Outlook Mail is new and from Microsoft is worth giving a try

I have been testing it out. It is sleek and simple like Gmail but you won't be tracked by the Gmail/google system. It is new so is wide open for getting email addresses you want. For example:

vanhalen7@outlook.com should be available and same with freeper@outlook.com

Gmail has a 10Gb storage limit for mail but outlook mail has none as far as I can see. Also can send larger attachments. Outlook mail search (within mail) function works great.

Okay, thanks for the tip. I just opened an email account so we’ll see how it goes. One thing I noticed, intuitive it AIN’T. LOL, I went to start building a “contacts” list from my other email account but there was nowhere on the Outlook contacts page to fill in the freaking email addresses! There were places to type in the contact name and company, etc., but nowhere to put in the actual email address! Oh well... they obviously still have some kinks to work out. Hopefully I’ll be able to click on “add contact” when I get email sent to the new account and I can build my contacts list that way.

FRegards,
LH

They looked at Gmail and did everything to improve on gmail. There must be a provision for the email address. I’ll check myself plus I am going to import my gmail address book to test.

Checked-— for each contact there is a provision for work email addy and personal email addy

And best way to import from say a gmail account is to first export gmail contacts to a csv file then upload this to outlook mail.
