I have had an Outlook.com account for a couple of years (the free one), and I finally upgraded to E1 earlier today. I finished setup at around 11 am, and it is now 6:45 pm, and my account is still not ready. I have never had an email account take more than 20 minutes to finish migrating. What is happening here?
The setup went smoothly, with the DNS redirection not raising any errors. I did select the option to move my Outlook.com email to E1. I have about 2 GB worth of existing emails, just under 1000 contacts and a moderately used calendar. Nothing that should hang a capable server. Your help is much appreciated.
