New Outlook Podcast
If you enjoy listening to technical podcasts, each week I will discuss stories from the field about the New Outlook as well as other topics. I also have articles on LinkedIn if you want to follow those too. For new listeners, I have been podcasting since 2011. This would be my third show, that’s why I have 54k downloads. I wanted a fresh start with content, so I unpublished the other 110 eposides. New Outlook is a game changer so it deserves the fresh start!

New Outlook Preparation Check List
New Outlook Preparation Check List
Hey folks! Due to the upcoming changes with Microsoft, I’m setting up a service specifically for those who want to know everything they need to know to get ready. Yes, it might be years away but Microsoft can tend to change things up quickly and it’s important you know what will be changing for you with your current Outlook configuration. I’m already helping people now because they have tested the New Outlook and like it better than classic, so we are migrating all their data to platforms so they can use the New Outlook.
If you are only using a business domain account with Microsoft 365, more than likely your data will all convert with some minor changes. I’m happy to do a spot check with you either way.
If you are using IMAP, POP/PST and Yahoo, Gmail, etc. This appt will be important for you in the future.
Here is the checklist of topics I can cover in a 30 min – 60 min session:
- Review your email accounts and discuss each one and how it will work in the New Outlook
- Example: You can’t use iCloud in the New Outlook if you have another email account using your iCloud user name (Apple ID). This is very common for my clients to use one email address for everything.
- Review your mailbox sizes limit on the server and what it can handle
- Create solutions for all your data to get into a cloud server of your choice
- Review your PST files. We will decide if you want to move them to a Business 365 Microsoft account or a Personal 365 Microsoft Outlook or another platform such as Google, Gmail, etc.
- Review your Outlook contacts, calendars, tasks and notes. Everything in the New Outlook is different, that data will need to get migrated as well.
- If you are a heavy tasks user, then we will discuss how that will change using the New Outlook
- This is very important to know if you are an Android user
- Review your phones, iPhone and Android users have different mobile apps and each has different synchronizing capabilties
- How to migrate your memory of contacts, these are the names and emails that show up when you start typing an email
- Review your rules, quick parts and templates
- Review Zoom, Teams, CRM, ACT, Any other add-ins, 365 Connectors
- Security for all email accounts
- Personal and Business 365 accounts and licenses
- After our discussion, you might want to change or upgrade depending on your needs
- I’m always going to recommend domain IMAP users move to Microsoft Exchange. If that is not feasable, there are other options to just move your data to an Outlook.com account (free Microsoft 365 Exchange server)
- Create a mapping of all of your DNS, 365, all email accounts
I might think of some more to cover, but this is what I find is typical of from my past client requests.

New Outlook is something else! If you are googling for these keywords, I can most definately help you. Whether you like or love the New Outlook or need help transitioning data, or reversing to the old classic Outlook, let me help. This page will be updated soon with all the videos and blogs I am going to create focusing on you, the end user! And trust this, I have so many topics coming out, please follow me on YouTube to get the videos, or check back on this page as it will have the updated blogs.
Few important things to know:
- If one day you launch Outlook and your old Outlook is gone and you are missing all of your calendar, contacts and PST files, please note that you can most likely go back to the classic Outlook and your data SHOULD be there. I say that loud and bold because it should but it might not be. I can maybe get it back if it’s gone.
- PST files are not supported yet with the New Outlook so your PST files will not show up. If you had Outlook configured with POP and PST, I can help migrate that data to a platform that New Outlook will read, or try helping reverse back to classic Outlook.
- PST’s might be readable in the New Outlook one day. I’m going to guess that they will not work as they have for all these years, but you might be able to read the data. Who knows though, Microsoft might allow them to be able to read/move and change. Things I will keep you all updated with in the future.
- Cool features: Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo has full synchronizing abiliity with their online calendars and contacts. So far! I find this most amazing, so it’s a great update for those wanting “everything to synch” and for home users mostly.
- Missing features: Oh wow, so many! Contacts, definitely lost many features like fields and just so much. It was a sad day for me to see that. I help so many clients now customize their contacts to perfection. Also many calendar features
- Tasks, will now be in the To do app and there is a lot coming up with that. Think “Planner”, using Teams. More to come!
- Search, it’s fast! Way faster than classic Outlook!
Below are some videos to watch! I’ll add more as I have them!
