SkyDrive not syncing local SkyDrive folder to the website

06. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I see hundreds of questions, but not one clear answer.

When I updated my computer to Windows 8.1, I created a local account with which to log in.  I just realized today that none of the filed I had place in my local SkyDrive folder had been syncing to the cloud, so I decided to change my account to a Microsoft account.  I now log in with my Hotmail user ID and password (the same one I use to log in to SkyDrive).

To test whether it started syncing again, I dropped a few documents into the root directory of my local SkyDrive folder.  Nothing shows up on the website.  There are no overlays on the file to show it's syncing.  There are no indications in the top-right corner of the SkyDrive tile to show that anything is syncing, and nothing shows up in the SkyDrive folder online (nor on my Android SkyDrive app).

I then opened the SkyDrive integrated Windows 8.1 app and added a few files there.  They showed up in my local SkyDrive folder, but again, not online.

I need this to work.  If I can't get it to work within the next day or so, I'll abandon SkyDrive, and buy more storage from Google.

Please advise.

Outlook 2013 contact groups

06. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com

Hi

 

I tried setting up a few contact groups on Outlook 2013, and after clicking "Save and Close", I started writing a new email, entered a contact group into the "To" bar and tried to send the email. However, I received a message saying "The contact group(s) this message is addressed to must contain recipients. Add at least one recipient to each list". Therefore the message did not send.

 

Additionally, I can't find a way to view  (and edit) contact groups already made. It's as if the ones I made do not exist.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

As of 10/30/13 I cannot send or receive emails from my account nor can I not connect to a live person via MSN customer support.  This is extremely frustrating and I am in the middle of communicating with a prospective client.  Can someone please advise or give me a number to a live tech support person.

 

Thanks!!!!!

Sent Email with Attachment Not Showing as Sent

06. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I just wrote 2 very long emails and attached a photo. They are not showing as sent or in any sort of outgoing status. If I send an email with no attachment there is not a problem. Anyone know why this is happening?


Hotmail account sketchy sending and receiving emails HELP!

06. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I have an email account with hotmail that I've had for over 10 years now and in the last week it seems like im not getting all of my emails. I sent an email yesterday that didn't reach the recipient either(without an error message). I checked all of my filtering and spam settings but havent seen anything out of the ordinary. I have my account *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, and a domain forwards this address (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) to this hotmail account. I'm having alternate trouble getting emails sent to either addresses.
I currently use windows live mail, and the missing emails are not showing up in a spam or deleted folder either.   PLEASE HELP, THIS ACCOUNT IS USED FOR WORK!

Outlook email can be sent, but ability to receive is bouncing on and off

This has been happening:

I learned early on Nov 5 that some office emails were no longer receiving any mail from BigCommerce servers in Outlook.com.  I of course contacted BC and there is no problem with my servers. Websites are working just fine except for email.

I tried to edit the Outlook account information to verify that it is correct, an error is displayed simply stating that there is a problem.  Here are the steps that I follow:


In Outlook.com, I click the "gear" menu in the header.

Click "More mail settings"

Click "Your email accounts", under "Managing your account"

Click "Details" next to my BC account (labeled "Send and receive") in the section "Accounts you've added"


A message box is displayed which lists the following information:


"To send email from this account without "on behalf of", update your SMTP settings."

"Messages have been successfully retrieved from this account."


I am given the ability to click an Edit or Remove button.

Click the Edit button.


The message box is closed, but I'm then presented with a screen which states:


"Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Outlook right now"

or

sometimes it successfully resets my email to send and receive!
It's as though the Outlook access to my email is being turned on and off - constantly. It appears there are other people having a similar problem right now with their Outlook accounts.


Initially, I assumed that maybe there was a known issue that was being worked on.  It's now been at least two days. My website email is accessed only through Outlook unless I go through the hassle (and loss of email files) by changing to another service. 

Please help asap.

A Friend who regularly emails me is now blocked.

 

He got this message:

 

550 SC-004

Mail rejected by Outlook for policy reasons. A block has been placed against your IP address because we have received complaints concerning mail coming from that IP address. We recommend enrolling in our Junk Email Reporting Program (JMRP), a free program intended to help senders remove unwanted recipients from their email list.

I dont get this, what to do? Thanks

Syncing issues with 8.1

06. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
I'm new to 8.1 and just setting up my PC. I really like the idea that all PC docs and folders will sync automatically to sky drive but this is failing to happen. I'm a little confused because I thought this happened intuitively with this OS. I have this option turned on in sync settings. When looking into this I can see that there should be an option to right click on the sky notification icon also to change settings but no such icon exists, hidden or otherwise. I've also played about on my sky drive to change settings to off-line mode but without success. Basically, any edit to my docs doesn't update to sky drive automatically. Any help much appreciated.

Renaming Account

06. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
I have a hotmail account with sympatico.ca which has been upgraded to Outlook.
Sympatico only has dial up service in my area..not even DSL.
A group of us have established a radio wireless service and I no longer need the dial up service.
I have a "outlook.com" and "hotmail.ca" email addresses.
I want to terminate my sympatico service.
How do I terminate the sympatico service and still maintain my data in Outlook?
My sympatico email address is my primary and it will not let me change to my outlook and hotmail aliases nor rename the account.
