Outlook/ windows 8 mail app

setting up my brothers work email on his new windows 8 tablet. I successfully connected it to outlook and he is receiving email on outlook.com however it does not seem to be syncing with his tablet at all for some reason telling me the account is unavailable?

Open the Mail app and then right-click on the bottom of the page to launch the Mail app's task bar. Then in the far bottom right, click on the
More button and click on Sync.

What you have experienced, though annoying, doesn't necessarily mean someone has hacked your account, though if you were finding that you were blocked because the sending limit had been reached that might indicate that you had been hacked.
What can happen is that when people receive emails which appear to come from their own address but they haven't sent they naturally tend to be concerned: however it's most unlikely that anyone has hacked their account, they've just been targeted by one of two common spammers' techniques: both arise because it's all too easy to forge the 'from' address on messages to be something other than the real one.
There are two methods. One is that the sender has forged the 'from' address to be the same as the 'to' address (so other people will see it coming from themselves, not you), presumably in the hope of confusing spam filters. It's harmless, if extremely annoying. Delete it (never ever answer spam or try to unsubscribe from it), and you don't need to be worried about it.
The other problem is that a spammer is forging your address as the 'from' address on a whole batch of messages. The first thing you hear about this is when you start getting bounce messages because the spam has been sent to non-existent addresses and is being bounced to you. There's no point at all in responding to it. It's infuriating but normally stops after a bit as they move on to another forged address.
There isn't really anything you can do about it: closing the account isn't really worth the hassle unless you are totally swamped, because you will have to tell everyone your new address. Apple can't really do any more than they already are about spam. However changing your password on general principles is a good idea.

Plain Text URL links not working in the Windows 8 Mail App for only one account.

Hello,
I just started using a Surface Pro, and randomly one of the accounts I have setup in the "Modern" Mail app stopped parsing the pain text URL path that was included in them. Specifically links to forum discussions. I have 4 other Win
8 devices and they display the links fine.
More confusing is this issue happens ONLY with my O365 mail account and only on one PC. I have an Outlook.com account and it renders the pain text URL as a clickable link, but when I send the same email to my O365 account it just shows up as
text, no link generated. All in the same Windows 8 Mail App.
I ran the Windows 8 App Troubleshooter, I've reinstalled the Mail app, I've removed and re-added the mail account. Nothing fixes this. Anyone know why?
Thanks,
Joe

Same problem for us, the link is also not rendered, if the mail is sent to an on-premise Exchange server.
Its only for plain-text messags, HTML-messages work fine.
Why is this problem ignored? The app is useless with that limitation.

Not getting e-mails from wireless cam in Windows 8 Mail App

Please forgive me if this is not being asked in the correct forum. I could not find another place that seemed to fit. Feel free to move it if necessary.
I have two Linksys Wireless IP Cameras. Both are configured to detection motion and send an e-mail with 5 pictures to my Live.com e-mail address.
This configuration has been working for over 1 year and works. To verify, I get e-mails from the both cameras when I use Internet Explorer and login to http:// mail.live.com with my live.com (aka Hotmail) email account.
I upgraded to Windows 8, logged on the very first time with my Microsoft Live account. From all appearances, it looks like the Windows 8 Mail App was configured to use my live.com e-mail account. There are message there that I see when I login via
Internet Explorer.
The problem is, I never ever get any of the emails that were sent from my Wireless Cameras in the Windows 8 Mail app.
If I sign in to my live.com email account via Internet Explorer those messages are there. As a test, while I was looking at one of my emails via Internet Explorer, I forwarded it to myself. That message with pictures and all did arrive in the Windows
8 Mail app.
So, does anyone have any ideas why the Windows 8 Mail app does not get the e-mails sent from my Wireless Cameras?
Thanks,
Erik

Normally I do use IE to check my email. I want to use the new stuff. Note that the camera is stand alone and not connected to any computers. It is a wireless IP camera and is configured to send e-mail when it detects motion. Linksys
has told me that in general, the camera is compatible with Windows 8 but there are no drivers to plug it in directly to a computer with Window 8.
You stated that you suspect that the mail app does not support the function. I'm not sure what you mean by that. It is a mail application and should present me with any incoming e-mails to my account regardless of where they come from.
I know that the camera is working because I can see the message via IE in Windows 8 and in the Mail App on my Windows Phone 7.
So, if the Windows 8 Mail app does not support the function, why I can view one of the e-mails from my camera using IE in Windows 8 and then forward it to myself at the same e-mail address and then the forwarded message arrives with all the pictures
attached and is viewable in Windows 8 mail app.
I have also setup my camera to send e-mail to my work account. At work we have Exchange and I use Outlook 2010. I get the messages from the camera in that program without any problems.
I also get the message using the Windows Phone 7 Mail App.
I just can't understand why the Windows 8 mail app is ignoring or blocking message that are coming from my cameras.

