If in Outlook 2010 (with Hotmail Connector) I delete all messages older than 2013 will these messages be removed from Outlook.com?
Moderator's note: this post and its replies were added to a thread about configuring Yahoo accounts in outlook.com. Because this problem seems to be a different one, it's been moved to its own thread.
I too am having the exact same problem described here. Nothing to add. I just wanted to sign up so that I will be notified when/if someone comes up with a fix.
My client is using Outlook.com. On her W7 PC she uses Outlook 2010 with the Hotmail Connector. Every day or two she finds herself again unable to send or receive email. I remote in, open OST file in SCANPST and it has errors. After several passes -- 2 with no errors -- I open Outlook and mail is flowing again. Wait a day, same problem all over again.
Chkdsk finds no problems with the HDD. HD Sentinel reports no problem with HDD, either.
Would her having a number of folders in the Inbox cause problems when syncing with Outlook.com? She has a number of folders in the root of the account, too. Can Outlook.com and Hotmail Connector tolerate folders Outlook's Inbox?
The OST file is about 6GB with 29K messages.
I exported all mail from 2012 and older to a PST file, then deleted them from the OST file. I moved the subfolders from the Inbox to the root of the account.
I checked the OST file using SCANPST and again there are errors. Fixed them. I then opened Outlook and started looking for a way to compact the OST file. Looked in all the usual places for compacting PST and OST files but found no such option. My suspicion is that it's not possible with Hotmail Connector and/or Outlook.com. Is this correct?
So, I left Outlook running overnight in hopes that the many deletions and folders moves will be sent to Outlook.com. I'm also hoping that the OST file will shrink of its own accord because I read somewhere that that's supposed to happen.
If none of my suppositions about the cause of OST corruption are valid, any suggestions?
Since last Windows update I've been unable to synchronize my Outlook 2010 with my Hotmail.
It tells me to update Outlook connector, which I have already done (6123.5001).
When I try the update routine in Outlook through the file menu - nothing happens.
I've tried to run as administrator, and the uninstall-install of connector.
I am running system 8 PRO
Outlook 2010, sent e-mails go to the outbox and stay their, contacted internet provider all passwords and account setting are correct, re-installed the
program same thing (I can receive but not send) any suggestions
I set up my gmail account as an extra inbox in Outlook 2010 using their IMAP settings and set up my newly created outlook account using the instructions found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2735989/en-us
After that, I've been manually moving each folder from gmail to outlook.com and waiting for Outlook 2010 to sync with the network.
Unfortunately, a couple of hours ago I received the following errors when Outlook 2010 was attempting to sync:
Task '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***' reported error (0x80041003) : 'The server reported a temporary error. Error: 5102. Server. Exception occurred in LoadProfileStore.
Task '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***' reported error (0x8004102A) : 'Error with Send/Receive. There was an error synchronizing your folder hierarchy. Error: 80041004.'
I then attempted to log onto my outlook account and could only see this message:
Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Outlook right now
When I clicked the link to report this to Microsoft, I also checked the Status History. I see there was a problem with Outlook today:
October 2013
However, it is also telling me that this problem was resolved. Does anyone know if there is a problem with outlook.com or if this is specific to my account? Any help is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advanced.
