Instructions to interface Hotmail and Gmail records to Outlook 2013 see

In case you're utilizing the just-discharged review of Outlook 2013, you may have kept running into a bug that keeps you from legitimately setting up a Hotmail account. Here's a workaround, and some awful news for Gmail clients.

In the event that you've introduced the Office 2013 see, you may see one welcome expansion via the post office setup routine for Outlook 2013. It presently bolsters Exchange ActiveSync as an express choice.

That implies you never again need to introduce the kludgey Outlook Connector to set up a Hotmail account with Outlook.

Tragically, as I found in my testing, the record setup wizard doesn't generally recognize Hotmail accounts accurately. On the off chance that you enter a Hotmail address and it can't set up Exchange ActiveSync, it will attempt to set up your record utilizing POP and SMTP bolster. Terrible thought.

The uplifting news is there's a straightforward workaround.

In Outlook, click File. On the Info tab (appeared as follows), click Add Account.

That opens the Add Account exchange box, with Auto Account Setup chose. Try not to enter your email address and secret phrase here. Rather, click Manual setup or extra server types and after that click Next.

In the Choose Service discourse box (appeared as follows), select Exchange ActiveSync and snap Next.

Fill in the Server Settings discourse box utilizing your name, email address (Hotmail.com, Live.com, or MSN.com), and secret word. In the Mail server box, enter m.hotmail.com. Your settings should seem to be like these.

Snap Next to proceed. Standpoint will test your availability, and on the off chance that you've designed things legitimately you'll see another message store in the route sheet on the left, with your Hotmail messages arriving.

With respect to Gmail, the news isn't as great. In spite of the fact that Gmail underpins Exchange ActiveSync on cell phones, it offers just POP and IMAP choices with Outlook. In the event that you attempt to set up a Gmail account physically utilizing Exchange ActiveSync, you'll be unsuccessful.

Generally, IMAP execution in Outlook utilizing Gmail accounts has been awful. I'll be trying it in this see discharge to check whether things have enhanced, however I'm not holding my breath.

In the event that I discover a workaround for the last confinement, I'll refresh this post.