Windows 8 Mail App - Not setting up with Office 365 Account

Hi - I'm trying to get an Office 365 Exchange account set-up with the Windows 8 Mail app. It's giving me an error stating the following:
To sync this account, you first need to: Make your Windows user account an administrator.
I do not want to give admin privileges to the individual user account on Windows (as the error is stating that it wants me to give admin privileges to the local Windows 8 account - not on Office 365) and I cannot find any restriction set-up in the admin
console/settings on Office 365 (or in Widows 8) that would require this privilege.
This same account (on Office 365) can connect fine via Outlook 2010 and a Windows Phone 7 mail app.
How can I solve this?..

Derek,
Can you please share the UAC setting or GPO settings you used to fix this in Windows 8? I've gone to the lowest available setting in the UI (there appears to be a lower limit that a NON-admin user can manually set UAC to and to get any other levels,
you need to use GPO) and still no luck.
Thx,

Windows Phone and Windows 8 Mail App not sending email from Reply/Forward

I have recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. After a successful upgrade I configured the Windows 8 Mail app to also sync with Exchange (2010 in house server). On my Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 800) I have the same account configured.
This resulted in the problem that the Mail App and the phone do not want to send any emails that have been created by reply or forward.
The phone gives the following error:
"We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the address is correct and that no attachments are too large."
The Mail App give the following error:
"There's a problem with sending messages from [email protected] at the moment. Check with your provider for more info."
If I create a new email there is no problem.
I have searched all over the internet for a solution to this problem, but could not find somebody with exactly the same problem.

I have exactly the same problem, but unfortunately no solution either... I'll be watching this thread, or post a solution if I find one...

How do I remove/disable the Windows 8 Mail App

How can I remove the Windows 8 Mail App from my computer? I am unable to select another mail provider and I absolutely do not want to get my Passport aka Windows Live ID involved with my mail under any conditions whatsoever.
I have a vbs script that installed another mail provider in IE9 but it doesn't seem to work with Windows 8/IE 11. I want this mail application off my machine entirely.
How do I accomplish that?

You don't need to un-install it but if you still want to simply right click the mail tile in start>uninstall.

IMAP problems with Windows 8 mail app

Hi Guys...
I am having some trouble setting up an IMAP mail account on a Windows 8 machine.
When i setup the mail on the machine everything is fine and it is possible to receive and send mails.
After a couple of days it stops receiving mails. It is still possible to send mails, and there is no errors when trying
to send/receive. If I go to the webmail everything is fine, and I can see all of the recent mails in the inbox.
If I delete the account on the computer and set it up again, it receives all mails and everything is fine for a couple of days, and
then suddenly it stops receiving mails again.
Anyone else experienced this on a Windows 8 machine?
I am running mail.clients-domain.com on both incoming and outgoing mailserver.
On port 143 and 25.
I've tried setting it up with SSL just to test it. I did this with this mailserver:
mail.clients-domain.com.cust.b.hostedemail.com on both servers and port 143 and 993.
When i use these i get an certificate error in the Windows 8 mail app, and it is not possible for me
to accept the certificate or do anything.
Am i missing something simple on the Windows 8?
- Any hints or pointers is grately appreciated!
Best regards
Peter

Thank you for contacting us
I'm not sure of any reason for this happening intermittent. But for your information, If you want to use SSL/TLS when using your email client you need to use mail.b.hostedemail.com as incoming and/or outgoing mail server. This hostname has the SSL certificate installed on it and can be used for transferring the emails in a secured manner.
Also check this for further troubleshooting : http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/128/bc_1286.html#main_Resolving_issues_with_the_security_ certificate_when_configuring_an_email_client_ may help!

Microsoft Windows 8 Mail App - Deleted Account still used as "From" Account

Hi There,
My wife has a Surface RT that has been upgraded to 8.1. She has been happily using the mail app (Imap account), and indeed prefers it to the Surface version of Outlook. The other evening I added my own Imap account to the mail app, but then removed it again
as I prefer the outlook version. Now whenever she sends an email from the mail app, it is using my email address as the From account (can see this by clicking "more info" under the To box) even though the account is not there, which results in no
email being sent as there are no server details etc. on which to send it.
How can i change this so that it is only using my wife's account ?
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Andrew.

