I have just noticed that my Live is no longer syncing (every 15mins to check emails). The settings are all correct, I haven't changed anything.
It does work if I set it going manually but not from the schedule. Anyone else notice this?
I did install "duttythroy Windows Live 10.6.32.2100" a while ago... I wonder if it is related to that?

I think I am getting the same error. Nothing has changed on the net connection, but the sync bar takes ages to fully complete, looking like its hung. And at the end it has not sync'd the changes I have make
Same here i posted this yesterday, very hit and miss with windows live/hotmail, we are just in the process of setting up the push email on the company server, hope it performs better than this.
I'm having the same problem.. any solution yet?
Ive found a work around to sync email with windows live. you need to login to messenger, if you dont want to show online be sure to sign in offline. then simply sync as normal and logout of messenger when your done. Ive been doing this a week now and it works. the issue has been logged with microsoft and is being worked on.

Hey,
I'm using t-mobile uk I can't seem to sync windows live? I've flashed lots of roms and still have the same problem? It just says sync failed reconnecting. When I initially put my password and it gets my emails and contacts it works fine. But when I try to sync using messaging on my ppc or if I sync from the today plugin it just fails!
anyone have a solution for this? I've tried to turn off the proxy on t-mobile still no luck
log into messenger first, then either sync your windows live or send recieve in windows live email. I think there is an authentication issue with windows live that gives the sync failed everytime. but if you are logged into messenger it bypasses the authentication process as you are already logged into the system and it lets you sync your email.
Microsoft have been made aware of this issue and have yet to come up with a way of fixing the problem. personally i think its an ms network error not a phone or software error
Cool i'll give it a go. it used to work before! wonder what they did...
i´m with the same problem, i used to work fine with msn and windows live but in these past days doesnt seems to work connection failed... don't know wasuppp lol anyone know a good msn aplication? tried fring and ebuddy but didnt like much...
Windows Live for Windows Mobile.
Its not working correctly for me on Hyper Dragon III Full rom. Installed a cab for Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800. I then set up email (I have a legacy hotmail account) via messaging > windows live. Inbox fails to sync, but contacts will sync. After fiddling with manage folders sent items will sync but junk mail wont. So at present i am able to sync contacts, and sent items, but not inbox or junk mail.
Tried thinning down both folders (Less than 50 messages each) but no dice. Any one else having difficulties with windows live and hotmail, or know of a fix for this issue?
I know the server isnt broken because i can sync sent items and contacts...
Trim them down some more. Same thing happened to me. I think Microstink changed server settings and won't synch a heavily loaded inbox. I have only 26 items in hotmail inbox now and it works fine.
I thought they took care of the heavily loaded inbox by only displaying last 50 msgs...
Any who, slimmed inbox to 21 messages, and still no sync "Failed to synchronize Inbox"
Surprisingly junk email did sync with only 5 messages... Ill slim down my inbox some more, bur will be upset if my inbox will only sync with 5 msgs.
It worked after slimming inbox to 4 msgs. whats the point.
Had 25 emails in my inbox and it brok'd again... Boo . Is there another way to sync hotmail besides going to mobile live via PIE, or using mobile live?
This is ridiculous, i would say its an issue with my build current build of Windows Live Mobile, but sent items and junk mail are syncing now... Its the inbox that wont sync. It seems to be very enigmatic.
Anyone having luck syncing hotmail/live inbox with other builds of Windows Live Mobile? If so what build are you using? What rom are you running?
Thanks in advance,
James
This happened all of a sudden for me... I don,t think it's a ROM issue but a server issue. Might be a good time to consider using Gmail. I don't have this issue with my Gmail account.
Not a bad idea .
Hotmail seems to be working ATM. I'm gonna have it do syncs every 15 min for the next day or so.
Opened a gMail account as well, nice that they have imap!
What's the maximum attachment limit for Hotmail on mobile?
It doesn't seem to bother with anything bigger than 2MB... how lame!
Kinda makes HSDPA pointless lol
I've always had problems with Windows live, first setup it syncs flawlessly then nothing but fails. Totally useless. Like you say whats the point in having to log in via PIE, clear your emails out, then re-sync. I'm absolutely amazed that Microlimp haven't sorted this out yet I mean come on its not like people receive less that 5 messages a day what with spam and whatnot.
Useless.
The only solution I think is to forward all your mails to a Gmail account, but im pretty sure that's not a free service, nothing in life usually is.
Live Mail won't download
I've been running into the same problem where my hotmail account won't download. The symptoms are that the email account works fine (access from a PC always works), then suddenly poof, my phone won't synchronize with the server anymore.
On the WindowsMobile website, this is a known problem with the email service and MSFT is trying to fix it, but it's still broken.
The workaround is to find the offending piece of email that is causing the logjam. Once it's been moved to a non-synchronizing folder or has been deleted, Live Mail downloads just fine again. The problem is finding the offending piece of email. For expediency, I just copy ALL my mail to another folder, just to get the downloading working again. I have not found the characteristics that cause the problem, but I do know it doesn't happen to simple text emails.
I've been having problems with this for the last month, very annoying.
AutoSync
So far so good, with auto syncs every 15 min. Hopefully it will last, or at least allow me to find out what mail is causing the sync to break... I didn't know that there are bugs in Windows Live, (or perhaps it !is! a feature to have sync break) maybe it should be degraded back to beta.
I have been having this problem for the last few days, thanks for the notice that it was due to an e-mail jamming it up.
It was my e-mail coming from skyfire, the one telling me to log in and dowload the beta.
I deleted it, and it is working just fine now.
Autosync
Autosync-ing every 15 min or so seems to do the trick, so far for me. Haven't had any issues since cleaning out my inbox and setting up auto sync.
* Damn, didnt realize that i get so much cr*p!
Can anyone assist with some guidance on this.
Since WLM was installed, it does not always update me on new mail not unless I am synced to my pc. Excuse me if am wrong but roaming is enabled hence don't see why it does not work.
Is this a re-installation issue with Rom OS or WLM application.
Any idea would be great!

