Syncing read emails on iphone 5 not always happening when read on laptop

30. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

This was a problem about 6 months ago when I started using Outlook.com. I would have some emails not sync as being read on my iphone, when read on my laptop. I posted about this and a short time later it was all working great and has done so for about 6 months. Now in the last few days all of a sudden I'm getting emails not showing read on my phone after reading on my laptop again. It's not all of them , just every so often not syncing.

This is just annoying and the reason I love exchange sync is not having to go through things twice.

I'm using IOS native email on iphone 5, and WLM on laptop

Thanks

Hotmail/Outlook.com sync issues with iPhone

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

Hi there,

 

I have been experiencing an issue for the past few months where Outlook.com on the web and email through the native app on iPhone are out of sync.  I have emails that have been read on Outlook.com but appears not read on my iPhone 5 device.  This is especially true if I do a mass "mark read" when viewing it on Outlook.com on my computer.  However, if I read an email one at a time, it appears to sync just fine.

 

I have also performed a reconfig by deleting the account off the iPhone and readding it and the emails sycn up fine initially but will behave the same once I perform a mass "mark read" in Outlook.com on my computer.

 

I have seen other posts with sync issues where Microsoft support has done something to the account to resolve it.  Can I get help with mine?

 

Thank you,

John

Sync Outlook 2011 for Mac to iPhone 5 via iTunes 11

I am considering upgrading to Itunes 11, but before doing so I want assurance that I can still use iTunes 11 to sync my calendar, address book and notes from Outlook 2011 for Mac to my iPhone 5.  Can this be done without any problems, etc.

Currently I am using iTunes 10.7 and all is syncing fine.

retrieving old emails on iPhone 5 problem

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

I have an iPhone 5.  I have my hotmail account linked so I can retrieve my email and it works fine.  The only problem I have that I need to get fixed is that I can only view and retrieve emails from the last 3 days.  It seems to delete the emails once they are 3 or so days old.  I have hundreds of emails in my inbox, but on my iPhone I need help to view and retrieve old emails.  I have checked every setting in the phone and still have not figured it out. 

 

Also, I deleted the Hotmail acct from my phone and set it back up with no luck.  I also did a full backup to iCloud, did a hard reset of the phone, and did a restore from iCloud.  Still no luck

 

 Please help.

Hotmail Folders missing!

27. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , ,

Hi,

I recently purchased an iphone 5 which downloaded all my hotmail folders. Examination of the folder showed they were empty. I deleted them from the Iphone and now noticed they have been deleted from my hotmail account. I regularly access my account. They shouldn't have deleted them from hotmail account but they have. I have tried to recover the deleted folder but without any luck is there anyway of getting them all back?


Formatting problem on contact Notes during sync Iphone, Contacts and outlook for mac 2011 on a mac book

24. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

I am using an Iphone 5, and a Mac Book Air on OS X 10.8.2. I use Outlook for Mac as my default contact book, and when ever my notebook is opened,  I manage all my contacts, write notes on these contacts in Outllook. 
When I connect my Iphone to Itunes for synchro, I get all my contacts and notes updated on the Iphone without troubles.
However, when I edit and change a mail address or add a note on a contact from the Iphone, and then perform a sync, there comes the troubles.
When I look at the result on Outlook, I see that all the formating on the notes have gone.

The problem is really happening in between the CONTACTS application on the Mac book and the Outlook application for mac.
Outlook is able to successfully pass its notes formating to Contacts but does not recognize the format on the way back from the Contacts application.

There must be a solution to this problem as all these application are made for Mac OS, or if not, it must be on a priority list of updates to come.
Very frustrating and time consuming to have to reformat all these notes. 
Would welcome any solution to fix this problem. 

Please let me know.
