'Updating message list' from hotmail FROZEN - Please help!

My mom just purchased a new mac - I've purchased Outlook for her so she can easily download her hotmail messages. I've been cruising along, downloading the 17,511 messages she has on the server (I know!!) and it stopped halfway through. In the bottom righthand
corner of the Outlook mailbox it says' Updating message list' and then has a bar which usually is filling up as it pulls messages off the server - but now nothing is happening and it seems stuck on 0/7892 (that's the text on the right of the bar). Help! Why
is it stuck? I've done the whole process twice and it seems to get stuck here. I even checked online to see if I could delete some troubled file, but can't seem to go back that far on the server (even though it lists all 17K messages (as a number next to the
Inbox tab - showing it has record of them, but where are they??) Thank you so much for any help you can give me!!!

Hi Michi,
First, check your internet connection because the low server connectivity can make such a frozen disturbance in Outlook. Apart from it there can lots of reasons behind this disturbance:
Antivirus Programs: In most of the cases, these antivirus scanning programs pretend emails as malwares and does not allow Outlook to receive it.
Large Attachments: If someone sending large attachments as email then its also make Outlook froze up. So to overcome from this, stop downloading large emails.
Corruption in Outlook Data File: Corrupt Outlook data file is one of popular reason behind the disturbance like this. Use scanpst.exe to fix the corruption issue of Outlook database and
then again try to download emails. Hopefully it will work!!!
Problems in Outlook are not just limited to the above given reasons, there is list of errors and causes in Outlook data file and their resolution.

  • Help please? Outlook 2011 stuck on 'updating message list' after deleting 1000's of emails from my 'deleted items' folder

    Hello.
    I've been searching online for an answer and can't find one - hopefully someone can help...
    I recently updated to Yosemite and decided on a general clear-out, so went through 1000's of documents, photos, emails, etc. I ended up deleting the all of the emails in my 'deleted items' folder. Since then, when I go into Outlook and hit the 'send/receive' tab it logs on as normal, but then gets stuck on 'updating message list' - it shows me that there are emails and how many, but will not download them.
    Does anyone have any experience of this?
    Many thanks!

    As Outlook, part of MS Office, is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

  • Hello everyone, im using iphone 4, my problem is that i cant update my iphone from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 while using software update in settings on my iphone please help......

    Hello everyone, im using iphone 4, my problem is that i cant update my iphone from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 while using software update in settings on my iphone please help......

    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.
    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
    with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The
    update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original
    carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the
    carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier
    to your local Carrier may have rendered the iPhone unable to be
    officially unlocked.

    You've managed to permanently damage the phone. As gdgmacguy suggests, buy a new one. Preferably from a legitimate source.
    You may also want to keep in mind that it is illegal to use the Gevey SIM in pretty much every country on the planet. It may still be legal on the continent of antarctica, but that's only because penguins don't use cell phones as a rule.

    Hello Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a problem in Java I can not open files, audio chat, which type of jnlp after the last update of the Java 2012-004
    Please help me in solving this problem. 

    Make sure Java is enable in your browser's security settings.
    Open Java Preferences (in Utilities folder)
    Make sure Web-start applications are enabled.
    Drag Java 32-bit to the top of the list.
    jnlp isn't an audio file format. It's just a java web-start program (Java Network Launching Protocol).

  • Include updated website lists from Microsoft - Not greyed out

    Hi,
    As per description of the Group Policy setting "Include updated website lists from Microsoft" on GPMC console, by disabling this setting, the Microsft-provided lists are not used and the user will not be able to activate the feature.
    If you disable the setting under "Policies\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Compatibility View\Include updated Web site lists from Microsoft" the checkbox is detached but it is not greyed out.
    I have tried to set the policy under Computer Settings, User setting and also making a Registry edition under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation by setting "MSCompatibilityMode" to "1" but the behaviour
    is still not  the desired.
    Does anybody know if there is any way to grey out this setting?

    Hi,
    This policy controls the website compatibility lists that Microsoft provides. The updated website lists are available on Windows Update.
    If you enable this policy setting, the Microsoft-provided website lists are used during browser navigation. If a user visits a site on the compatibility lists, the pages are automatically displayed in Compatibility View.
    If you disable this policy setting, the Microsoft-provided website lists are not used. Additionally, the user cannot activate the feature by using the Compatibility View Settings dialog box.
    If you do not configure this policy setting, the Microsoft-provided website lists are not active. The user can activate the feature by using the Compatibility View Settings dialog box
    my comments:
    the check for updates to the MSCVL is done the FIRST time the iexplore.exe process is started...
    Try rebooting the computer or closing all open IE processes to see if the changes have taken effect.
    Check if you have installed and activated Enterprise Mode which will over-ride any MSCVL settings.
    Please provide a link to the website where you are seeing the 'undesired' behavior....
    the google Plus web page plugin can change outcomes for x-ua meta determination.

    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting some of them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups.  See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.
