Windows Live Mail FAQ
Two days ago, on my Visa laptop, I renamed 337 image files in a folder and added 54 new images. The changes were quickly sync'd to my SkyDrive.
However, 2 days later, my Win 8 PC still tells me it is "downloading 348.9MB of 523.8MB, 73 files remaining".
How do I shock SkyDrive into finishing the sync so I can work with the image files on my PC?
The changed files vary in size from 75Kb to 4.5Mb.
Hello
My words and excel files in skydrive folder.
If i open word or exel files and enter new words in word and excel files then i save them in excel or world, they will be sync automatically ? I mean that my updates from world and excel will be sync automatically ? Or should i copy and paste from other folder for sync ?
Thanks.

I have been using Outlook 2010 on my desktop and a Surface for months now. I also sync my Live calendar with my iPhone. [I also sync an iCloud mail account and contacts, no problems there.] All mail and calendar items were syncing fine across devices until last week. Since then I am getting multiple errors:
1) send/receive error: 'Live reported error 0X8004102A - error synchronizing folder hierarchy.' Also error code 0X800CCE05
2) after these errors occur, calendar items do not sync from my desktop to Surface or iPhone, but calendar items sync from Surface and iPhone to desktop. I have no errors in Outlook on my Surface.
3) My calendar status bar shows 'Limited connectivity.'
I have found a few posts with limited suggestions but nothing has worked. I have deleted the .ost file several times but the errors begin again hours or a day later. I have deleted and re-opened my Live account and still get these errors.
Kind of ridiculous that Outlook suddenly can't sync to Microsoft's own mail server. Any suggestions?
Windows8 & WindowsPhone8 has resulted in a problem with my ******@msn.com account that I have been using since 1995.
Tablet & PC:
Outlook.com will sync the Mail, Calendar & Contacts upon initial setup/install or reset. After that outlook.com will NOT sync the Mail. It will however, sync the Calendar & Contacts.
This has been the case since the launch of Windows8. Mail did sync in the Windows8 Developer Preview my Asus EP121.
Nokia920:
Outlook.com has synced flawlessly since the launch of the Nokia920.
On the morning of Friday August 9th something happened. I notice the phone was hot and the battery was almost dead after an hour. Under Settings/email+accounts, the Microsoft account ******@msn.com was continuously syncing. This drained the battery. Upon plugging in the charger, the red battery alert displayed and continued to display till Saturday night. Outlook.com's syncing drained the battery as fast as it could charge. The phone was unusable Friday and Saturday. I did a soft reset to no avail. I then did a hard reset. The spinning cogs spun all Saturday evening and night till Sunday morning. Once I signed into Microsoft account ******@msn.com it started to sync. Only the Calendar and Contacts were successful. Mail tries but will not sync.
I have now spent uncountable hours trying to find a fix. I went to the Microsoft Store in Toronto and basically was told that I am SOL.
Is it something unique to my ******@msn.com account? I removed my sim card and installed my wife's sim from her iPhone. I did a hard reset (Settings/about/reset your phone) and same thing, Mail will not sync. My wife has a ******@Hotmail.com account.
I then opened a new Microsoft account ******@live.com. I did a hard reset (Settings/about/reset your phone) and signed in under my new ******@live.com Microsoft account. I then added my ******@msn.com email account. I tried in both the 'Outlook' and the 'Hotmail'. Only Contacts and Calendar are successful. I have tried numerous other ways and configurations to no avail.
Is there any way that someone at MS can look at my ******@msn.com account? Maybe there is a problem with @msn.com regarding it's mail server or router or cables or software or settings at your end.
It is such a shame. The Windows8 eco-system is by far the finest. I have convinced so many companies, friends and relatives to adopt. Without exception, everyone that I have demonstrated the window8 eco-system to ask, 'why doesn't anyone know about it?'.
