[Electronics-Talk] autofill and gmail?

Wed Nov 20 12:16:31 UTC 2019

		T		hank you Tom. 
I'd rather spend time in hell then call Microsoft. 
I think my real question is if there is a way to get some form of Outlook to retain the same data that is retained on the Iphone app and in the Gmail web platform? 
I find the gmail web platform clunky and prefer not to use it. 
I think better when my hands are on an actual old school keyboard which is why I'm trying to do this.

i absolutely dread calling Microsoft disabled tech support.  they are free and sometimes not worth the price.
if you call their level 1 tech is near basic and hit or miss, but when they can't solve it then push to get level 2 which calls you the next day pacific time Weekday:5 am to 9 pm Weekend: 6 am to 3 pm (800) 936-5900 tom

 Hi folks. 
My Outlook 365 ate my autocomplete field. 
Short of hoping people write me and me replying to them, is there any way to repopulate my autocomplete list? 
It boggles my mind because my autocomplete list is fine on my Iphone, I use the mail app that is native to the Iphone. 
I even installed the Outlook app for Iphone andmy auto complete works there too, it found addresses of people I have only emailed once. 
If I could get that list back into my desktop Outlook, I'd be very happy. 
Any ideas?

Subject: [Electronics-Talk] more about the flip phones

for anyone interested in flip phones, while I haven't gotten to see some of the phones yet, that I mentioned before, I know just a little more about the prices and which stores that are selling some of the phones. Before I begin to let you know what I've found out, Tracy, I hope your husband was able to find a flip phone that he's confortable with, and if Vince is on here I hope your wife is doing well with the dura xv. now here's the information about the phones that are pretty current now for flip phones of which most of these are for verizon:
The alcatel phone is used by verizon and they call it the alcatel V. The Alcatel is also used by  a t and t and they call it the singular flip.
Walmart has the alcatel for straight talk, and that might be what's called the go flip, and consumer cellular has the alcatel, which if I'm remembering right is the go flip. I've got the a t and t singular flip alcatel and the consumer cellular model of the alcatel, and they seem like the very same phone to me, they just have 2 different names for the carriers they belong too. Having both phones, I've gone through all the menues and everything is the same. There's 2 drawbacks about these alcatels, while I don't have these phones connected now, I didn't have the caller id on either one of them, and as far as writing any text messages or even setting up email in the phone in writing email messages, the symbols don't speek. If you don't do any texting, or you're not concerned with having caller id, and the number one important thing is having a phone that you could make and receive phone calls these phones are fine. I'm hoping to take a look at the verizon's alcatel to see if it's different in the way it was set up because usually on the verizon flip phones, it's set up where you can get to the symbols, numbers and other items very easily.
The etalk phone flip phone ins android operated, not probably quite the same software as what's in the android smart phones, the phone's voice is the same voice used for the smart phones, specifically I think it's the voice for talk back. It's a very clear sounding voice. As far as I know so far this phone is mainly a prepaid phone. It could be one of those things where you would use it for about 6 months and providing you paid your bill on time after the 6 months you would be able to go on to postpaid. Anyway you could get the etalk phone from walmart for about $19.99, and at target $29.99 and the prepaid is $40 a month, with tax it's $44.20. If you like to text you could do that with this phone, the left soft key options for the symbols aren't labeled but numbered, but when you go into them you could tell what each option is for. I haven't figured out how to label those options. I don't think this phone has email in it, unless you did it through the browser which may not be that easy to do. While the buttons are confortable to press, I've found I need to press the keys a little more firmly in away, if I do press them to light I won't here the menue items. It's something in away to get use too, it's just something you would have to try yourself.
again this phone is for verizon. I was calling around, and it seemed like mainly target and walmart sold the etalk and a few of the verizon stores had it.
The lg exalt, a verizon phone for $144, doesn't seem to be sold as much as the verizon stores any more, as much as before, and to get an exalt phone you would need to go into the store so the phone can be ordered for you. I'm thinking of buying another exalt and this is probably what I might have to do, before they no longer sell them. The exalt is my very favorite phone.
It's great for just a phone phone with caller id and making and receiving calls. and you've got it made with this phone if you're into any or some of the following, using the voice recorder, texting, setting up email, using the calendar, using the calculater, and using the notepad and alarm clock.
calling around I found a walmart that had the exalt.
verizon kyozera dura xv, and the sprint kyozera dura max, the rugged sturdy phone, a verizon phone costs $268 and is mainly sold at the verizon stores, and I think I found a walmart that had the phone. Sprint also uses the kyozera dura phone, but they call it the dura max and it costs $268. I haven't gotten to see this phone yet, but from what I hear it would be great as just a phone phone, making and receiving phone calls. If you use other items in the phone, most likely it would be great with recording with the phone or writing something in the notepad. Since I haven't seen the phone with the text to speech, I don't know how well it is to use the calendar, calculator and other items in tools.
Kyozera cadence is a verizon phone, for postpaid phone it costs $120, and for prepaid the phone would cost $29. The Cadence is mainly sold at the verizon stores, and for a while besides the verizon stores, they were also sold at target and walmart as postpaid phones, and also prepaid phones. The prepaid service is $30 and with the tax is $33.34.  It's great to have has a phone phone, making and receiving calls and has caller id. Texting is fine, using the voice recorder, and notepad is fine, the calendar could have been set up a bit better, the calculater is unusable due to the voice telling you the calculater menue any time you press a digit, and the measurement calculater isn't accessible. The world clock is fine, and the alarm clock is workable but could have been set up better.
The orbic journey V, a verizon phone  is $100. It's one of the phones that I haven't gotten to see yet, but I think a customer service person said it had android software in it, so I don't know if it's something like the etalk phone.
Consumer celular has to flip phones, the links phone, that I don't know if it has the text to speech in it, but if I'm remembering right it costs $29, and then the doro phone that does have the text to speech costs $50.
It's just a matter of calling around to see what's being sold where because the stores can really vary in what they sell. You could go on the browsers in these phones, but some are a bit easier to navigate than others, and you could actually play something like a youtube file. As far as all these phones I mentioned, I don't mind using the browser on the cadence. So that's just some of what I know, and when I get to see some of these phones that I haven't seen yet, I'll write back about that.
