Re: Microsoft Privacy
Whereas my next tablet will probably be an iPad, because I'm sick of every crappy app wanting access to all my stuff with no choice other than to allow it or not install the app. Android permissions are a disaster.
I also hate the way Gmail harvests addresses from every email I've ever sent or received, and lists all those addresses when I start typing, instead of just the ones I've specifically flagged as contacts that I might actually want to respond to.

Re: Microsoft Privacy
Is Hotmail any better than Gmail?

Re: Microsoft Privacy
Personal preference. I have one of both. I use Hotmail (now Outlook.com) for my main email and Gmail as a secondary. both have their pros and cons. I find Hotmail has a cleaner interface that is easier to use than Gmail, while Gmail has some nifty features like aliasing, meaning you can use [email protected] as a different email for sites and such, and filter the email based on said alias. But most people don't need that.
If you are on Gmail and like it, great. If you are on Hotmail/Outlook and like it, great. Its a draw IMO

Re: Microsoft Privacy
Two factor authentication is key if you use your email account for important stuff. Not sure if hotmail/outlook does that. Gmail definitely does.

Re: Microsoft Privacy
Gmail does not play nicely with Outlook.
If you want or need the full functionality of Outlook you're way better off using the Outlook connector for Outlook.
Gmail calendaring is absolutely useless on Outlook.

Under General tab, change radio button to second option.
Create contacts for auto-complete:
When I send a message to a new person, add them to Other Contacts so that I can auto-complete to them next time
I'll add contacts myself
The autocomplete feature is extremely valuable personally speaking, couldn't live without it.
