Quillz Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I've never found it so easy in Outlook before to set up all my e-mail accounts. But in Outlook 2010, I typed in my AOL e-mail and password, my Gmail e-mail and password and my WLM e-mail and password, clicked "Next" and then Outlook configured all three perfectly within a minute. Is this something new? Because even in Outlook 2007, I always had to end up going into the settings and changing the server port numbers, etc. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm very impressed with Outlook 2010 so far, as it has made setting up multiple accounts much easier than I was expecting.

cwpenner Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 That's pretty sweet. On a similar note, I uninstalled 2007 in order to install 2010 x64, and when I opened it, Outlook 2010 somehow retained all of my settings, including account info, contacts, tasks, calendar, and notes, even after I uninstalled 2007 and rebooted... I'm intrigued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dt Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 That sounds well and good but I have hesitated to go with 'auto configurators' because for example with Gmail, I prefer to use IMAP but would that configurator attempt to use POP3 instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It set up IMAP for me, because that's what I have in the Gmail settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sibot Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Great, I can't wait to test out Office 2010. I already love 2007 so much, I'm sure 2010 will only enhance the experience. I'm curious does Office 2010 support Live ids (MSN, Hotmail, Live) without having to install Outlook connector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably get it to work using POP settings but by default it does not. Also the Outlook connector doesn't work with it (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to set up my WLM account fine. I'm able to use it, read and delete e-mails, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
