[dba-Tech] non-Exchange Outlook users

[ssharkins at gmail.com]

Alan, thanks for the link you sent. Tina... things are well for this morning.

I don't know if I'm still banned but nothing's bouncing this morning. I have no clue what generated that and why it has seemingly resolved itself.


I am using 365 for ssharkins at gmail.com. It has made my onmicrosoft.com account the default, so I would like to change that, but otherwise, all is well for now. With a little time (two days), everything just started working as expected. I still have two accounts I need to pull into 365. I hope it goes smoother than the first experience.


My contacts are available, but I can't find them in the Contacts window anywhere. When I create an email, they are in the AutoComplete list -- visible, so they are there and I have access to them.


Calendar and Tasks never made it over but they are easily recreated.


Susan H.

Susan,

I am following your adventure on this just because I get asked questions
like this and I so seldom use Outlook that I have to go look things up
always. Thank you for keeping us all apprised.

They didn't show up in gmail, so I don't know where they've been hanging out. ☹ What a mess. So far, I've deleted about 20,000 messages. They're still coming in. What a mess.

Reading still a bit and it looks like exporting a cvs file instead of pst might have done a better job. I might follow up later, just to see. I wish I had experimented with it earlier, but everything I read kept saying to use a pst file.
