“A good thing ruined!”

Written on: 15/05/2013 by PeterRJ

I had a easy to get round reliable Hotmail account for 14 years that has been totally turned on it's arse! I NEVER used to get 'We cannot connect you at the moment, please try again later' before but now I get it nearly half the time. It's also nowhere as simple to use as before as it hides stuff. Am going to look for somewhere else to go as it's now just frustrating. Would like to give it no stars at all! (read more)

“Other than your Marketing Dept...who wanted this garbage?”

Written on: 04/04/2013 by Hil411

It was a stinking, entry level e-mail service. Simple, easy to use and not for Rocket Scientists AND it served a purpose. What was once ONE click has become the Odyssey...and in ancient Greek. Outlook...better to have called it OUTHOUSE. NOT a fan! (read more)

“Attatchments”

Written on: 01/04/2013

Why did you have to change everything. Now i can't attach photo's or docs to my emails - i have tried & tried & they just won't upload wnen there was never ever a problem with Hotmail.

“My Outlook Review”

Written on: 22/08/2012

I liked outlook from the start. But after a while the layout started to get boring. If I first started outlook, and I did not know anything about it I would think that It was for old people learning how to use a computer. Overall its not terrible, but it doesn't have some of the features I am looking for. After about a month of Outlook I switched to Gmail which was a much better choice. (read more)

“Finally something from MS done well, but not for me...”

Written on: 13/08/2012 by OnBayUK (1 review written)

The transition from Hotmail to Outlook takes about 3 clicks. It's all very simple. Are you sure? Do you want an outlook.com alias? How do you want us to handle your old emails? Deals with all the points i'd have wanted without the mess of doing it myself. I used the new Outlook for a week and overall it was an excellent upgrade from the Hotmail i'd been used to. My problem, however, was that in changing the way my old account was handled (make a new folder for it and let Outlook.com create... (read more)

I couldnt agree more, about time MS have a great online email tool that is reliable and not filled with ads.

“Simple as the mailbox should be”

Written on: 12/08/2012 by renniemoon (1 review written)

I wasnt so familiar with what would happen after upgrading to outlook, so it took me some time observing if I should go with it. When I finally changed my hotmail to outlook, it surprised me. The interfaces simple, and easy to use. I actually expected nothing from Mailbox, but to send and receive mails. Outlook makes this straight and clear. By the way, I think new outlook looks a bit like Win 8, isn't it. (read more)

“Expected teething problems but neat, polished and works.”

Written on: 09/08/2012 by jeremykyleftw (1 review written)

It's a simple interface, but what else do you need for your email? It's not cluttered, it's structured well and looks good. It's easy to navigate and to compose and read new emails. Customisable too with different colour themes. Only thing I find personally irritating is that I use the up and down keys to read an email, to scroll, but this actually scrolls in your inbox, so you will be end up reading another email. Overall, I like the new service from Microsoft, it integrates well with... (read more)
