Windows Mail App not Auto Syncing

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the Windows Mail app on both my laptop and Surface RT. I'm running 8.1 on both and I've recently ditched Gmail in favor of Outlook.com. Right now my Gmail accounts are forwarding to Outlook. However, I still sign in to
my computers using my Gmail account (not sure if that matters). Ever since I eliminated my Gmail accounts from the Windows mail app, the app will not automatically sync with Outlook.com when I receive messages. The only time I get updates is if I manually
sync. Yes, I have set the email account to "download as items arrive". I have restarted my computers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mail app. Not sure what else to do. Help! 

Hi,
Accrording to your description,the issue occurred on both your laptop and Surface RT.
So,I think the issue isn't related to Windows mail app.
In addition to ZigZag3143x mentioned, I suggest you create a new mail account to test this issue.
If it works,I suggest you remove your outlook.com account and re-add it.
Regards,

    Hi

I know when the emails come in cos my iphone pings and downloads it, but it never seems to arrive on the mail app. Sometimes It will download some of them if i go to mail and sync accounts option. But then sometimes I go to look for an email that was snt a week ago or a few days ago or something and sometimes it is no there, but I know it should be cos I have not deleted it cos it is still showing up on my ipad and iphone. I am up to date with my software. It is very annoying as I use the app for work as well.
    ANy suggestions or help much appreicated
    thanks

  • 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...

  • Windows 8.1 Mail App doesn't sync Exchange account on desktop but does on laptop

    I was referred to this forum by another Microsoft engineer, and while I do not believe this is where this problem can be resolved, I'm following his instructions.
    I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC and an ASUS X205TA laptop. For several months, the three accounts I have under Mail (two Outlook.com accounts and one Microsoft Exchange work account) synced properly on my desktop. 
    In fact, the Mail app on my desktop worked fine with my Exchange account from the first time I used it under Windows 8 in 2012. The version didn’t seem to matter – whether it was Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the Mail app
    connected to my Microsoft Exchange account simply by filling in my email address and password.
    Sometime this past summer, however, in the July timeframe, the Mail app stopped synchronizing with my Exchange account. In an effort to repair it, I removed and attempted to reinstall the account. This time, it would not let me load the Exchange account, even
    when including additional information (domain, server, user name, et. al.).
    This past fall, I purchased the ASUS notebook with Windwows 8.1 installed, and I was able to successfully load my Exchange account in Windows Mail using just my email address and password, as well as the two Outlook.com accounts, and all three accounts synchronize
    properly. When I went back to my desktop, however, I noticed that the Liberty email account was listed under my Mail app. Apparently, since my laptop and desktop configurations are registered under the same Microsoft account, when they synchronized, the Liberty
    email account which I successfully loaded on my notebook appeared on my desktop system as well. 
    The Mail app on the desktop, however, still can’t synchronize with my Exchange account so, in effect, I’m back to where I was in July. I would also add that I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2013 on my desktop and laptop and, in both cases, all three of my email
    accounts are installed and working properly.
    I don’t know if this information gives you insight into what the problem might be, but it’s apparent that there’s something in the configuration of my desktop Windows Mail app that is causing the problem. It’s working just fine on my notebook.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mail app multiple times, run the App Troubleshooter, and tried a Clean Boot installation of the Exchange account. None of these fixed the problem.
    As I told the other Microsoft engineer, if this were an Exchange problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 on my desktop and my laptop, nor would I be able to connect to my Exchange account using Windows 8.1 Mail
    on my laptop.
    The problem is specifically with the Windows 8.1 Mail app on my desktop PC, and its sudden inability to sync with my Exchange account after it worked in every iteration of Windows 8 since 2012.
    I have posted this issue in this forum as suggested, but my troubleshooting does not point to an Exchange problem, but rather a Windows 8.1 Mail app problem on my desktop PC.
    Can you help?

    Hello ronontheright,
    Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
    Please take a look at the following article.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
    Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
    Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.
    Best regards,

  • Windows Mail app in LAN-Network "e-mail address not available"

    Hello,
    I have a Problem with the Windows Mail app at Windows 8.1. Everything works normally at home, but when I try to update mails at university I get the message "e-mail address not available", but Hotmail works fine. I have four more addresses synced,
    none of these is updated while I am logged in at university.
    So when I start my computer, I have to log in in the University network via IE, there is also a timeout after an hour or so.
    I have to go access my mails in the browser, but that is quite bothersome with four e-mail addresses.
    Anyone who has an idea how to solve this?
    UPDATE: OneDrive does also not sync. It says all Files are up to date, but there are not. If I try to download files via Onedrive App, I get the error message "Currently, the file can't be opened. An Error ocurred with OneDrive."

    Hi,
    How about your problem now? Is your Mail APP still works properly in your home? According to your description, it's should your School network problem. Is your IE enabled any network Proxy when you using it at school?

  • Email not auto syncing

    I set up 2 email accounts on my iPhone (free Yahoo and .mac) using the auto setup feature on the phone. I am able to receive emails, but the "Auto Check" feature is not autochecking. I have tested by sending email from a different account and waited up to an hour (with auto check 15 min enabled) and still nothing. If I go into the email app and check for new mail, the mail will load. I've tried deleting the accounts, and re-entering them, but it didn't work. I have EDGE connectivity, and pretty good wi-fi.
    Anybody else run into this?? Any fixes??