I get the same with my Windows Live/Hotmail account. Even if I leave my data connection live, I still have to go in and select send/receive to get the latest state of play. Were you expecting 'push email' with Hotmail/Windows Live because I don't think that's offered - well I've not found how to do it with Hotmail.

I have no problem with Windows Live. Get to the options for the Account:
Messaging screen->Menu->Options
Select the account. Tha first screen lists 1 through 8 the WL options. Select Sync Schedule. Under sync frequency, select 'As Items Arrive'.
Save changes!
how the devil did you guys ever get past the 'failed to synchronize' issue I really would like to get my push hotmail working but, once the account is initially set up I can never get the damn application to fully synch again, even with a stripped down account, cleaned email folders ect.

You generally ever only get failed to synchronize when you sync without the being connected to your pc/laptop.
I assume you are using the right version.
I suggest you uninstaller and re-install. Go through the steps normally like you would do on initial set-up. Once your are past there..
You then come into stage two of the problem.

I know Windows does not support Push mail!!! Even when I send and receive it syncs and fails. It is very temperamental..!

Sorry you all are having trouble. "Push" e-mail works 100% fine with Windows Live Mail on my Tilt. As it's been reported, use "As Items Arrive" as the sync frequency.
I use a version of WL that has Messenger still in it, and I find that as long as Messenger is logged in, my Mail syncs flawlessly.

So the option was there all along. I only have 1 - 6 options on that first page but that has done the trick - thank you for the lesson

My email also " pushes " flawlessly. Unfortunately my tilt also remains constantly
connected and sync'd for this to happen, thus killing my battery by 6 pm
everyday. On days that I know I will not have access to a charger I have to
shut off my push email as a battery conservation method
mine also works flawlessly well almost, i can get the inbox folder to update, but not any of the folders i have set up?
any ideas?
I use my hotmail all the time, and have been using it on my Diamond for the last 4 months successfully.
Yesterday I logged into Hotmail on my PC and I got a message about Hotmail has changed... better layout etc - but since this I can't get it to work on my Diamond.
I go to www.hotmail.com and then enter my user and password. I get the inbox screen, but it never fully loads (the green bar is about 1/3rd of the way). I can see my new messages in the inbox, but if I click on them nothing happens. Can someone else try this and tell me if its just coincidently collided with my update to the new Dutty 2.8 ROM - or have Microsoft added Flash content into the Hotmail page or something?
I've also tried Opera Mini - which is exactly the same making me think its not my Dutty ROM.
I'll be a bit miffed if I can't check my Hotmail anymore on my Diamond, as its one of the main things I need an 'internet' phone for.
Right... I've now set up the Windows Live application - so that my Hotmail comes into my Outlook. It seems to work well, but when I do a Send/Recieve from within Outlook it connects via my GPRS / 3G rather than my Wi-Fi (which is connected at the time).
If I do a sync from within the Windows Live app, it syncs by Wi-Fi.
Its a bit annoying as I just got a message with a 2mb attachment. I try to open it, and even though I'm connected by Wi-Fi, it still tries to downlaod the attachment by GPRS!
I've looked through all the settings, but can't see anything? Any ideas?
I've just tried it and got similar results; I got the "we've changed the design a bit" message then my inbox loaded up fine, but I could click on any of my email messages. It was like the page just wasn't registering the clicks at all.
It's not a complete killer for you though as you can access your Hotmail inbox using the Windows Live application on the Diamond which, as I understand it, will skip the web interface entirely.
EDIT: Sorry dude, I was still typing when you made your second post so I didn't notice that you'd already found the Windows Live app. I don't use it myself so can't offer any help with the issues you're having there.

