Hello
Can somebody assist please. I transferred all my phone contacts from my Android phone to my Windows phone recently. All contacts including the "Notes" associated with the contacts transferred correctly. However, when I sync with Outlook.com, the notes
get truncated on Outlook.com. When I view the "Notes" on outlook.com, I can only see part of the notes, which is frustrating.
Does somebody have solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Some redirected/forwarded messages are going missing from Outlook.com - not in Junk, seems they never made it in by smtp ...
Creating a new thread as requested:
(I originally posted my comment here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-email/certain-emails-simply-never-arrive-at-my/140b9a77-5462-4ca1-819e-074fece717be?rtAction=1382189717032 as reproduced here)
I use a redirect service at my domain provider to forward emails to my mail service accounts. I currently have email sent to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** redirected to three accounts at gmail, yahoo and hotmail.
That gives me backup access and a way to access my mail via any of those providers.
I recently switched from gmail to hotmail/outlook.com as my primary provider, as I have a windows phone.
But some emails that I find in the gmail account and in yahoo, are not in hotmail at all.
Like Daniel I checked spam and junk folders - and I am sure that the issue is that some emails never arrive in hotmail at all.
In the other mail vendors I can see the emails and that the relay at pipex.net / 123-reg.co.uk has passed the email on properly.
One of the lost emails was a personal email from a friend sent from a hotmail account earlier today.
As far as I know the senders do not get an error - and I have not yet found any pattern. But the even occasional loss is enough to make Outlook.com unreliable.
I recently switched from gmail to hotmail as primary service, as it has better integration with Outlook 2010 and my Windows Phone, but will need to switch back as losing messages is not acceptable.
(I chose not to assign my domain handling to my email providers but to keep that separate.)
BTW, I access hotmail by windows phone (using MAPI) browser and on windows 7 via Outlook 2010 client using MAPI interface. They all show the same emails - and I am sure that the issue is in SMTP reception at your servers.
Without wanting to brag I used to work in ISP email, and I understand headers, email envelopes and rate limiting and blocklists etc. I would be happy to work with you or colleagues if you want to investigate.
I have at least two examples - including one message originally sent from hotmail.co.uk today.
It went via my domain redirect, and was delivered to my yahoo and gmail accounts - but is missing from hotmail.com. *I can quote details including message ID and time if required.*
Another example was sent last month from ntworld.com (aka Virginmedia - whose email now provided by gmail. Later some other messages from that same correspondent were delivered properly.

My Sydrive calendar was deleted online after upgrading my Windows phone.
Upon synching, somehow, a 2nd Hotmail account was created that put duplicate entries into my phone's calendar right next to the original entries.
I deleted all the duplicate Hotmail2 entries, and the originals remained on my phone.
However, when I turned the phone on the next day, ALL my calender entries had disappeared... years worth of birthdays, meetings, anniversaries, to do's, etc.
How can I get them back?

I have my phone set so that all my photos and vids automatically go to Skydrive. My photos are there, but my videos show up as photos/jpeg files. How can I get them to upload as videos on Skydrive? I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop and trying to view
the videos there.
Below you can read the answer of the two dopes who work on this site. One, Marvelous Merc, informs me that there is a limit to how many emails I can send out -- BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SEND A SINGLE EMAIL from this account which was blocked since
inception. The 2nd numbnuts sends me back to the help desk which I have been trying to get help from since the beginning -- to no avail at all. Meanwhile, all somebody has to do is unblock my account which was blocked for absolutely no good reason, as there
was no unusual activity on the account -- I just started it! UNREAL. I am returning my windows phone that started all this, I mean, if these idiots make it so difficult to open an outlook email account, imagine how they will screw up phone support.
My Account has been Blocked for three weeks -- GREAT JOB HOTMAIL!
I recently bought a windows phone, and I set up a hotmail account for this phone shortly after, maybe 3 weeks ago. For some strange reason, Outlook temporarily blocked my account, citing unusual activity. I don;t see how this is possible, since I just
started the account and never used it. They sent me to verify my account with a phone number. Unfortunately, the geniuses who set up this phone verification do not consider Sierra Leone, where I am, to be a country, and so I cannot verify my account, which
3 weeks later is still blocked. I have sent numerous emails to the help desk, and recently I got this answer from MERC, who is an advanced specialist. This dunderhead tells me that there is a limit to how many emails I can send at the start of an account
(see below). However, I have not been able to send a SINGLE email from this account, since they blocked it almost immediately. Today, I get another message from Hotmail advising me to verify my account -- which of course I have done many times and can;t because
the experts at Hotmail do not recognize that Sierra Leone, in West Africa, is a country.
All they have to do is unblock my account, which I have asked them to do many times. But that would be too simple for the advanced support team that includes Marvelous Merc. Have never had anything similar happen to gmail accounts. Now i regret buying
a windows phone -- as who knows how lousy that support system is?

I am Merc, I'm a Senior Support Analyst for Microsoft. I am part of the Outlook.com Support Escalations Team.
We apologize that your country is not listed on the country list to verify your account through your mobile phone. You can send a feedback regarding this on
this page.
Regarding the sending limit, you will have to continue using the account but please note that since your account is new, there is a daily limit to your sending capabilities.
Continue using the account to increase your reputation and this limit will increase.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Thanks!
Merc

I can receive and read emails without issue. However, I can not reply to received emails, nor can I send new emails. I have the same problem whether accessing my account through a web browser or my Windows phone.
If I try to send/reply, I almost immediately receive a reply from "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" with the subject "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)". The body of the reply states: "This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Delivery to the following
recipients failed."
This same message is received no matter the addressee. Please help!
