Microsoft Account/s and Outlook 2013
Please advise on this scenario:
John's email is hosted on a Smarter Mail Server [email protected]
John buys a new Windows 8.1 laptop with Office 365 installed and signs into his Microsoft account using his email address
[email protected]
He gets an Outlook.com account [email protected]
He sets up Outlook to connect to his Smarter Mail server via IMAP
He adds his old Outlook 2010 PST data file archives to Outlook 2013
John's Windows Phone was set up by the phone shop last year with a different Microsoft account
[email protected] where all his contacts are stored
He adds an Exchange Active Sync account to Outlook 2013 to get his contacts from
[email protected]
This is causing all sorts of problems. OST file errors. Incompatibility with Outlook 2010 PST files. Non-syncing of contacts etc.
How can John get all his mail, contacts and apps into one account across all devices - preferably his main Microsoft account
[email protected]
He does not want emails labelled "Sent on behalf of"
Per your post, this should be the Topology, right?
In general, this operation is normal and wouldn't cause the issue you list. However, we still occur the following issue:
1. OST file errors.
2. Incompatibility with Outlook 2010 PST files.
3. Non-syncing of contacts etc
For one, IMAP and EAS profile also use OST file as the data file. The problem appear since you add the Windows Live account into your profile, so I guess the root of issue is caused by Windows Live associated OST.
For two, please view this:

Another thread may also help you:

For three, IMAP doesn't support contact sync. The problem is also related to Windows live account, I would like to know if you receive the email through live account smootly, check if there is any sync issue log in the
Sync Issue folder
At last, you may totally create a new profile to check the result of Problem 1&3.

Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013
My colleagues computer suddenly crashed yesterday and it wouldn't restart without a system restore.
Now when we try to open up Outlook it says that you must connect to Microsoft Exchange at least once before you can usse your Outlook Data file (.ost)
Also The PC has lost the trust relationship on the domain
We have exchange 2010 and the servers OS is Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2011 and the Client PC is running off of Windows 8.
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
kind regards
Steve Bradshaw
[email protected]It might be possible that the MAPI key (which enables Outlook to synchronize with Exchange) has been deleted due to the System crash. So, in order to establish the connection, you need to Reconnect the OST file to the original MAPI profile and then reconnect
then MAPI profile to Exchange Server.
If the above method fails to resolve the issue, then the best option for you would be to take the help of any professional OST to PST Conversion Software, which will help you to Extract data from your OST file and convert it to PST file which you can import
back to your Outlook to establish the connection with Exchange Server again.
You can check this
presentation for more info.

Cannot connect to Exchange server (Small Business Server 2008) using Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013
I am at my wits end. I have got a new PC running Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 simply WILL NOT connect to my work Exchange server. The REALLY annoying thing is that the Windows Mail client inbuilt to Windows 8.1 works perfectly! But I have to have Outlook
for the functionality. The issue appears to be that in Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1, it tries to be clever and auto-detect the settings whereas Windows Mail allows you to input the server and domain names.
I have tried all the suggestions already on some of the boards - manual setup, etc - nothing works! Is it a compatibilityissue with SBS 2008 and Outlook 2013? Any help appreciated!I am at my wits end. I have got a new PC running Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 simply WILL NOT connect to my work Exchange server.................... it tries to be clever and auto-detect the settings.
I have tried all the suggestions already on some of the boards - manual setup, etc - nothing works! Is it a compatibilityissue with SBS 2008 and Outlook 2013? Any help appreciated!
There's no issue with O'2013 connecting with Ex '2007. Also not clear about comments of "auto-detect" versus "....have tried all the suggestions ............ manual setup....". On the one hand your stating that only "auto-detect" is available and on the
other that you've tried "manual settings" (which definitely is an option in O'2013 for EX accounts).
This may have more to do with the fact that you're using a new computer trying to connect to the server which it may not be configured for - something your admin will need to address.
Given that your question is in reference to Exchange - you are likely to get a better/faster answer in the following forum which deals with Exchange server related questions:

