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.

For Windows 7 users, do you have Service Pack 1 installed yet?
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.
What Facebook Email Spam Looks Like
I got two Facebook emails this past week. Both looked legit, but luckily they were in my junk folder and I could see the spam underneath. I thought it would be fun to share with you all how sneaky these email spammers can be.
Now if you notice in the 2nd picture (click on the pictures to enlarge), it states in my Outlook program that it might be a phishing site. But would you notice that? Like most people, we just see that we have a problem with our email and our precious Facebook account. This is just one of the many ways hackers get into your account. But the question is…how did they get my Facebook email account in the first place to send me this information?
Hackers can easily make fake emails that look like they’re coming from Facebook with legitimate-looking credentials; after that, all they need is your email…
Your email address may be visible in the contact information section of your profile or it might be downloadable by ‘Friends’, so make sure it is inaccessible. Go to Account Settings > Email and make sure the appropriate boxes are selected. Another suggestion is to change your primary email address to one that only you know. If you have to, go make a free email account specifically for Facebook.
Also, make sure the password for your email is different from the password for your Facebook account (and all of your accounts for that matter)- and make them complicated! It makes hacking more difficult.
Another possibility is that the security of your browser is making you susceptible to hackers.To make sure you are using Facebook securely, go to Account Settings > Security > Secure Browsing and make sure that this is enabled (https). For general protection on the internet, type in https instead of just http in the URL when going to websites. The “s” in https stands for secure!
It is also important to make sure that your browser is up to date. If the version you are using is old, you may have missed some important security updates, so don’t ignore those browser update notifications.
The hackers will always be out there trying to make our lives more complicated, but if you take the time to make sure you are being safe, it will be much more difficult for them to attack you.
Do you need an email therapist?
Maybe you do, maybe you don’t? Many of my clients have told me over and over that when they book an appointment with me, they feel like they are booking a therapy appointment. I am guessing it’s because of the calming methods I use to get information out of them and how they manage their inbox. Or because they feel they went through a minor exorcism. Either way, at the end of our appointments, I have you thinking completely different about how you manage your email and more importantly, your email life.
- If you find yourself lost in your own email on a daily basis, you may need some help with your set up.
- If you can’t find important emails, you may need organizing help.
- If your Outlook is getting clunky and slow, you should call me quickly because that’s a sign of it crashing.
- If you have multiple email accounts and nothing syncs, there are solutions out there to help you.
- Are you and your team (or just you) emailing yourself documents so you can have a copy on another computer? Stop that madness now. I know I have solutions to help you with this!
- Are you an email hoarder? Can’t let anything go? I am an email hoarding specialist and work with you to learn to let go, but yet keep those emails…just somewhere else.
I have written many blogs about Outlook and helping. If you’re not sure you’re ready to book an appointment yet, please go to our search function at the top of the page and type in “Outlook” and you will find many more blogs I have done on the subject to help. Are you ready right now? Please call 612-865-4475 and ask to get on Lisa’s calendar. I’m here to help!
5 Reasons Your Company Needs Microsoft Hosted Exchange For Email & Calendar
Ah just let me tell you all how many happy clients I have been seeing lately. Now is a good time for many people, business is good and people are ready to get their business technical needs in order. Sometimes things take time, the right time, the right budget…or just the last time you wanted a headache over technology.
So you may be asking, what is Hosted Exchange? In a quick sentence, it’s a simple way to manage your email, contacts, calendar and tasks “in the cloud” and everything just synchs.. I moved our company to this platform about a year ago (after having struggles of sharing my calendar with my employees) and would never go back to IMAP or POP for managing mail and just having Outlook standalone manage my other work. Sure, it costs a few bucks a year to do, but once you’re on it and see it working, it’s a valuable business tool and great asset for your company. Just one person can enjoy hosted exchange or those that really enjoy it are larger teams of staff who need access to each others inboxes/email, calendar, contacts, tasks and public folders.
Now on with the list in random order…
#5 Everything just synchs! Are you the type who has 3-5 devices and nothing synchs? This solves that problem. iPads, iPhones, Androids, Windows phones, tablets, computers and the online web version all work great.
#4 Out of office messages work (finally!)
#3 Share your calendar with your team flawlessly, allows permissions levels of others to view your calendar, edit and manage. Get rid of back door or 3rd party applications.
#2 Free Outlook 2010 upgrade ($130 value)
#1 You can share all of your company’s contacts and update with ease instantly with other team members.
Here is a bonus, assign tasks to other team members. This feature is not like Microsoft Project, but if you have delegation needs, assigning tasks works great. The other member can update the task and it stays in the to do bar in Outlook nicely.
With that all said, I could probably rattle off another 5 awesome things about hosted exchange. I mostly just love the feel of having the corporate environment back in my life, even though I don’t want to go back there 🙂