Thanks for trying it. I don't know what they've done in their changes, but its pretty annoying!
I'm probably better using the Windows Live program anyway as it will be quicker anyway. Its just annoying that it wants to connect to GPRS instead of using my Wi-Fi!
made a post in the general section as it seems to affect other WMs aswell?

After having updated my HTC HD7 with the Mango official build (via Zune) i noticed a couple of strange errors/bugs that didn't exist before. Let me share those with you, hoping that some of you may have found solutions to these:
1. When replying to an email, after typing some words and adding a couple of newlines, a strange ghosting appears, it looks like the keyboard on 5% transparency being overlayed on the text. Definitely a rendering bug, very annoying.
2. The copy paste icons are different, round. However, after a copy and a successful paste, the Paste icon appears half docked to the left. Before Mango, it would slide all the way to the left, i would drag it out by swiping right. ATM it just stays there, half visible. Maybe it's a new redesign? Looks awful though.
3. Emails with attachments rarely download by single tap on the attachment. It usually informs me the download couldn't complete and fails silently. After a manual resync of email, the attachments appear downloaded. It's not my exchange server, as i had the same server 1 day ago with NoDo working just fine and i also checked with the IT staff.
4. The home screen background used to display my stats and calendar immediately. Now it has a 1 second delay between powering on the device and displaying the information over the background. I immediately see the background, but it takes a while to update the stats (eg. new emails counter). Could be a redesign as well, but definitely annoying.
That it for now, let me know if you found any of these behaviours on your phones and what can be done to solve them. Thanx.

It's true... I have the same problem. So much time to release Mango update and still have problems...
I updated to Mango and none of my email works right anymore. I have an Exchange account and 3 Hotmail accounts through WP7 (I used the m.hotmail.com setting for the 3 Hotmail accounts so everything on my WP7 is EAS.)
For Exchange it appears the conversation feature is the problem. When it is enabled I am unable to delete my email from the Exchange server using WP7 (if I am having a conversation, thus a thread - if it's a single email I can.) When the conversation feature is disabled, I am unable to delete email off the Exchange server using Outlook 2010 (I have to go to OWA or my Blackberry to get the email off the server.)
For my Hotmail accounts - I am unable to receive new incoming mail with the conversation feature enabled. So I obviously disabled it. I also have my Hotmail accounts as POP3 through Outlook 2010. For each POP3 account, Under Advanced Settings I have selected, "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted items'" selected. After the Mango update that no longer works for Hotmail or Yahoo (I used to have Yahoo through WP7 but recently took it off.) To remove from the server from your computer you now you have to log into Hotmail/Yahoo via the website and delete it. WP7 will delete it (only if you haven't already deleted it from Outlook, thus you can't delete email from Outlook anymore) - WP7 is now the main manager of my POP3 accounts which shouldn't be the case.
When I first updated to Mango I was unable to get WP7 to delete from the server for any of my POP3 accounts or Exchange. I uninstalled and reinstalled the accounts I could, but with WP7 you can't do that with the main Hotmail Account - which led me to a reset. After the reset nothing is better. I also deleted all my accounts from Outlook 2010 and added them again. Nothing. I have this on Microsoft's forum and found out that people who use the Hotmail Connector are not having the "delete from server issue" when using Outlook 2010. I don't need the Hotmail connector as I use Exchange (I don't need or want all my stuff on a bunch of servers.)
I haven't heard of anybody else experiencing this. I have a ticket open with my Hosted Exchange provider - I know the dude that will talk to me tomorrow... I am hoping he can help me with Exchange - but to tell you the truth how??? Everything is syncing fine - I can send/receive email and my contacts and calendar sync as well. It's just getting the email to delete from their server - I shouldn't have to pick between Outlook or WP7 - both should delete.
I have thrown everything at this I can think of... calling AT&T will do nothing because they are stupid. I have a Nokia N900 a Blackberry and multiple computers (I am kind of a tech fan) and having email that should be DELETED off the server keep showing up all over the place is just not working for me. I don't want to walk away from WP7, I really like it - but I have no idea how to fix this.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
(Sorry my first post is this long drawn out diatribe of email sync dysfunction - but unfortunately that is my life right now. Hoping somebody can help lift me back into the light - where I used to be when my email synced to all my devices flawlessly... life before "Mango." )
Thanks for your patience....
