Windows 8 Mail from Microsoft setup problem

I have a Dell tablet running Windows 8.1 Professional. I've installed the Universal ("Metro") app "Mail from Microsoft". I've set up an IMAP account. I'm able to log in, receive and send email. But, the email address for this account
is different than the "sync" account. But, when I go into the account setting page, I can't change the "preferred email address" field -- it's grayed out. I'm assuming that it's the field that the controls the "from" email
address. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to change it?

Hi Richard,
How did you sync that?
When you click the "Sync" as the screenshot below, all your new emails from your mail accounts have been synced to the Mail app. It's not sync one specific account emails.
About "Preferred email address" settings this is only for outlook.com. Allows you to send an email using an Outlook.com alias.

Security mails from Microsoft cant be delivered to Exchange 2010

Hi there,
I have strange issue with delivering e-mails from Microsoft account team to my Exchange 2010 users.
That is single Exchange 2010 server scenario with Microsoft antispam features installed.
There is one setting that is affecting behavior of that: Sender-ID filtering. If it is configured as reject messages, the authentication e-mails are rejected with error:
550 5.7.1
Missing purported responsible address,MissingPRA,No valid PRA
I was doing some research around the Sender-ID filter and found this:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997242(v=exchg.141).aspx pointing
to this:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4407.txt
(see chapter 2, points 5 and 6)
And Im thinking that the From: header is too long for the filter having 133 characters...
From: =?windows-1250?Q?T=FDm,=20kter=FD=20se=20star=E1=20o=20=FA=E8ty=20Microsoft?= <[email protected]>
See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822 chapter 2.1.1
And if from header is not read properly, there is no other chance to define PRA.
Im attaching the header with some privacy related edits (*)
And also connection to my previos post:

Do anyone knows the limits of header lines in the Exchange 2010 Antispam Filters?

I have tested it deeply and strange thing gets even stranger:
If I send entire email with telnet the difference between error and accepting message by server is comma in From: header. so:
Message is not accepted with that line:
From: =?windows-1250?Q?T=FDm,=20kter=FD=20se=20star=E1=20o=20=FA=E8ty=20Microsoft?= <[email protected]>
Message is accepted if I delete a comma:
From: =?windows-1250?Q?T=FDm=20kter=FD=20se=20star=E1=20o=20=FA=E8ty=20Microsoft?= <[email protected]>

Satellite L300 - Can I purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft

My Satellite L300 came with Vista Home Premium. I formatted the drive and installed Windows XP to enable me to run a software not compatible with Vista.
Now Windows wants me to activate the OS.
I now want to purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft.
Will I be able to install Windows 7? or will the Vista product key tied to the system reject the installation?

> Will I be able to install Windows 7?
Definitely. Ive installed Win7 32bit on friends L300 and it works perfectly. Much better than Vista.
For Win7 activation you need valid product key that you can get from Microsoft. Vista key placed at the sticker will not help you at all.

Downloaded legitimate copy of Windows 7 from Microsoft...

I know I need to install Windows 7 from Bootcamp. I used to have Vista on it, but have gotten rid of that now. I upgraded to 8 gigs of ram, so now I have to install 64 bit for Windows. No matter how I copy Windows to a dvd to use in Bootcamp, it can't find the dvd. I have seen that there are files from the dvd in Finder. Is it impossible to upload a "copied" dvd, and do I have to wait for Microsoft to mail me their backup? ...or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Well, I went and purchased 2 other brands of dvd, but neither one of them are burning, either. That totals 4 different brands. I've reinstalled Windows Vista till I get the Windows 7 dvd in the snailmail. Can't believe I've been through HOURS for absolutely nothing but reinstalling what I had in the first place, only to wait around 3 weeks till I get the actual dvd. Lesson learned. Get the original software straight from the manufacturer in the first place!
Anyway, has anyone else had a problem with burning a dvd, when a cd will burn no problem, and it reads dvds and cds no problem?

Need to send mail from Microsoft Exchange 2007 account(different from Gmail) on behalf of another Gmail ID. How to configure that ?

I have a Gmail ID (e.g [email protected])
I have a Exchange ID (e.g [email protected])
I need to configure exchange account (2007) such that I can send a mail from my Exchange account but at the receiver end it looks like it was sent from ([email protected]).
Both the accounts are my accounts.
I need this because I do not have access to my Gmail account from place where I access the internet and I need to send the mails from my Gmail account only.

So you want to spoof your e-mail address.
You can make your Exchange server send as any address you want. Just create a different mailbox with that address as the primary (reply) address. It has to be a different account.
However, be aware that many systems to which you send such mail to will bounce it as suspected spam because they'll detect that your server is sending mail from Gmail but your server is not Gmail.

