Mail Stopped Receiving Windows Live Account

Mail was working great and then it stopped receiving new mail from my windows live account.
I have deleted the old account and created a new one with no success.
Any suggestions?

TS3276 can't download mail from windows live account. I have deleted and re-set up the account but still won't work. I can go online and access with no problem or get mail from other apple devices.

Not able to get mail from windows live account.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.

Windows Live account sync error 86000108

Got my Lumia working well except that Live does not sync, keeps flagging above error code -> calendar and contacts do not sync. My Live account works perfecto on my laptop. Hotmail is about empty, couple of emails from hotmail team, few hundred contacts.
I've tried all the instructions provided by MS support pages (turning mail on/off etc.), but error persists.
Do I really need to hard reset the phone in order to get it working..
Solved!

Hello oneFinn,
Sorry to hear you have had such an incovenience with your Windows Live account. But could you tell me if the below method help?
Go to this linkhttp://mail.live.com, sign in to your Windows Live ID. If prompted, finish setting up your mailbox.
Do the same inhttp://contacts.live.comsetting up your calendar if prompted and accepting Terms of Service in this linkhttp://account.live.com
On the phone, go to Start, flick left to the App list, tap Settings, and then tap Email & Accounts. Tap on Windows Live and re-enter your username and password information, and then tap Done.
On the phone, go to Start, flick left to the App list, tap Settings, and then tap Email & Accounts. Tap on Windows Live, tap Download email from, tap the last 7 days, and then tap Done.
If the issue persists try again later due to this may be related to a temporary service outage. This is better than hard resetting your phone where your data will be wiped. But if you do decide to reset the phone, rememebr to back your data up onto the cloud.

TS3276 mail stop receiving emails after os update

Since I updated my mountain lion, my mail stop receiving emails, I still got them on my iphone so i don;t know what's wrong with my mac. my chrome freezes and youtube videos start freezing as well.. there must be something wrong with the update!!

What happened when you took the steps suggested in the support article?

Need to change Windows Live account

Hi all,
The Windows Live account I entered at startup has been blocked after Hotmail told me I was entering the wrong password (turns out I was actually right all along!)
There's now an ongoing 'temporary problem' with resetting the account, so I need to change to a different WL account. I saw somewhere this can't be done.. surely this makes no sense? Can it be effected by doing a complete reset of the phone (Lumia 800) if it comes to that?
Because I don't seem to be able to access that account, I'm without email, updates and apps so far and counting!
AAAArgh!

Yes, I have set up another account with Live, but the phone keeps demanding me to sign in with the Hotmail account (no option to sign in with a different a/c) and I can't find a way of making @live.co.uk the default.

Windows Live Accounts for Company Phones?

Hi all,
I am hoping you can help.
At the company I work for we are enrolling Windows Phones as the Business phone but to get our Mobile Device management Software on we need access to the Windows Store.
I only need the Live accounts for the store. The users do not need individual Windows Live Accounts
I was wondering what is the best way to sign up 20+ phones so they can get apps from the store?
Any help would be appreciative
Thanks in advance,
Alex

The Windows Phone Store does require a Microsoft Account(MSA) to download apps. This can be either the end user's MSA or a company issued MSA. All MSA's have a 5 device limit on Windows Phone. If you plan to create your own MSAs, note the following:
Currently there is a limit that only 3 Microsoft Accounts can be created per day from the same IP Address. You can request an exception by using the following form:
https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?productKey=wlidipexc&ct=eformts&scrx=1
To submit a whitelist a request please have the following information available:
• Contact Name
• Contact email address
• Customer Name
• Customer Company Name
• Microsoft program the customer needs the exception for
• Company Domain(s)
• Public IP Address(es)
Temporary whitelisting of an IP lasts for 30 days. Whitelisting requests should be within 30 days of the final day of the planned event, but not any sooner, to make sure the IPs in question remain whitelisted through the entirety
of the event.

Could you elaborate on "tried everything"?
I am sure that you've already tried the

Same phone, different Exchange 2013 (ex. Office 365 account)

Mail stops receiving messages and then stops responding

I have been using mail for over a year now with no major issues, until now. When I open mail it appears to open fine, and then it automatically starts taking the accounts online. The progress bar shows that there are 200+ messages to receive, and it shows the data rate at about 100ish kb/sec. Once it hits around 60 "received messages" of the 200+ the data rate consistently starts dropping until goes to 0 kb/sec and I can no longer take any accounts on line or even quit mail. The program responds reasonably well, but when I select "quit mail" the window will disappear, but the program will not quit. The only way I can stop it is to force quit. The accounts I use are pop3 and gmail accounts. I thought that maybe it was one account that was messing me up so I removed the accounts systematically and none of them are working properly. I also have been using wireless, so I connected via ethernet, but the issue persists. Any help is appreciated.

