Not many users are aware of the folder structure which is followed in Outlook. Users are informed of the fact that Outlook functions the same way for all accounts irrespective of the particular mail service provider to which the account is linked. For example, a user linking a Gmail account to Outlook would not see any difference in the functioning of Outlook as compared to users linking their Hotmail account to Outlook. This is primarily due to the fact that the entire functioning of Outlook depends on a data file which is stored locally in the hard disk of the device used by the user to access the system.

As a result of this, most of the errors which users face while accessing Outlook is more of les connected to data file stored locally – be it the data file getting corrupt due to virus attack to the system, or the data file getting deleted by any chance or so on. Now, there are times when users have faced accessibility issues in opening and accessing the folders which are either system created or user created in Outlook. This error can be attributed to either the installable getting corrupt, or the linkage to the mail server getting stopped, or the data file being corrupt due to any reasons.

Hence, in such cases, users are required to rec-configure the connecting mail account to Outlook so as to check if there are any connectivity issues or not. In case the connection is successful, then users need to uninstall Outlook and install it again. This process would refresh the installation process, as well as re-create the data file in the local drive. Most of the issues get fixed by this option. As a rule of thumb, users should always make sure that they have the latest updated version of any anti-virus installed in the system so that there is no chance of any virus or malware attack.

The hotmail customer service technical support team can come in handy as well in such scenarios by helping customers on solving certain technical related issues which may hinder their experience of using Outlook. The team of experts can be accessed any time round the clock via their support platforms including the toll free customer support help line number, mail services, live chat options as well as via the social forum which is viral on social media. Users can put forward the issues which they are facing and discuss on the recent features which may have been added to Outlook.
