On My New Email Address

[danieldwilliam]

Today’s technical achievement was setting up a new email account, a new google calendar and then working out how to show my new personal google calendar on my work Outlook calendar and also that I can invite myself to things and therefore put the appointment in both calendars. Clunky, but workable.

I can’t sync across the two calenders yet, because my works IT security won’t let me run the google sync programme on my work computer and I don’t have dial in access to my work account from home at the moment.

I’m hoping that the new email account will be more robust to the hacking attempts on my hotmail account and won’t, therefore, keep stopping from working on my iPhone.

I hope having a more flexible calendar on my phone will allow me to keep myself better organised.

And this will be good for my mental health.

(And with thanks to Andrew Ducker for his assistance on this.)

I've been using G=Mail since it was called Google Mail, and no hacking problems yet.

Me either.

Although I have switched on their two-factor security, which makes life slightly more complex, but means that even if someone steals my password they can't get into my account without my phone too!