Exact same problem here. I tried moving the index file to the desktop and reopening mail. It rebuilds fine but then this problem starts again. It is only with one account, a pop3 account. Gmail works fine. I've deleted all mail in that account via webmail. It still hangs even though there are 0 mails to receive. The indicator shows it is still trying - and that will go on forever. Quitting just like movie_man describes.
Disabling that account solves the problem - but reenabling it brings it back.
I have the accounts sync'd with iPod touch and another home Mac. It has worked fine for years and then this, suddenly.

Mail won't quite without "force quite" , Mail stops receiving emails after a while, not happy about MAIL's performance!!!! :(

I have massive problems with Mail.
I use mail at work and have 3 accounts running
1. Mac. mail account
2. Gmail mail account
3. Exchange Server
I have quite a few folders in my accounts where I have to archive my emails to.
Often very often or lets say annoyingly too often mail stops working.
- stops receiving emails
- emails I have put away in folders disapear in my inbox again
- if I try to quite Mail it won't I have to force it and then when I open it again all my emails I was working on open again even so I have sent them already.Also all the emails I have folded away are back in my inbox WHAT A WAIST OF TIME!!
I AM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT MAILS PERFORMANCE AT THE MOMENT! IT SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK!
Does anyone have the same problems and more importantly does anyone has a solution to this problem other then switching to Outlook???
Thank you!
Oliver

I have the "stops receiving mail" problem with Exchange. Sometimes I can open up the Activty window in Mail and stop the stuck processes. Other times I have to close then reopen Mail. I usually do the latter. A fix would be nice.
I wonder if your other problems are related to this. The actual process of relocating your messages is maybe queued up behind one of the stuck processes. Just guessing. I have not had that problem.

Hoping someone out there can with getting junk mail from my windows live mailbox ? on my iphone

Hoping someone could help me with getting junk mail from windows mail to my i phone?, i would only like to get my inbox mail

Are you accessing your Windoze Live account as a POP account or as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app?
If as a POP account, received messages that are in the account's Inbox at the incoming mail server will be downloaded.
If you are accessing the account as an Exchange account, all server stored mailboxes will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail app. If as an Exchange account, seems like you would want to have the account's junk mailbox available in case a legitimate message is incorrectly marked as junk and moved out of the account's Inbox mailbox.

Mail stops receiving messages after a period of time

Every since installing Mavericks my Mail app stops receiving messages after a period of time. I know because I get the email on my phone, but I try to grab them in Mail and nothing. If I restart Mail then they come through.
I'm using Gmail as my email provider. Is anyone else suffering with this? Is there a work around?

Workaround or not, this is an annoyance, and that's a nice way of putting it. Coming from Mountain Lion, when Mail was working flawlessly, having to deal with this issue is just plain ridiculous. What happened to the Mail application? I don't understand how Apple could screw this up to badly.
Every time I restart or reset the connection to the servers, the Mail app is downloading thousands of messages (I can see the display on the bottom-left). I have no idea what it's doing or why, for that matter. If Apple doesn't fix this soon, I will seriously be forced to look for an alternative, which saddens me greatly. I really like Mail, but if it cannot reliably get my mail simply because I've left it open too long, or hidden it behind another window, I will stop using it.
What's worse is that I've had similar issues with other applications like iPhoto and iTunes. Whatever is happening to Mail is probably not just application-specific. It's probably OS-specific. I hope Apple is working on it and that we will see a major update to Mavericks soon. All I know is that, right now, I'm seriously regretting upgrading to Mavericks.

Mail stops receiving messages

I'm having an odd problem with Mail in Mavericks that I haven't experienced in earlier releases of OS X.
On occasion, every few days, Mail will stop polling for new messages. I'll discover new messages have arrived by glancing at my iPhone and noticing that I may have several messages from several different mail servers all waiting for me. I'll then go back to OS X Mail and click the Get New Mail Messages button and suddenly they all show up.
These messages had been queued up on the two different IMAP servers, including iCloud, hours earlier but Mail simply didn't receive them.
I have tried chaning the "Check for new messages" preferences to Every Minute, instead of Automaticatically, but that hasn't helped.
I noticed that Use IDLE is checked by default for both IMAP servers. Is that the problem?
Thanks for any advice,
George