How do I set up my devices to wirelessly synch my Notes using iCloud among iPad, iPhone 5S and Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1?
Hey bwind,
You will want to first create an iCloud account, if you haven’t already:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
Next, sign in to that iCloud account on your iPhone and iPad, and turn on the syncing for notes:
iCloud - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3c79652c
iCloud - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad995bbafe
Then you will want to download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows:
iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
You will find your notes in their own section on Outlook:
iCloud: Notes overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12081
On your Windows computer, your changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook in the Notes folder of your iCloud email account. You can see your iCloud notes by expanding your iCloud email account in the Outlook folder pane (also called the navigation pane), then selecting the Notes folder in the email account.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Hello Im very confused. I have outlook 2013 and just subscribed for hosted MS exchange account straight on Microsoft site. Now Im lost - I didnt find any simple tutorial what to do now. I have 6 email addresses ( every on different domain) all I need is
to have access to my emails and email history from all my devices ( PC, tablets) I have Outlook 2013 on all my mobile devices. All emails are now managed only locally from my PC and outlook 2013.
1) I need import all my existing emails saved in my computer to exchange - so i can access it from my other devices
2) I need switch from local receiving/sending emails from my computer to exchange so it will be all synchronized - so I can see all emails and old emails from my all devices and send/receive from all devices.
I didnt find any simple tutorial step by step how tro do it. My situation is simpla: NOw I have outlook 2013 with all my 6 pop3 emails configured in outlook 2013. ALso now I have access to hosted MS Exchange . But what now ? WHat are exact steps I should
do ? Any help ?Might help if you tell us where you got the hosted Exchange account, Office 365 or some other provider?
To import the old emails and use the Exchange mailbox as central repository, you can use the Connected accounts feature:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/support/connected-accounts-HA102836325.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA103002943
Or here:
https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Learn-about-connecting-to-other-accounts-74609141-8b8e-413a-b7db-8ac0a6a36488
The limit is 5 however.
Another option is to export everything to .pst files and import them to the Exchange account.
In the long run, you might consider validating your domains with Office 365 and configuring the addresses as aliases of the new mailbox.
All of the above info assumes that you are using Office 365. -

Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server and Outlook 2013 Profile
Really hoping someone can offer some advice on this one as I have wasted far to many cycles trying to figure this out.
Company I work for recent purchased another company and we are in the process of bringing them into our network. They currently run a a 2008 R2 terminal server where all users connect to for there day to day work. A number of applications
are installed including Office 2013.
All users have Outlook 2013 configured to access their exchange server for email and this works fine.
The first step in bringing them into our fold is to add an email account for Our Exchange server without removing their existing exchange configuration or Outlook Profile. So the one profile will have both exchange accounts listed and they can
continue to get email from their server but as well email from our domain.
I created a MSP file and tested pushing this out using PDQ Deploy to a few workstations here in our office and it works fine. I then started to work on deploying in their environment. PDQ Deploy will not work as they are all terminal Services
Clients. So I tried to push out via GPO. I created the GPO Initially wanting to use a package and apply that GPO to an AD group. However it will not let me deploy a MST as a package. So I then tried moving it to a script that would
run at logon. That too is not working.
I know I could enter install mode then run the MSIEXEC.EXE \config.MSP but that takes away the ability to control the role out.
Any other ideas on how to get this done.Hi,
Your issue seems to be out of the scope of this forum. We only focus on issue about RDS/VDI deployment, management and operations. For Oultook related issue you can ask to our MS Office Forum:

IPhone 5S and Outlook 2013 no longer syncing

ICloud and Outlook 2013 - Wrong calendar is being synced, how to change?
Hi all,
I have iCloud installed and running Outlook 2013 on my Windows 8 computer and I'm having an issue with syncing calendars. I've looked all through the discussions and haven't seen an answer for my issue so hopefully someone can assist.
iCloud is installed correctly and under the iCloud section in Outlook, there is a calendar and it does sync with my iPhone 5 but it's the wrong calendar. It's not the main calendar that is up in my list of folders for my email account. I can't find a place to tell iCloud which calendar to sync with so I'm not sure how to go about getting the correct calendar - or both if need be - syncing with my phone.
Thanks in advance!

Wouldn't that be a bit like asking Toyota to change their car design because it doesn't work with the wheels I wanted to add?
iCloud was built to provide a synchronization option and is claimed to work with Outlook. Unfortunately it has a basic flaw that makes it almost unuseable by anyone that receives invitations via email, therefore it doesn't do what is claimed.
I'm sure it works great with the other Apple products. And maybe Apple doesn't care to worry about Microsoft, assuming that people will blame MS for this failing and buy a Mac. That is a shame because, like it or not, Microsoft is still the 800lb gorilla in terms of office products.
Unfortunately you have entirely misunderstood iCloud, it is NOT a sync service, it is a subscription account that you can subscribe to with Outlook (amongst others). It does not sync your local calendar, instead you use the iCloud calendar.
It is Microsoft who chose this behaviour, not Apple (although this problem does not exist with Outlook for Mac), Microsoft chose to make that entirely incompatible with iCloud calendars and contacts, thus avoiding the issue -
I want to access two i cloud accounts on one outlook 2013 profile
Hi, I am using Outlook 2013 and Windows 8 and I and my husband have each one icloud account for emails calendars etc. though we both only use one outlook 2013 profile on our PC for all emails. I have set up my icloud mail and it works fine. I do not seem to be able to set his up, also not manually. Can anyone tell me how i can do this or if it can be done?
On your PC, not in Outlook.
Make a separate user account for yourself, put only your stuff (files/accounts etc) in it, likewise for hubby
I do not recommend 2 users sharing 1 installation of Outlook, especially with a single user system such as iCloud.
Good luck all the same. -
