Post publish in order to warn potential migrating on Live for domains c other postal services.
A terrible misfortune mows down large corporations in the high-tech sector - after Nokia, Microsoft falls into insanity.
The company has begun to actively cut the branch on which it is sitting - starting with the Office 2013 office suite, the scope of the “innovations” and the degree of cretinism will not let even seasoned people get bored. Some time ago in the licensed Office model there were restrictions for users, so a wave of criticism forced them to urgently revise this very model (
remember that? ). You can also remember, let's say, deviant themes.
')
But just today I was convinced that the stock of stupidity that Microsoft could suffer from was inexhaustible. A miraculous bug was discovered in the work of the office package in 2013 with the updated Hotmail mail service, named Outlook.com, the same year of release.
In previous versions of the mail client, the Outlook add-in Hotmail Connector was provided for working with the Hotmail mail service. The add-in worked shakily, but it worked. With the release of the 2013 office suite, Hotmail / Outlook.com integration was announced right into the email client.
The idea is, on the whole, excellent - why look for Exchange hosting for your domain, when you can get the same from the e-mail service, and even for nothing? Connect your Live for domains, buy an office in 2013 and enjoy Push and other buns without any payment!
He was guided by such logic and sincerely believed in a happy ending the author, until the very moment when he tried to transfer old letters from the pst archive to the newly created box, not even in his own domain, but in the Outlook.com domain. And I got this message:
Fig. 1. Outlook 2013 hints at us that free cheese is only in a mousetrap.
Marvelous mistake, I thought. A banal action is to transfer a letter received by the same email client to a similar storage. Rechecked - sent a letter to a new address, dragged it into the pst-file, tried to drag it back - pipes!
Being in light shock, I looked for other questioners and found the reason here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781261/en-us
Outlook 2013 uses EAS 14.0 to connect to Microsoft Hotmail accounts (@ hotmail.com, msn. Com, live. Com, and outlook. Com).
...
This is not the case for the EAS 14.0 protocol.
Microsoft Hotmail account can not be synced to an Outlook 2013 client.
That is, due to the peculiarities of the protocol developed by Microsoft, their expensive (in terms of cost) email client cannot do the basic relocation operation with their email service. Moreover, drafts created on desktops in Office 2013 will not be saved to Hotmail / Outlook.com mailbox.
Conclusion: if you want to make a good service - do it wisely.
PS He returned to Yandex. Mail - with the exception of Push, everything else suits.
