Re: Office Live forums anywhere?

Mack, I have another string going on this same issue and it is going nowhere.
Are you able to access your email within your website administration area
within OfficeLive, or are you having to go through Hotmail?

Here's what I found out:
I also have an update for other users of Office Live's website hosting
service who are having this same problem...

I finally figured out how I can check my incoming email on my new Office
Live hosted website. Each email account that is created for an Office Live
website domain must have an existing Microsoft Passport account with a unique
** third-party** email address (such as Hotmail, Gmail, or Yahoo Mail) for
each email that will be setup on your new Office Live domain.

This means that if you have 5 employees that will be receiving email to 5
individual email accounts on your new website, each employee must signup for
a Passport account. When they do, they **cannot** use the domain name that
Microsoft issued as part of the Office Live package, and they cannot use the
same Passport account to check multiple email accounts.

For example, if your new Office Live website is called
"www.joestrucking.net", and you have 5 email accounts that came with the
domain hosting package, then each one of the email accounts on the domain
(ex.: joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) must have a seperate
Microsoft Passport account in order to sign into your joestrucking website
and check your email.

It seem rather redundant to have one user have to signup for 2 or 3 Passport
accounts just to check different emails coming into one website. I guess
that's one way Microsoft can direct more people to the Passport account
system. That's not bad, just redundant...

In my case, I have 2 emails that I personally want to check daily:
"info@xxxxxxxxxxxx" (for inquiries directed from my Contact Us Page),
and "bob@xxxxxxxxxxxx" (for personal incoming company email).

I had to signup for another Passport account just to read the
"info@xxxxxxxxxxxx" email.

At least I solved the issue.
Good day to you all.

Does anyone know of a user forum/ posting board for users of the new
Microsoft Office Live websites? I built my free website using their
site builder software and it is up and running, although still "under
construction".

My problem is that I setup 3 initial email accounts for my website,
but there is no way for me to check my incoming emails to the new site
(example: a customer inquiry from my "contact us" page). I sent 2
"test messages" to my new email addresses, but they don't show up
anywhere, and there's no place to login in.

When I login to the site builder and go to the "User accounts and
email" page, all it show is the "admininstation" portion of the page
(Edit/Delete/Add).

Anybody have any ideas (or other forums) for Microsoft Office Live?
Thanks in advance.

Here is a list of all the MS newsgroups: http://aumha.org/nntp.htm
Perhaps you'll find something there.

For forums or messageboards, check with Google. This is Usenet, not a
forum.

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:
