Solutions for Comcast users who want email synchronizing

Lately my clients on Comcast are asking me for help for solutions to getting on an email program that is free and that allows them to synchronize their email/contacts and calendars.

Comcast only offers Pop accounts, which means email does not synchronize on the phones, Outlook or online.  IMAP functionality allows email inboxes to synchronize and the last time I checked, they were still not offering IMAP (hello, they are still in the 1990’s here!). And we are just talking email, most people today have 2 computers, a smartphone, iPad, tablet and want online access for travel, mobility people!

So it’s time to move into the future! While you can still use your Comcast account, getting an Outlook.com account is free and allows you to use the synchronizing platform on all of your devices. Goodbye to deleting email you have already deleted and not having calendars/contacts match up. And this might be a good time to get rid of the email account that is full of junk/spam, etc. Use that Comcast email for when you sign up online for stuff, use your Outlook.com account for only new communications.

Below is a list of things I help clients with…and if you want my help, it’s approximately 30 minutes of time to set up or $89. I know the tools and can do this quickly. You can do this yourself as well, but if you don’t know how to import/export, it might be sticky. (I’ll try to make a video on this soon.)

• Start an Outlook.com account
• Configure it in your desktop Outlook program
• Add to your smartphone, tablet, etc.
• Move your calendar entries on your current Outlook to the new Outlook.com account
• Do the same for contacts
• If you are using Gmail to synchronize your calendars, export out the calendars into the new outlook.com account in your desktop Outlook
• Forward your Comcast email to your new Outlook.com account
• Alert your contacts of the new change
• Since you have Comcast setup in your Outlook (or probably do), then you can still email back from y our Comcast account if you like

Once setup, you will truly enjoy the experience that usually only companies can get from Microsoft Exchange, this Outlook.com is just for personal use. If you are a business wanting it, I will recommend using Microsoft Exchange.
