I know there are other Outlook mail threads.
This is my personal thread.
Windows 8:
I have had enough with Outlook , my contacts are no where to be seen , since the
last Microsoft update, I for years, have purchased extra storage for my old hotmail acct. , ( merged with Outlook mail)
I had, had enough, last night, I used the old phone number for my extra storage, (credit card to pay ) Microsoft extra storage.
I called , got Tech Support , last night that was the wrong dept., they sent me to
Microsoft -Outlook mail. the guy helping me had me to check quite a few things for him,
then said" let's open Chrome browser, let's try something there," which we did , opened Outlook,clicked on People tab, ALL of my contacts were there , mail was there, calender was quite slow opened ,no appointments or dates saved, Skydrive opened, all ok.
This morning back to Chrome browser , all 4 tabs are working perfectly, Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Skydrive.
Received an e-mail from Microsoft this morning , page , link to keep up with the repair /update to FIX these problems with Outlook Mail - Windows 8
I hope this will work for others with such or similar issues with Outlook Mail.