Windows XP from Microsoft's Virtual PC

I have just ordered a new 24" iMac, 2.8 ghz machine. I have a need to do a few things in a windows environment. My older Macs have Microsofts Virtual PC installed running the copy of Windows XP professional that came with the original program. Can I install Windows from this disk or do I need to buy a new copy of windows? I have seen references to Service Pack 2. I know that that while service pack 2 may be resident on the windows disk it was installed after the original installation of windows. Advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Doug,
it is indeed technically possible to use the Windows XP from Virtual PC.
See here for procedure: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060527175405403
But keep in mind that the Windows License does not allow you to use one Windows XP on two or more computers.
And because of the Activation Process of XP they will find out...
Good Luck

Import mails from microsoft outllook to mac outlook

Am trying to import mails from MS outlook to MAC outlook and its not importing all msgs/ folders..
adv why??

You're in luck, Imap and Exchange accounts store their data on the server.
Leave Outlook alone, just add the accounts to Mail and let them synchronize, no import required. You can leave them in Outlook or remove them as you please once everything in Mail is done.

Transferring e-mails from Microsoft Outlook Express to Entourage '08

Ok, so I agreed to help my neighbor with an e-mail issue she was having. Her issue was moving all of her e-mails from her PC (on Outlook Express) to her new iMac (using Entourage '08). It's a rather complicated thing, I'm sure, and I'll try to go over everything as thoroughly, and as simply, as possible.
She has an @comcast e-mail account. She has her @comcast account set with Outlook Express, on her PC, and she is able to receive all incoming e-mails on O.E., but they disappear on the Comcast e-mail page 24 hours after she receives them.
When she purchased her iMac, the Geniuses at the retail store set up her @comcast account to Mail, and from that point, she received all NEW e-mails from her @comcast account, and this time they weren't being deleted from the Comcast page.
She asked me to transfer all of her e-mails on O.E. to Entourage (just for archiving purposes, so Mail isn't over-cluttered with a near decades worth of e-mails).
I've tried several methods, but I can't figure out how to transfer the emails from O.E. to Entourage. After an hour, or two, I realized that her old settings on O.E. were set to erase the e-mails from the Comcast server.
All in all, I need to know..... how to transfer emails from O.E. (which are deleted from the Comcast server) over to Entourage.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Here's some possibilities:
Import Outlook Express (PC) emails into Mail
Mail.app - Importing from Outlook and Outlook Express
Moving emails from Outlook Express to Mac OS X
If you do some more Google searches you may find other possibilities. You may be able to export from OE to Thunderbird on the PC, move the Thunderbird data to the OS X version of Thunderbird, then move from Thunderbird to Mail. The advantage of Thunderbird is that you can export both email and contacts from OE.

D20 Windows Server 2008 R2 Setup Problem / 1x SATA HD / 4x SATA SSD

Hi all,
I've got a D20 Mod. 4155 and want to use beside it's default SATA hard disk four SATA SSD disks for virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of it's Hyper-V functionality.
I have aproblem with detecting the disks in OS setup. All 5 disks are visible in the BIOS setup of the Marvell Controller. it is possible to configure a RAID over the SSD etc., but I don't "see" any disk in OS setup. I tried to load additional drivers in the GUI part of the setup utility, but this didn't worked. I tried with the Marcell SAS driver and the Intel Matrix driver, both found at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.
Any suggestions for PC BIOS / Marvell BIOS / OS setup configurations?
Kind Regards, Chrischmi

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi all,
I found the solution on myself. After detecting, that the default disk is a SATA disk (and not SAS), I had the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the machine wit the disk attached to the Intel controller. After setup I went to Device Manager and installed the Marvell driver from Lenovo, switched the disk back to the Marvell controller and booted. Successful. Yeah!
On my way to the solution i had another problem: In the GUI part of Windows setup, I got a 0x80300001 error with the Intel SATA driver from Lenovo. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA disk with reason0x80300001. very helpful message, Microsoft! ,-) I decided to use the default Microsoft driver for the Intel SATA controller after a reboot. Setup run well, but ended with a 0x80070017 error and problems copying some (unknown) files. The solution (found after some hours...) was to burn a new Windows Server setup DVD. I don't want to talk about this anymore...

Re: I've lost windows key from Microsoft sticker

I have lost my windows key, which was written at the back of my laptop.
Actually it is not visible now as the maptop is more than a year old now.
Is there anyway I could refind it?

There are at least 3 posts on this forum including myself) about the successful re-installation of W7 using the laptops OEM key and a retail W7 DVD. This link [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/windows-7-oem-key-with-a-non-oem-disc/7788dfa2-94a7-4db3-8bcd-b0e109bd7b95] is the first one I found from a semi official source where a moderator of a Microsoft owned forum Carey Frisch states:
"Yes, you can use a regular Windows 7 retail DVD and a genuine Windows 7 OEM product key to perform a "clean install"> However, when it comes time to perform product activation, you'll need to use the "activate by phone" method." and at that point the 42 character key the laptop generates and you have to key in will no doubt tell microsoft that this is an an install on a machine with OEM Windows 7 (version) installed at sale.
The above doesn't apply to XP . There are programs like keyfinder thing3.exe that will display the installed W7 key and mine does match the OEM key on the laptop
