Please note that if you are talking about what Hotmail was converted
to, it is *not* Outlook, it is Outlook.com. Outlook is a standalone
e-mail program which can be bought either alone or as part of
Microsoft Office.

Microsoft has done us a terrible disservice by calling two such
different things by such similar names.

This newsgroup is about Outlook, not Outlook.com, and you will
probably find little help here with Outlook.com, or none. Sorry, I
know next to nothing about Outlook.com and can't help you with it.

Hi, Carver.

I agree fully with Ken: Microsoft really goofed - AGAIN!! - by choosing the
name "Outlook.com" for their roll-up of several prior email domain names.
They changed my account, for example, from "(e-mail address removed)" to
"(e-mail address removed)"! Why? They tried to explain that my previous
@msn.com and @Hotmail.com addresses - and several other possible
variations - all actually resolved to "(e-mail address removed)", and that they are
now retiring the "Live" name, which they worked so hard for several years to
promote.

Doesn't make sense to me, but that's Microsoft's explanation for why all the
former Hotmail, @msn.com, @live.com (and other) addresses are now
@outlook.com addresses.

Bottom line: As Ken said, "outlook.com" is a mail server (formerly known as
live.com or msn.com or others), NOT related to Microsoft Outlook, the
application that handles contacts and other functions, including email - but
NOT newsgroups. :>(
