Office 365 domains are static and made to “set it and forget it.” I’m glad the pages quickly load for visitors once you have everything edited. The editing interface is, in fact, so slow and so terrible, that I had to logout and login again each time I wanted to make a page change and force a save to the MSFT servers. Editing pages is a futile exercise in waiting for writes to the server. The design is flagrantly awful and boring. I have no idea how I’ll use this feature and I don’t like when I click on “Team” in my Office 365 account that I am taken to this Sharepoint site that gives me no link to return to my Office 365 experience.Ĭreating “forward facing” public websites in Office 365 is a tortuous experience. Sharepoint is a big Microsoft service that allows you to collaborate online.

I had to remove my “expired” E2 license associations and then add the E1 associations. It’s a little complicated to find and then apply these features, but if you don’t do that, you don’t get any services. Then you you click on the name of the user to associate a license with the user. You pick a domain for their email address. Right now, re-directs to until I get this deleted website thing straightened out on Sharepoint and then will redirect to .Īdding users is a little complicated. With verified, active, but not loading the website pages, I decided to take drastic action and stop using for my public website and use instead - yes that URL removes the pluralizing “S” at the end of the domain name creating a single identity and aura. When I tried to delete the domain, I was told by the system that the domain was already in use - even though it wasn’t. I guessed there was a problem with my canceled E2 plan and my new E1 plan and that was tying up my domain. The trouble with my E1 plan was that my old website domain - setup using Microsoft Sharepoint - would only load a blank page when people would visit.
With my Exchange email and E1, I would be paying $12.00USD a month - two dollars cheaper than the single-license E2 plan I canceled the day before.

It was then I decided I could upgrade to an E1 account, and keep my Exchange Only plan and give it to my wife as an email backup address for her, and I could have a website on Office 365 - good in case all my other websites go heels-up on Pair - and I didn’t need the useless, non-working, Office 2011 for Mac connection, so the E1 plan at $8.00USD a month would work for me.
I had my email working on again in no time and I super love Outlook online. I called Microsoft and, an hour and a half later, I hung up the phone, and I was back in - on my original account. I created whole new secondary account, but I could not verify my and domains because they were “already being used,” I guess, by my previously-cancelled E2 plan. When I tried to login to my account I canceled the day before, I was unable to login. I could just go with an “Exchange Only” email plan for $4.00USD a month instead.
I didn’t need the $14.00USD a month E2 plan. The new version of Outlook Online synched really well with Mac Office 2011. The next morning, I decided I really loved having Microsoft Exchange as my backup, online, email client. The MSFT agent told me I had a 90 day grace period to re-activate my subscription and all I had to do was to login to my account and start my subscription again.

I was offered two months free if I stayed, but I was so hazed out from trying to get Office 2011 to work that I just cancelled everything. I called MSFT to cancel my E2 subscription. I could not find a way to edit those files online.

I had to purchase Office 2011 for Mac from Amazon for around $160.00USD to get the plan to work, and while the 2011 version of Mac Office is 100% better then Mac Office 2008, I could in no way find out how to save my local Office files to my Office 365 setup. I first signed up for the Office 365 E2 plan - there are way too many plans to choose from - because I wanted to run Office on the web. This is the story of how it all played out. I was right and I was wrong to try Office 365. Last week, I signed up for Microsoft Office 365 and, even though I’m on a Mac, I thought the online email and team and website services would be a good and solid backup for the life I have heretofore entirely and exclusively run on Google Apps.
