| 1292181 | 2012-08-02 02:10:00 | It does look good, but why on God's green earth did they call it Outlook? It's bad enough now with clients sorting out the difference between Outlook Express and Outlook, did MS learn nothing from the 'Office XP' naming debacle... :badpc: | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1292182 | 2012-08-02 05:12:00 | OK guys . There might be a outlook.com free for all email adress lolly scramble. Snap up all those email adress's that might be usefull, & block others from getting something relevant to you Ive snapped up one allready taken with hotmail. Sort of usefull to have gmail & outlook.com with similar adress |

| 1292186 | 2012-08-02 21:33:00 | No it is not, it is a complete rewrite from scratch with all sorts of sophisticated features to compete with Gmail. | zqwerty (97) | ||

| 1292189 | 2012-08-04 00:11:00 | I signed up for it yesterday and had a good look around - to be perfectly honest, it still feels like Microsoft is lagging way behind GMail. There's a ton of stuff that I use regularly which is completely missing from outlook.com. I'm sure there are a few more things, but these are the ones I noticed: Two-factor authentication Extra, revokable passwords with usage tracking (app-specific passwords) Labels ('categories' partly provides this, but not fully) List-based mail filters Multiple-action mail filters Filter-based autoreply Starred-first inbox view (note that this isn't the same thing as 'sort by flagged') Directness indicator in list view (shows whether email is directly to you, to others as well, CCd etc) XMPP integration Folder list visibility settings Preview snippets (shows body previews in list view) Google+ integration IMAP support Canned responses Selection-based quoting Single-action send & archive DKIM Sender timezone / current time (I think - I can't find a setting for it, but unsure whether it shows up by default) Unread count favicon The interface was also periodically quite sluggish, which I found quite disconcerting for an email application - I'm used to getting near-instant responses. |
