0x800488EB error message

08. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

I'm unable to send or receive emails through Windows Live Mail.  The problem started within the last 3 hours as I had sent and received several emails earlier this morning.  I was alerted to the problem when I noticed that I had received several emails on my mobile device that had not been delivered to my desktop client so I clicked "update all" and got the 0x800488EB error message.  I then shut down and restarted Windows Live Mail, no help, then restarted my computer, also no help.  I then logged in at Outlook.com, the new emails were there and I was able to recompose and send a time-sensitive email that was in the outbox of my desktop client.  I then deleted that email from my outbox and tried "update all" again to no avail.  What next?

Thanks,

Lewis

Skydrive stopped connecting on Windows 8.1 pro

03. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hello,

I am encoutering a problem that my Windows 8.1 pro stopped sync today (it was fine until now). I am receiving a message under PC settings - SkyDrive - File storage that "Sorry, we couldnt connect to SkyDrive. Please try again later, or go to SkyDrive.com to change settings". As I proceeded to my account on SkyDrive.com, everything is normal.

Some things you might ask.
1. My Windows 8.1 pro is logged in with the same windows live account.  Unter PC settings- Accounts I can only pick "Disconnect", which means I am properly logged in as usual.
2. I have another Windows 8 pro laptop running a desktop client version of Skydrive, which is still working perfectly.
3. I cannot possibly delete and reinstall SkyDrive on windows 8.1 pro since I have never downloaded any desktop client.
4. Because there is no desktop client on windows 8.1 pro, I cannot change anything on the web version of SkyDrive under PCs on the left (I actually dont see my windows 8.1 device under PCs since the first day I am using it).
5. My windows 8.1 is connected to the internet properly, no proxy.
6. SkyDrive Sync Engine continues to run and doesn’t crash at all.
7. The issue happens on all folders and files.
8. No any sorts of error icon or pop-up.
9. Cannot possibly reinstall since I have never installed Skydrive client. it just came with windows 8.1 pro.

Can somebody help me please.

Thanks

Mail Client won’t send as Outlook Alias.

09. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,
I have:
Outlook.com account with 1 alias (I didn't come from hotmail) 
Apple Mail desktop client.
iPhone
 
In the past my desktop mail client allowed me to check mail individually from different addresses from gmail, yahoo, etc. and reply from that same address via a drop down menu.  I'm guessing because of the structure of an alias vs. linked accounts though this has not been the case for outlook.com.

When I select to send from my alias address in the desktop mail client it sends and shows that it sends from the alias address.  But when I go to outlook.com and check it actually never sends from my alias address as it should, but it sends from my primary address.  It's really confusing for customer service people who have multiple cases open for me because of the different email addresses showing up.

Would someone be able to provide a workaround for this?  Right now the alias setup vs. the linked account setup is becoming more of a pain to work with my desktop client and my phone.

Thanks a ton for your help!

Skydrive for Actual Business Use – Multiple Employees

07. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
So I have a question about trying to use Skydrive for sharing to multiple employees in a real small business situation.

#1 - Can all employees run the Skydrive client and be logged into the same account? This would allow for the desktop client to easily share and replace files. I just do nto see this working or it having issues with 8-15 employess trying to share the same content

#2 - What is the best way you have found to setup sharing with multiple employees?

#3 - Have you had issues?

#5 - As an example - If I open a Skydrive account for the company - pay for the 100gb account and upload my files, will my 8-15 employees be able to see them only on the web interface? Or can they all use the Desktop client also?

#6 - Can we easily control what is shared with each employee - as some do not get admin files etc.. which can all be located in one folder and locked to specific users only?

Any help or ideas would be great..

Thanks




why do all emails from outlook.com show Unknown Sender?

26. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I use WLM as my desktop client. I am now switching my emails from Comcast.net to outlook.com. I notice that any emails retrieved from outlook.com have a yellow banner across the top saying Unknown Sender. I then pick Allow Sender.

Archive Folder Not Syncing Via IMAP On Outlook.com

22. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
I've successfully setup the new Outlook.com IMAP functionality on a number of desktop client (Mail.app, Thunderbird, Opera Mail) and in all instances, the Archive folders fails to sync.

Is this a known bug? Am I supposed to configure something under Options? Please tell me what I'm doing wrong since this severely limits the usefulness of IMAP (can't get to all my old messages).

Thanks.

online but fails to sync after resume

18. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

Hi,

 

I am using Skydrive the desktop client on a Windows 8 tablet (Samsung 500T).  The skydrive client appears to be connected and reports my local skydrive folder is up to date yet it does not sync new changes unless I exit and restart the desktop client.  It appears to happen after Windows 8 resumes.  All internet and other applications work fine.  The skydrive client will appear as if it is connected and monitoring changes but it is not.  This has gone on for quite a while now and now I always exit/restart every time I resume when I know it is out of sync.

 

The desktop client used to work fine.  I can't say what has changed other than new Windows updates.  I don't know if skydrive client has updated recently either.

 

What can I do to assist in figuring out the problem.

Exchange Server, Outlook 2007 desktop client, and Samsung Galaxy S4; How to refresh the Outlook inbox when an e-mail is read from the Galaxy S4.

28. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:

Hi.  I use the MS Outlook 2007 desktop client to manage my Exchange account e-mail.  My question involves the Microsoft Outlook 2007 desktop client and the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone.

 

When I read new e-mail from the Outlook desktop client, the phone updates the correct e-mails with the status "read."   However, when I read an e-mail from the Galaxy S4 phone, my Outlook desktop client inbox does not update the corresponding e-mail's status to "read".  I haven't been able to find a setting to correct this.  Selecting "Device has priority" from the "In case of sync conflict" does not resolve the issue.

 

Deleting an e-mail from the phone DOES delete the e-mail from the desktop client.

 

Any ideas? 

Sync issue with outlook.com android app and outlook desktop client

15. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
I had configured my outlook.com account for Outlook android app  (android 2.2) and outlook desktop client (MS office 2007 suite) on windows 7.

When android app is in sync with web mail, desktop client is not downloading the new mails. Means if my android app get synchronized first with web mail, then my desktop client is not downloading new mails.

If my desktop client get syn first, then there is no issue,mails get downloaded on both the platforms

Problems editing SkyDrive docs offline with Office 2013

07. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hi,

I've always used SkyDrive in the past (not SkyDrive Pro) to sync my personal docs across my computers, tablet, phone etc.  I use the desktop client which acts just as a folder on my PC.  In the past I have been able to use my laptop offline to edit docs in the skydrive folder on my PC (just as if they were local files), and then when online again it would automatically sync the changes and I would have access to the updated files across the web and other PCs.  This was with Office 2007.

I recently however got Office 2013 on a new machine running windows 8.  I've got the skydrive desktop client on the laptop, but when I work on a file in skydrive while offline, when I save and exit I always get asked by the Upload Centre: would I like to 'discard changes' or save to a different location on the harddrive.  If I 'discard changes' then when I reconnect to the internet, my edits are lost.  However, strangely, if I create a new file while offline, save to skydrive and exit, and select 'discard changes', the new file does seem to sync to skydrive and hence across my devices.

The upshot is:  with Office 2013 and SkyDrive desktop client, I can create docs offline which will sync, but cannot edit docs offline to sync.

This was not a problem with Office 2007.  If it is an issue with the Upload Centre I would be happy to disable or remove it if there is a way.

Thank you for your help.