    My .mac mail is now auto-syncing properly...I didn't do anything, just waited it out and it's working now. My yahoo mail isn't auto-syncing or pushing. I've read some threads that say the free account will push, and some threads that say the free account won't push. Final verdict?

  • Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).

    I have Vista SP2. Every time I open Firefox (3.6.13), I get three consecutive error messages:
    1) Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows Mail message store. Your Windows Mail mailbox data is currently being used by another program, such as a virus scanner. Close the program or wait for it to complete its operation, then open Windows Mail again (0x800C0155).
    2) Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).
    3) Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized.
    This series of messages continue to recur during my Firefox session and eventually will freeze up my session.
    I use Gmail. I do not use Windows Mail or Outlook Express and deleted Windows Live Mail. There is a a file named msoe.dll using the path C: /Program Files/Windows Mail. I also found C:/Program Files/Windows Live/RemoteActiveX even though I thought I deleted all Windows Live programs.
    I have set Firefox as the default browser. Also, in Firefox, if I click on "File=>Send Link", it triggers the series of three error messages above.
    I don't understand why Gmail would reference Winmail. Any ideas how I can fix this? Can I or should I delete the Windows Mail and Windows Live folders?

    I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1.  It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc).  Once File(s), Folder(s)
    and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
    After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem.  I transferred her user profile with a free program called
    Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD.  I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old".  I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
     After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred.  When you move profile data, all the old permissions
    have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user.  This cleared up all the permission
    problems.

  • Encoding problems in email while on Windows Mail app

    Hello.
    I have a question concerning email and encoding problems in the Windows Mail App in Windows 8.1.  I have encountered a problem with an email I received, while reading, I see strange ASCII characters in one email.  I have never encountered it in
    my web browsers nor Gmail, just the Mail App.
    I was referred to come here when I had asked a similar question there:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-ecoms/strange-foreign-ascii-characters-appearing-in/911f8a44-c302-4fa1-bcaa-3297b32d9120
    I don't know which forum to go to so I picked here.
    Is there any way that it can be resolved.  I tried to troubleshoot, nothing worked; I even synched, to no avail.
    I look forward to a response.
    JB

    Hi JB,
    The responder on answers was a bit confused. The MSDN forums are for developers to discuss writing their own apps. We cannot help with problems using Windows or its built-in apps.
    If the folks on answers cannot help then you may need to open a support incident. See
    http://support.microsoft.com , or the folks on answers may be able to direct you to the specific page for the Windows Mail app.

  • Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

    I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
    emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
    Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

    Hi,
    Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
    the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
    your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

  • My iPad 1 mail does not always sync completely through iCloud

    Background: Over the last week or so I have noticed that my iPad mail does not always sync completely with either mail on my iPhone or iMac.  It receives all messages but does not always delete or file them as managed on either on my iMac or iPhone.  My iPad and iPhone mail settings are the same and set to "push".  My iPhones does not have this issue.  All other syncs such as addresses, calendar and photo stream seem to work just fine.  Is this due to my iPad mail settings or an Apple iCloud issue?

    Do you have Sync Books selected in the Books Tab in iTunes?

  • 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,

  • +3,000 Mail.app Notes Sync Console Messages

    Hi!
    Thanks for looking at my question! 
    I seem to be generating +3000 console messages every few days that almost all relate to syncing, particularly notes sync, errors from Mail.app.  I do not know how to decipher these messages to find the root of the problem.  I have notes sync de-selected on each Mail account as well as de-selected on MobileMe prefs. 
    How do I avoid Mail continuing to generate these errors?

    Well, nothing helped, even with the latest 2 updates where Apple states they fixed bugs in Mail app. Thus I just bought "AirMail" it's very cheap and works awsome with full gmail support.
    NB. I've used MS outlook for a while but it was awful, now totally satisfied with "Airmail" it supports notification, very light weight, etc.
    cons: I found that it cached all the attachments I have on my gmail.

  • Mail app not working after upgrading to Windows 10

    Hi The mail app is no longer working after I updated to Windows 10. When I open the app I can see the folders and the list o emails, but I can't do anything. It doesn't matter what I click on, nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this? Kind regards Joey

    one more thing. I was not able to download cleanup tool/online scanner too. but may be it has something to do with my internet bandwidth. and other strange thing i observed is that before restart i was not even able to turn off all security features. but after restart that problem seems to be corrected.

  • Firefox w/Win 7 and Windows Live Mail does not auto-hyperlink from Send Link. I know cut-and-paste. Is there fix?

    On other computer, w/Vista, Windows Mail, clicking Send Link works perfectly, providing one click hyperlink. Running latest Firefox on both computers. Made Windows Live Mail default email. No help. Uninstalled Windows Live Mail and switched to thunderbird, made default. Didn't work.

    I'm searching for a solution as well.
    For now, when the compose message windows opens with the plain text link, I just click anywhere in the body of the message below the text. This will place the cursor at the end of the link. I then hit Enter, and the hyperlink becomes active.

  • Since installing the latest Itunes my phone does not auto sync as before, how can I set this up?

    Since i updated to the newest ITunes my phone does not automatically sync as it did before. I am not able to locate my pictures or music or apps to set to auto sync. I receive no message that tells when the phone was last backed up to ICloud. I have several songs on ITunes under ICloud that are in the waiting status. This is all confusing. I have clicked on every available option.
    Thank you

    I'm afraid at this point a backup can't be created anymore and the phone has been damaged too much by the water.
    You'll have to get it replaced and use the latest existing backup you have.
