Hey microsoft... I got this in the mail today. Is - is this legitimate?

It seemed pretty sketchy so I thought I'd ask you guys and bring it to your attention.

I think it's a scam.  On the one hand, he said a Tablet Android is "powered by Windows Embedded'.  Yes, good.

    I do not understand your question. Download IE8? Do you mean the installer for IE8? It's here.

    You try to install KB2618444? They make 3. For IE6, IE7, and IE8. You probably download one from a different version of Internet Explorer you have...
    I'm going to guess you really want that for IE8.

    Hello
     
    1. when exactly you get this error message?
    2. using Internet Explorer or email client?
     
    We did some research on this question, unfortunately could not find any information on the error message for Windows.

    This error occurs only if there is a problem with the e-mail service provider or if there are problems connecting to the server. If you use Google or Yahoo or any other service provider email, then please contact their support for more support team.

  • Cannot send Messages in the other e-mail account in the Mail of Microsoft Surface app

    I'm trying to set up a different e-mail account on my PC of Microsoft Surface in the Mail application.  Initially, I got the message ' to use this account, you must install a digital certificate on this pc... ».  I managed to fix that by disabling the "Server requires SSL" for both the incoming and outgoing server, which also changed the number of outgoing port 465 to 25.

    However, even though my account is now populated with and receive messages, I can't send all e-mail messages.  They just stay in my Outbox and the message " is not available" appears briefly in the upper right corner.  I've fiddled with the account settings (like changing the port to 587) but its made no difference.

    How can I get other outside e-mail accounts of my @outlook.com to work in the Mail application?

    I was able to find a configuration that worked:

    Incoming mail server: put your mail server normal but specify port 143 for Imap

    Uncheck the incoming SSL

    Outgoing mail server: put your mail server normal but enter the port 587 for Imap

    Uncheck the outgoing SSL

    Uncheck the box outgoing server requires authentication. (because Mail first checks the email, your server will allow you to send an email)

    After this configuration, save it, and then come back to check, since the first time I did it, he returned some settings, but after switching between them, it was ok.

    After doing this, messages have been sent and no more will not questions. I hope this helps.

    1. what web browser do you use?

    2. you only receive this error message when you access hotmail or other sites as well?

    3. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    If you use Internet Explorer, then you can uninstall Microsoft Silverlight from program & features. Subsequently, download & install the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight and check if the problem persists:

  • I am new to this. I do not understand what is meant by making Firefox my "default browser". I use gmail, and I have to open a session, each time I want to use the mail?

    I don't even know if there is an interaction between Firefox and gmail. I know it's a pain every time that I want to use the mail, I have to open a session. I didn't connect with Internet Explorer. My goal here is to take advantage of Firefox are reached do not SPAM etc. Where and how can I set up Firefox as my default browser, and what are the other benefits? Keep it simple, guys, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

    The "default browser" is that Windows uses to open links from other applications or the desktop shortcuts. If a browser is designated as the default does not affect the operation of pages web in the browser.

    Sites recognized generally that you are still connected by setting a cookie. When you install Firefox, it is configured to receive and fix these cookies. However, there are many ways for the cookies to be deleted, including:

    • Settings on the Privacy tab of the Options dialog box such as whether you want to accept cookies and how long they stay - privacy, and-not-track browsing history settings
    • Option erasure of history to the judgment (even if the function is called history of compensation, there are a few 10 or more categories of data, you can choose individually delete or keep)
    • Using the incognito feature - cookies last only as long as the camera
    • The modules focus on the protection of personal information that change the way are managed cookies - your system data does not display of these
    • External security, privacy or system cleanup software

    In your case, your "more details of the system" shows that you have set Firefox automatically start in private browsing mode. In this configuration, Firefox does not keep cookies between sessions, as long as the sites Web is concerned, the next time you visit you are a foreigner. It could invoke is if you or someone else with access to your computer went in the Privacy Options and value Firefox "never remember history".

    You should probably disable automatic private browsing, unless you can find an add-on to store cookies that you want to store between private sessions.