Hi,
Regarding curren situation, please try to remove all accounts in Mail app and try to re-configure the IMAP account by refering steps "I can’t add or delete an email account" and "I’m having trouble with an IMAP account" in this article:

Verizon Email accounts and Windows 8 Mail App

I will be upgrading to Windows 8 and will like to use the Windows desktop maill app for my Verizon.net account.
However, in all of the preview editions of this app, including the one I upgraded to today, the app does not support POP3 mail accounts. I does support IMAP accounts.
They suggest that I contact my email vendor to see how I can retrieve my email by configuring it as an IMAP or an EAS account.
Does anyone know how to set one of these up for Verizon.net mail accounts?

Verizon doesn't support either of those options, you may have to use a different mail app.
Millions of users have email accounts that rely on POP3 mail servers. Many ISPs even give their users POP accounts by default, but don’t tell that to Microsoft as the company steadfastly refuses to support POP3 in Windows 8′s built-in email.
You have no particular obligation to use the built-in Windows Mail, but it is currently the only email client for Modern UI. You can install any of dozens of desktop email applications including Windows Live Essentials mail, Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. However, if you want to use the built-in Mail with a POP account, there’s a workaround that involves routing your messages through an online service such as Gmail, Hotmail or Outlook.com.
The steps below describe how to use Outlook.com to retrieve your POP inbox in Windows 8′s Mail.

Windows 8 Mail App - Can't add IMAP account

Hi all, I have been playing with Win8 for a few weeks now and love it. My only concern is that I can't use the Mail App to connect to my hosted email accounts via IMAP, every time I add the settings it tells me:
We still can't find settings for
[email protected] Providing this additional info may help. If you don't know this information, search online or check with your provider.
I have exactly the same settings in Outlook on the same PC in desktop mode and it works fine, as well as connecting from all of my mobile devices. I can't even find where to look for additional info on the error.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Mail App.
I've tried manually adding the server settings to no avail.
I've confirmed my account supports IMAP and proven it is working in Outlook.
Any thoughts please?

How to troubleshoot Windows 8 Mail app connectivity issues with Google Business Apps?

My company went to Google Apps last year. I am unable to connect Mail App on Windows 8 to my corporate Google account. I am using m.google.com for server with SSL enabled, but no luck. I also enabled bit locker as my company policy requires device encryption.
Mail App does not give a clear error message. It simple states that this PC does not meet security policies enforced by Google. Please advice. I already made peace when my Nokia Lumia 920 running windows phone 8 does not connect to Google
apps because of a bug that would not turn on device encryption unless requested by Active Sync and it would not turn on with Google sync.
These are annoying issues that Microsoft must fix to gain enterprise support. Here are the settings from my mobile settings page:

Answer is of no use. I tried all the forums and websites. I am not able to connect to corporate google apps because it requires SD card encryption. How do I enable this on windows 8.
Please discuss this with your boss and other peers before answering. This is an advanced question. I am going to paint this a little bit more..
Today's enterprise requires that most devices support device encryption and Windows Phone does support device encryption but here is the problem- there is no support for SD card encryption. Even for phones like Lumia 920 that does not have an SD card cannot
connect to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync due to a bug in the implementation.
When the policy parameter Require Encryption on Storage Card is enabled, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices misreport the presence of an SD card, even if the device has no SD card slot. The policy enforcement occurs, provisioning fails, and the device
cannot be synchronized. You can read more on their support site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464593
This long thread on the Microsoft community is a testament to this problem:
http://answers.microsoft.com/e...3ce3-49e4-8069-ecdccd55a5f9
This is also a problem for those enterprises that are using google apps and running Microsoft exchange activesync. Take a look at this request and policy that will throw the 85010013 error on your windows phone.
Request :
https://m.google.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
Server Data:Provision/Policies/Policy/Data/EASProvisionDoc/RequireStorageCardEncryption=1
Overall, I hope Microsoft fixes this issue soon

Use the accounts in Outlook on Apple Mail App

I have an outlook.com account and with this account I have two aliases and also I have some accounts from other providers such as @gmail.com that I can sent and receive e-mails from. On the Apple mail app in my iPad Air I do can receive the emails that are sent to me from these other providers but I just can send an e-mail using the @outlook.com email address. I would like to be able to use all the e-mails added in my Outlook.com account to send e-mails trough the Apple Mail App.
How can I do this?
Thanks

In a mail message, click the cc line, then select the from line that appears, if you have multiple accounts setup, you will now see a list of those accounts and should be able to select the one with which you want this message sent.
