How does one change the folder in the outlook where you download your mails
I'm assisting a friend with a new Win 11 PC and will try this work-around. What nonsense this is. having to go through these 'hoops'. After using VISTA I totally abandoned anything to do with Microsoft over 15 years ago and have never encountered setting up issues with Apple.
Great tutorials! Thank you!
it worked, Thanks a lot, luv from India
Nice, I have also made a video for Configuring Gmail account in Outlook: https://youtu.be/ky8Gq-MMNzQ It would be great if you could guide me on What should i do to improve my channel
Excellent information and the visuals are a big help. FYI, the background music is extremely annoying and distracting. It is beyond me why YouTube content creators think it necessary or cool playing music over their voice. During your next client or business meeting when the speaker begins their presentation turn up music. My bet is the participants will become highly miffed, as well they should. It is the same you are doing to your audience.
Thank you so much, it worked
Thanks ♥
Thanks buddy; it worked but i had to opt of POP3 instead of IMAP. IMAP continued to refused and kept saying " outlook failed to make data file on the disk check setting " but POP3 worked well.
Yeah, it worked. Just added my Gmail to my new Windows 11 laptop 👍🏼
Hi Dave, good video, thanks. I have a problem I cannot resolve. My Iphone 8 suddenly decided to stop communicating with my PC when I plug it in with a USB cable to back-up or transfer pictures. PC running Win 7 professional, service pack 1, 64 bit, my phone is running ios 14.5.1. It all worked when I got the phone , then it stopped communicating, I messed around and actually got it to work for a while but not sure exactly what I did that resolved it even though I made notes, then it stopped communicating again and has been a problem for nearly a year. Plugs into my win 7 laptop and communicates ok. I know I am not the only person to have this problem, but cant find a fix. Running Avast premium so there is not much junk getting onto my pc. Any ideas please? Thanks, James
