Question asked on Jul 4, 2016

Since I know the DeltaSync for WLM is being discontinued I deleted a Hotmail account that was using ActiveSync and re-added it using the IMAP settings. All the inbox and other folders were downloaded but the Sent folder remains empty although I saw it downloading 'sent' messages but then they never appeared. I am also unable to send mail from that account.

For outgoing port I have put smtp-mail.outlook.com port 25, clear text authentication, SSL yes. I also tried ports 587 and 465. For all I get the same error message "the host smtp-mail.outlook.com cannot be found" Error ID 0x800CCC0D. Socket error 11001. I am using Windows 8 Pro, Time Warner Cable in NYC. No anti-virus running.

How can I solve this so that I can send messages and have the sent folder synchronized? Thank you!
