Email transfer from Telus to google mail
I have stumbled on a number of web articles about telus mail moving to gmail. Link: https://www.telus.com/en/bc/support/article/telus-email-transition-general-information I have not received any no...
They are migrating the email accounts over in batches. They will email you prior to your account moving.
NancyM I would suggest that your basic problem is Outlook, and would suggest you consider switching to Thunderbird. I switched from Outlook to Thunderbird years ago as I was having constant issues with Outlook, and Microsoft constantly changing the program.
I find Thunderbird and Gmail work fine together using IMAP. Synchronization is essentially instant. You have access to your mail with a phone or other mobile device, while keeping your email mirrored on your hard drive with Thunderbird. You can make changes on a mobile device or home PC and it is updated on both. If you don't want Gmail to access all email you can drag it to a local folder and it will only be kept on the hard drive. Thunderbird can handle multiple accounts.
Thanks for the suggestion. I used Thunderbird for a few years but since I have to support others who use Outlook, it's easier for me to know the ins and outs of it. I do agree that the "improvements" Microsoft keeps making have completely ruined the application.
But just to be clear, now that I've deleted every last piece of the G Suite Synchronization nightmare, and set my mailbox up using IMAP, Outlook is working just fine.
It's surprising that Outlook is still around. It's the relic of e-mail.
