Try to figure out what call I take that only takes 10 minutes to do but saves my clients from worry and potential data loss?
Verifying that their backup is working! These are my favorite jobs especially with online backup, I am sure to get all the Outlook files too, even the ones no one thinks should be backed up.
Feel free to leave a comment if this blog helped you! I am enjoying reading and replying to them.

So many clients with Gmail are using very old Outlook. Today I helped a client setup her Gmail account and it would not stop syncing. Her internet was fast and the computer was fast, her email size was just around 1 gig. What do you think was the issue here?
Outlook 2010 is broke and out of date, time to upgrade when this happens. Be sure you back up!

Client lost a few folders and many emails were also missing. Finding lost data is one of my favorite jobs I work on, mostly because I am pretty darn good at finding them. Guess where his lost data was?
Right in the good old inbox. I had to first find them and then created the folders again and he will move them all back. Search is your friend!
?? WIN WIN ?? Another insane 30 min with a client who had 3 Microsoft migraines rolling. Client has IMAP for email/Office 365 home for his 4 home computers and an Outlook.com account. Why do you think he has the Outlook.com account?
To use it for calendar and contact sharing between all his computers and phone. Outlook.com is free! Let me help you learn how to set it up!
?? WIN WIN ?? Client was using Outlook and got a security certificate error in Outlook and he was using POP not IMAP. These errors are typical with IMAP but POP…nope. So I did the usuals, Windows updates, Office updates and checked settings, all seemed fine. Then I decided to look…
In the incoming and outgoing port settings, yep…all setup wrong. I set to default and it worked great!
