What type of emailer are you?

| July 9, 2013 | 0 Comments

Every day while I’m helping my Outlook clients, I learn quite a bit about people and how they manage their lives. Outlook is usually their “life manager” with email, calendar and contacts working in synchronization.

I know it manages my life and those that help me run the business. Since they have access to my calendar and some email folders, I try to keep it managed for others to help me run the company. Try is the keyword, it’s not easy to get my brain from my way to thinking to a way others understand, after all…my brain is not a computer.

Now during all these years of helping clients, I have figured out there are a few types of emailers. Part of the joys of what I do for a living is getting remoted into a computer and seeing how my clients work, this helps me repair their Outlook believe it or not.

The Four Types of Email Users

1.) The type that deletes everything out of the inbox, it’s clean as a whistle! You keep nothing, you don’t need it, why have it around? You usually don’t have many Outlook problems do you?

2.) You have 180 emails in your inbox and you think you have a lot and it’s wasting space. You have no folders, no rules and just feel that 180 is too many. You’re not sure what to keep or throw, so you just delicately go through those emails and keep only what you need.

3.) The type that keeps everything in your inbox, never sorts, has rules or moves anything. You may have 4000 unread emails and it doesn’t bother you a bit. You use the search feature and love it! You probably do have size issues on occasion or a major slow down in your Outlook. You’re smart enough to know to delete stuff, but are scared but do is cautiously.

4.) You’re over obsessed with managing every email, have 50 folders, massive amounts of rules, heck…you maxxed out the rule limit! You never delete, you keep everything somewhere and live and breathe out of your smartphones and iPads, you can’t wait one minute for a new email. Email is your money and your money is your life.  Having 10,000 unread emails is nothing to you, it’s just a database right? Keep it all!

Then there are the types in the middle. Currently with the Smartphone phenomenon, I’ve had to learn how to do many new “therapy sessions” (aka..Outlook help) and am learning how those folks work.

If you are experiencing Outlook or email issues or need to get all of your computers and devices in synch, try our hosted exchange opportunities, feel free to give me a call. I can help. (Or email me!) Lisa@callthatgirl.biz

Do you need Outlook relief from a support expert?

The Outlook Expert

Microsoft Outlook is the number one used software program for businesses for a reason. It’s great, works well and usually does what you need it to do – manage your email, create rules and help manage your day to day. Not every computer repair technician knows Outlook well enough to service your calls quickly, though. This is where I step in. Since the 1990’s, I have been supporting email programs. I started off with a program called “Mulberry” and it worked great, but only managed email. Then in 2000, when I graduated college I got my first job in the corporate world supporting Lotus Notes for American Express. Lotus worked ok, but was clunky at that time. Two months later I secured a new position with Honeywell and they were a Microsoft shop and this is where my love for Outlook began.

For 13 years I have engaged in all the Outlook versions and in the past two years moved into supporting all types of email, not just Outlook, but Mac Mail, Entourage, Outlook 2011, Thunderbird, Windows live mail, you name it…I can support it. Outlook is my love, though. I know it very well and am fast at repairing and training my clients to use it most efficiently.

The Outlook Relief

Is your Microsoft Outlook giving you just too many headaches? Let’s schedule a tune-up for you and your Outlook program to learn how to use it better, repair your minor glitches and get you back on track…and back it up! Most people have no idea that they need to back it up.

Schedule an appointment today for a one hour session with Lisa for $99 (Save $30)

During this appointment we will cover the following:

  • How you are doing your email (Pop or IMAP), insure it’s the best choice for you
  • Repair Outlook if necessary
  • Should you upgrade to the latest Outlook 2013
  • Check Add-ons and remove those not needed
  • Local Folder Check (PST files) for size and organization

Microsoft Office 365 Consultant 2

 

For Windows 7 users, do you have Service Pack 1 installed yet?

| March 28, 2013 | 0 Comments

Attention all Windows 7 users! Microsoft will no longer support security and performance fixes on your computer if you don’t have Service Pack 1 installed by April 9. Service packs contain Microsoft’s software updates, and typically are part of the updates that many people have their computers set to automatically receive. Since Service Pack 1 came out nearly two years ago, there is a good chance it is already installed on your computer, but if it’s not, the update will expire April 9.

To find out if SP1 is already installed on your computer,

  • Go to the Start menu
  • Right-click on Computer
  • Choose Properties
  • At the top of this window, under the label Windows Edition, Service Pack 1 will be listed if you already have it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you do not see it listed,

  • Go back to the Start menu
  • Select All Programs
  • Choose Windows Update.
  • On the left hand side, click Check for updates.
  • After it is done checking, look at the list of available updates. If you see Service Pack for Microsoft Windows (KB976932), click OK.
  • Proceed to Install Updates and follow the instructions on your screen.

BEFORE YOU UPDATE, back up your files! If you need help or have problems with the update, give us a call at 612-865-4475.
