You should wait 24-48 hours before using a new account.

I believe it discourages spammers from creating addresses and immediately sending emails.

Thanks, that does make sense.  So will I have to re-send my intro email, or will it filter through?

I'm still very puzzled people .....

All of the other addressee's on the email, except me have now received the message, and another one that I sent this morning.  But so far I have received nothing into my gmail account!!

Anyone got any ideas??

You created an outlook account.  Did you get an @outlook.com address?

What does the gmail account have to do with this problem?

Apologies Ron,

The outlook address is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Please allow me to try and explain.  The outlook account was created to for someone whe needs a "secret" email account that both myself and my wife can also see.  (All part of a divorce).  What I am trying to achieve is fast visible messaging between all parties.

So I set the account up, and emailed (from goglo1) myself (the gmail acount), My wife (another gmail account) and my mother-in-law (a hotmail account) to let everyone know that it was operational.

Now, 2 days later, my wife has received the email, but myself and my mother in law have not.

Any ideas?

This is what I see:

The outlook address is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

I just want to know if the address ends in @outlook.com.

When receiving emails from new addresses, you need to check the Junk e-mail folder.

It wouldn't hurt to add the new address to each address book.

Hi Ron,

It obviously wasn't me that added "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"!!

Yes, I can confirm that the adress does end in '@outlook.com'

I've added the address to my safelist, and I now appear to be recieving new posts, just not the old ones!

Hi guys,

I've started to use outlook.com few days ago mostly because of my new Lumia phone.

My experience is that all that stuff is to much complicated (in the background ) and very very slow ...

Few examples:

1. I'm located in Europe while my server is always in the US.

Gmail services "know" I'm in Europe so my clients connections are much faster 10-20ms vs 170-200ms (!!!) for outlook.com

2. Some emails got lost for DAYS. It seems inside the MS cloud. As an example: I have got test emails I have sent few days ago - this night :)

So Dave, learn to live with it or leave it :)
