Hotmail Issue

**sanmanc** · #1 (**permalink**) 08-07-2008, 11:37 AM

I got my Treo a little over two weeks ago. As I have done with all my PDA phones I set up my Hotmail account which ended up setting up Windows Live. Have not had any problems sending or receiving messages until two days ago. Now when I try to manually sync I receive a message that reads "There is a problem with the server. Please try again later." The only option is to dismiss. Then an error pops up "Messaging: Failed to synchronize Inbox." I have tried removing then setting the account back up and still receive these messages. I do get my folder lists but no emails. Any suggestions?

I had that same message for a while on my 700wx using windows live. I gave up on windows live and just use Pocket MSN that came with my 700wx. Since then I've had no problems.

Don't have Pocket MSN on the Treo. I just don't understand what happened to cause it to stop working. I have done everything but a hard reset.

Ok. Did a hard reset and still have this issue. Email Live tech support but I won't hold my breath for a response.

OK I GOT IT!!!!!

Get on hotmail on your computer and move the contents of your Inbox to a new folder. Then sync your phone. I actually recreated my account on my phone. Once you successfully sync then you can move your emails back to your Inbox and re-sync. It work for me and I hope it works for anyone else having this issue.

Had the same problem with my Mogul and MSN account until I found out on this site that I needed to delete the Skyfire emails. Now it works fine.

It would have been nice if it were an email from Skyfire for me but I had deleted the Skyfire email way before I had this issue.

This is strange. I have also had the same issue for 2 or 3 days and strangely enough it was 2 or 3 days ago I got my skyfire e-mial as well. Ill try the fix and see if it works for me too. Thanks.
