are you trying to win? Using the most hideous email clients possible? LOL!

Makes me think of this:

Most hideous thing ever in its stock form. Even though it could look much more beautiful with a day of CSS tweaks!

I agree, but it sucks badly at the newer PHP versions.
I switched to Roundcubemail, it's absolutely lovely!
It actually feels like you are in 2014 when you use it and not 1994

Re: Outlook 2013 Outlook.com Problems

Round cube is the default on pretty much all Linux mail servers now. Anybody here have use. the new Horde? Big improvement but still meh.

If you want awesome webmail RainLoop is the way to go though.

I reckon office 07 was the best looking. 2010 was slightly uglier, and 2013 looks like office 95 with a ribbon interface. I rarely use M$ office at all, though (except for Outlook). I'll take Open/Libre Office over any version of M$ office any day.

Back on topic, though, I use POP3. Imap doesn't work well in outlook

I guess I'm overlooking it. I see no themes in the settings.

Have you checked here?
The new interface is a lot more modern even though there are some things I like about the old UI better. But the new one is overall a bit nicer of an experience.
