GOod idea!

Trying to get my own name but it won't accept any phone numbers. I'm from Australia but just putting in a mobile or home phone doesn't work. Then if I add my state identifier before the number it still won't accept. Pretty stupid.

I wouldn't use this anyway, or gmail etc. Just the whole privacy thing.

Cluttered and colourful? Did you even look at it? I don't know what to say to that. It's a single coloured bar, the rest is white/grey. And it's a simple folder sidebar with a single list pane, with the option to have a viewer/preview pane as well. Cluttered I think not.

why is it so important to use your own name?

I dont see why it is so difficult lol

maybe if your name is john.smith haha

on the level is that what you mean by name. first.last@outlook.com?

or just first@outlook.com -- this is obviously likely to be taken.

I agree, Looks like they copied Gmail. Time for Google to break out the patent hammer...

Im liking it so far. I also got my name and both my nicknames as emails smile.gif I wish there was a global email changers though so I can drop gmail all together. Super simple and nice looking. Im enjoying it so far. Now for steam to come to linux and I would have a perfect world.

I love the new alias feature.  Made a bunch of aliases using the new @outlook.com address securing a bunch of my usernames.

 

This means I have one account with multiple address :D
