Every two or three days without rebooting, Outlook cannot find the server.

25. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

This issue arose with Apple's Maverick's OS.

After two, three, or four days without rebooting the computer, Outlook begins to report the following error message every time it attempts to get mail from the server:

Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.

So, Outlook functions normally for several days and then something changes somewhere. Nothing has changed in Outlook's account settings. All other Internet accessing applications function normally.

Your assistance is appreciated.

Cheers,

Leigh

Pending DNS configuration for hours

12. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,
I setup my own domain to use with outlook and it has been pending for hours.
I've read this guide How to handle issues with MX Record or Pending DNS Configuration error?

I have checked the DNS settings with https://www.whatsmydns.net/ and everything is setup right.

Can someone help prove ownership?

I am struggling to verify my domain ownership.
I have modified the DNS settings ad best I could following the instructions provided, but my account on outlook.com is now suspended. 
Your service is Suspended. Please make the required DNS changes.

You can Cancel service or Edit mail settings

I have the following records: Some codes blanked for security
Can anyone tell me what DNS settings I have screwed up, and how I get my account un-suspended?

After three days,  my DNS settings for my custom domain is still pending.  I have tried everything,  all of the settings are correct.  There appears to be a lot of the same question.

My domain is listed under this email address in domain management,  can you help?

Thanks

DNS settings not proving ownership

30. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
My service says that it is: 
Pending DNS configuration

And then in Domain settings it says that:
Your service is Suspended. Please make the required DNS changes.

However all changes have been made and look to have propagated:
http://viewdns.info/dnsrecord/?domain=accountancyonline.com.au

Do I need to delete any of the other records for this to work properly?

Am I missing something here?

Please help as a suspended service is not good!

Thanks in advance :-)

I am not able to receive email on my domain email

14. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
I have recently configure an my domain email (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) )with outlook. Previously was using gmail, but as gmail shut down free service, i had to shift to outlook for the same.

I can send email successfully from this domain email in outlook. But when i try to send an email from another email to this domain email, it fails. 

So basically i am able to send the email from info email, but not able to receive any email in this.

May be there is some DNS settings that are missing, but i am not able to find it. If anyone can help with this, it will be great.

My current DNS settings are as below:

 A198.38.83.5

SkyDrive Stuck on Signing In

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

I seem to have become bitten by this dreaded issue, sadly.  When trying to sign on to SkyDrive, the screen is stuck on "Signing in..."

 

I have done the following so far:

1. Ensured that my DNS settings are 208.67.222.222 and 220.220.

2. Uninstalled/reinstalled SkyDrive.

3. Verified my Trusted Root Certificates are correct and valid.

4. I have collected the .CAB file.

5. Ensured that my IE settings are Medium-High.

5. Deleted my whole SkyDrive folder and started over by reinstalling the latest version.  (I also deleted %localappdata%\microsoft\skydrive\settings\)

 

 

I'm on Windows 8 and would really like to get this working.  Thanks in advance!
