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.
Telus has just dumped (put us out to trash) all of us small business clients who use a computer based email (we used Microsoft Outlook 2010). This worked extremely well for us. We relied heavy on the offline (locally stored) folders. These folders are now TOTALLY INACCESSIBLE in this new mass dump to the Internet GMail. To date we have not been able to get through to Telus - can be on hold for hours! Then if you do get through - they have no idea - not sure - so no real help AT ALL. If we could just get back into our old Telus email on our stand alone computer then they can still be accessed, printed, or saved into documents. What is wrong with TELUS!!!!
If we wanted an “Internet” email we would have switched. Have spoken to others and they are in the same predicament - absolutely no help for small businesses at all. Spoke to users in B.C. and was advised they are also still trying to get their offline small business folders. Is there any solution out there. All I keep getting is GMail does not synchronize properly - what kind of explanation does that mean. Also suggested was - perhaps you should not have switched! grrrrr

I don't use Outlook so I really can't help you with the detail. Have you followed the Telus instructions for setting up Outlook 2010?
- Hi - we cannot access the MS Outlook 2010 that is loaded on the computer at all. It is totally frozen. MS Outlook 2010 just keeps trying to open with no luck. Someone else has suggested as per others that the takeover by the Google Internet Mail has blocked access back into our Outlook Program. Guess like being hi-jacked with no guidance.
The first thing you probably want to do is use File Explorer to find the .pst file which should have all your off line data. If you don't find a pst then look for .ost. I would look at the size of it and the file modification data, and then make a copy in a backup folder.
Then I see a Microsoft Support procedure to do a repair on an office product that includes Outlook 2010. Your could try that to see if that allows Outlook to start up again.
- Thank you. I did read over your link. I am not computer savvy at all - and always leave all those things to the computer experts - but no one will come to work on this problem due to COVID. Am worried if I process any hint of a “scrub” command it may cause a loss of these business folders.
Why would Telus assume that everyone would be a computer pro.
