Office 365 Consultant, I may be able to help you. Most firms are looking for a consultant because some of the technical configurations are a bit too advanced for a regular end user. What might those be? Microsoft Exchange migrations is for a bit too much for some. As an email migration expert, many firms call on me to help just for the email migration. SharePoint can also need help from a technician.Before we continue, when clients call me for help, I always do a full on interview to make sure they even need the full Office 365 package. Many only need 1 or 2 of the products and why buy it all when you need just few? To read my blog about this and see what your company needs click here.
If you have already bought Microsoft Office 365 and are not getting help from Microsoft… I can help. Or guide you to another firm who can. We all have our specialties!

If you are a Gmail user that also uses Outlook to manage your email, then you may have seen this error
(*or one like it) during a send/receive. It will either pop up or show up at the bottom of your Outlook.
As an Outlook Expert, I get calls about this error or one like it often. In a nutshell, your connection from Gmail to Outlook is broken (*even though it still might be working) and it’s saying “fix me!”.
So why are you getting it? Why is it broken? How did it break?
Could be a few reasons and I will explain.
If you setup your Gmail in Outlook many years ago, chances are that your email is not in synch with Gmail and you are hoarding 1000’s of emails (probably hiding in the All Mail or Important folders) and maybe went over the size limit or it’s just too much for Outlook to handle synching. What I do is create the client a test profile in Outlook and then get a fresh IMAP download (if the current Outlook is setup with IMAP as it probably is) and then let Outlook download a fresh IMAP copy. If I’m right and this is usually the case, you will see tons of email come down and it will show as “caching” or “fetching” and don’t be surprised to see 100,000 emails or more.
You could also need an upgrade to Outlook 2013, this might be necessary.
You might need to fix your Gmail settings in your Outlook too.
Or it could be a mix of all 3.
Moving on..
After I download all the email to a new profile….then we move into the fun stuff, the sorting and removing email off the Gmail IMAP server. This is the only way to really clean up the Gmail server if you’re using Outlook, download it all, the move it (not copy) to another PST file.
I helped 2 clients today with issues like these. 1 client just needed a fresh IMAP download, the other unfortunately had over 120,000mails I have to move off the Gmail server.
The final question I will answer is this…why doesn’t Gmail on the browser have problem because the email is on their server, via the browser. It does not download to Outlook, so the problems are rare.
If you want help slaying this dragon, I have done helped clients many times over fixing errors, reworking their Outlook and moving out 100,000’s of thousands of emails off their Gmail to a local PST file.

Hi again folks, Lisa your Outlook Expert talking to you today about organizing your email. Many of us, including me…get 1000’s of emails per week and figuring out a system to keep them managed is a chore on it’s own! But the thing I have found as an email specialist is this…everyone likes doing things their own way, or until I show them a better more managed way.Here is how it goes. A client calls in because they have issues with their current inbox. Many are exceeding their email server limit, or their Outlook is just slow. I do a review of their email size, their server and their PST folders. While it seems easy enough to do on your own, many clients hire me to do the general clean up and get it done fast and efficiently. And that is what I do. I dive into your emails/folders and create folders per year, then create deleted/sent folders and sub folders as well. I move email off the server to these folders and when I am done, you will see a perfect alignment of your emails folders by year. It actually looks pretty nice and easy to find when you search!
Today a long term client called in for her “yearly email move” and what we do is move all of her emails from the inbox to a new 2014 folder so her inbox is clean and ready for this year. This is a smart way to get your emails organized and keep your inbox tidy.
If you would like some help, feel free to call me at 612-865-4475 or fill out this form. Thanks and I look forward to helping!

Ms. Outlook Expert here (Lisa aka Call That Girl) telling you all about my support call I got in today. Client is very technical with Outlook, but not all techy clients know why their Outlook can slow down and many think they have too much email. Which can be the case, but usually I have to remote in and go check many things that can cause Outlook 2010 to slow down. Sometimes to a turtle pace!Here is the list of usual suspects…
Of course, there can be a list just as long of things causing Outlook 2010 to be slow, add-ins, 3rd party apps, who knows. I know though when I get in a computer I know what to look for right away. This is why hiring an Outlook Support tech to help is the best idea.
