Outlook folders not syncing

04. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I use an imap account to sync my email account between a laptop, pc, iPhone and iPad. The laptop uses Windows 8 and the pc uses Windows 7. The problem: I noticed that some sub-folders on the laptop were not syncing with the pc. I checked the imap settings and found that those folders were not “subscribed”, so I subscribed and did a send and receive. The result was that the folders (along with all of the emails in them) disappeared from all of my devices; they were not even in deleted items! Can anybody shed any light on why this happened and how to avoid it in the future please? I don’t back up the Outlook account separately as I assumed that syncing with the server was my backup! But is there anyway of going back to Outlook as it was a few days ago? The laptop uses Office 2013 and the pc uses 2010. Thanks for any help or advice that you can provide.

Calendar appointments will not delete from online calendar or phone after deleting from desktop Outlook

I have Outlook 2010 on my laptop. I use Outlook Connector to sync my calendar to my Nokia 510 Windows Phone (via my Hotmail online account). When I delete calendar items from my laptop, then "send / receive" to synchronize, the items do not delete from my online calendar nor from my Windows Phone. However, I am able to add a new item and it will sync online and on my phone. I would like to have old items no longer on my laptop calendar delete from my online calendar and my phone.

After reboot skydrive stops running

Hello

 

The skydrive app stops running if I restart my laptop. It will not upload anything I put into the local folder on the laptop, the tick marks disappear and there is no icon in the notification area. If I reinstall the app everything will quickly work again until the next time I reboot my laptop. Anyone who can help with this problem?

Client/Server sync causing Exchange Databases to Dismount (yikes!)

11. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
Greetings All,

Outlook 2011 v 14.3.7
Exchange 2010 Version: 14.03.0146.000

I have two laptops (both running OS 10.8.4), both running Outlook (version above), both with my user account.

Laptop 1 - Outlook runs fine, syncs with no errors, can send/receive, etc.
Laptop 2 - is new.  Installed Office with all updates (version above).  Added my Exchange account (using same settings as laptop 1).  After a few minutes of syncing data from Exchange, I begin to get hundreds of errors relating to 'exceeding message size', can't find item on server, etc.  Most importantly, these errors are DISMOUNTING my databases on the Exchange server which is a no no.  All users than can't access email.  Once I quit my Outlook client, server is fine and well.

I tried rebuilding my user database on the laptop.  Same result.
I tried deleting and re-adding my account.  Same result.
I ran a detect and repair errors on my user account.  Same result.

Desktop 3 - Also, I am running Outlook 2010 for PC with my user account, with no issues.

So considering Laptop 1 and Desktop 3 run fine, I know my user account (server side) is fine.  It's Laptop 2, something on it is causing this wonky sync.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

My windows 8 order and Office 365 subscription do not show when I log in via a laptop, but they do when I log in via my mobile. How can I access my order details through my laptop

So, last night I was installing the app on my android phone for Office 365, logged into microsoft and I can see my subscription and previous orders. However, today when I logged in via my laptop, it states I haven't made any orders !?! 

How can I get my account to recognize what I have purchased, because I am trying to re-install Windows 8 (Which I purchased this year) back on my laptop.

How to open .eml files in my Windows 7 laptop without using Outlook?

Original title: Older e-mail program vs Outlook to open old mail.

 

I save many e-mails that relate to my volunteer work, and I save them in regular windows folders rather than folders on the e-mail program page.

 

This has worked fine on 2 desktops using Windows XP.  I can open any of these files ending with .email or .eml if the email program that is started by clicking the envelope icon on my home MSN page.

 

However, after moving some of these files to my laptop which runs on Windows 7, trying to open one of these files brings up a wizard that wants to modify my account to use Outlook as my e-mail program. That may be fine for my laptop, but will this screw up my desktops which use XP and the older mail program which is probably just one step away from Hotmail? 

Skydrive says its ‘up to date’ but I know it’s missing files.

I am running skydrive on two Toshiba Portege laptops running Windows 7.  It used to sync between them seamlessly.  Lately, when I save something on one of the laptops, it uploads it to the Web Skydrive, but doesn't automatically download to the 2nd one. Even when I upload something directly to the Web Skydrive it won't sync with the 2nd laptop.  In addition, when I make changes to a file in my skydrive on the 2nd laptop, the cloud icon on the task bar reads that it's looking for changes, but it never actually updates the Web Skydrive.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skydrive on the 2nd laptop, but that hasn't helped.  I think that maybe I'm not completely wiping all of the data when I uninstall it, but I don't know how to do so other than from the control panel.

recover lost data due to sync problem

28. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
I lost some data while skydrive was syncing between 2 different computers. Here's the scenario:
On my main desktop it is set to sync all files between pc and skydrive, on my laptop I only selected the current folder I was working in.
Problem seems to be, the laptop settings seemed to overide the PC and skydrive started syncing with the laptop by removing all the other folders.
I have checked the recycle bin in web based skydrive and the folders that are effected are there, but all empty. Is there any way to recover this very important data?

What I don't understand is, why did the laptops sync preferences effect the PC's sync status?
