I’ve seen a few people talking about outlook.com and how it’s working. There aren’t many insights here but there are a couple.
- Images are not always showing up from all senders.
- There are two different “safe” sender lists: one for individuals and one for mailing lists.
- If you log in with a live.com account address (rather than a hotmail address or instead of creating a new outlook.com address) that email address will be used in the From line outbound mail. This has been causing SPF problems for a some people.
- Outlook is not signing with DKIM
- Outlook is authenticating with SPF (not senderID)
What have other people been seeing in terms of problems, issues or quirks with Outlook? What do you like about it?

Look, MS, you’re try to gain back users from G-Mail (like me), but with these deficiencies its not possible right now, sorry. Even the People section (Mail Contacts) don’t have Check or Select All!
Be intelligent, copy all of the features of the best and popular mail provider like G-Mail, and adapt first! Then present better working solutions to the people. By doing so other mail providers will continue to fight with better replies to you, then the users will have the excellent mailing opportunities…
Any ideas?
Thank you!
