Hi all,
having upgraded to the official O2 WM6 Rom, I have since been getting trouble with Activesync. The syncronisation is very slow and sometimes will not syncronise at all. I sometimes have to disconnect and reconnect to get the blue bar to move and complete syncronisation.
I am running XP sp2 on both home and work PCs and it is the same on both computers.
Anyone else noticed any problems synchronising with the WM6 Rom and Activesync 4.5?
I have searched the forum and also tried Microsoft knowledgebase but to no avail.

Same problem ive had here, but finaly it worked! No issues since.
I Have had the problem at 1st sync after the update. Then tried to sync 1st the contacts, then added calendar, files and so on. It appeared that my big calendar (400 appointments in total or so) made that activesync hung. I changed the setting from sync all appointments to just the next 2 weeks, and then activesync synced properly. After i added some more weeks, and at last i synced all apointments.
No problems since, also at first sync at work (2nd pc with activesync) this problem did not occur at all and i could sync all appointments (and contacts, files, and so on) at once.
Hope this helps for you 2!!!
Twiggerdingo, thanks, I may try that, but all appointments and contacts are now synchronised, it still takes ages though and sometimes stops, even when there is only one item to synchronise.
hi
iam having trouble with windows live oin Official HTC rom, it just refuses to download mail, it gets stuck on syncronizing inbox.
any idea guys?
I have similar issue since yesterday. Also, when I try to search for something - it does not bring the results. Just opens another search window.
I am having the same problems.
Things were fine when I was using an old instalation of custels WM6...
Then today I decided to reflash the device to the new Official HTC WM6 rom and I could not get Windows live to sync with the inbox for email...
I then reflashed to the TNT2.0 rom and the same thing...
Real weird.. anyone have any ideas?

I had very similar problem, when I used rom Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.54b-0804_Full. Problem was in internet settings (Ver. 3.60 - fixed).
I solved this problem install internet settings form cab: T-Mobile_UK_Settings_V1-1.1.CAB
Another problem, Hermes refuses operator settings. Whes T-Mobile tried to send me.
Similar Issue with Live Mail
I am also having an issue using Windows Live Mail on Sleuth's latest ROM. Over the last few days, some of my email messages are coming through blank. The message size is listed as 0/kb, but there is no option to download more of the message. When I check my email via PIE or on my laptop the entire message is there as normal.
Funny thing is this has only started over the past couple of days. It worked fine for weeks before, and now it seems that this issue is becoming more frequent (I got 8 blank messages today!)
I even tried changing to a different Live account and then back to mine. It fixed the blank messages in my inbox, but the second email I received was blank again!
Has anyone else experienced blank emails coming through from their hotmail email account?
Microsoft is currently extending from 2G to 5Gb live acount. Could be linked ?

I have a pocket pc made by HTC, model is Tytn. I am a Cingular subscriber in LA.
I have been using my PPC with windows mobile live 6 to access my hotmail account for the last year with no problem.
Just yesterday I installed an OFFICIAL WINDOWS MOBILE 6 rom that is the latest update from HTC for my phone. After instalation I could no longer sync Mobile live with my hotmail inbox as before. However, I can connect to my Live messenger from the same phone. When I try to sync my mobile live client with my hotmail inbox, I get an error message thats states, "email server did not respond, sync has failed". I then tried to connect with my wifes hotmail live account and had no problems at all. ThenI tried reconecting with my hotmail info and I got the same error message and the sync attempt with my hotmail inbox failed again.
This doews not make sense. I can sync with my wifes account, but cannot sync with my hotmail account. Why can I not sync to my hotmail inbox with mobile live, but I can sync to Mobile live messenger? Why does my hotmail live account work on the PC, but not on my phone? Why did it work the other day seamlessly, but not now after upgrading to a newer Official Windows Rom. Do you guys need to reset my hotmail account? I have also reinstalled the old rom and I still have the same problems.
Please solve my issue.. I depend on my mobile email retrieval from my phone for my job and at this point I am losing money and clients since I cannot use my email on my phone.

Lets back up here. This same device was working fine with my current hotmail account just a few days ago. All I did is reflash to a new Official, HTC, Microsoft windows mobile 6. I also flashed back to the version that worked and it still is not working... Maybe my account info is corrupt living on your particular server. How about just resetting my account, I bet it would start working again.
How about your customer service department live up to the enormous reputation that is Microsoft, and give me a call to help me work out this problem.
My number is.... XXX-XXX-XXXX

Hello JB,
Thank you for writing back to Windows Live Mobile Technical Support. My name is Joan. I understand that you are still having issues in synchronizing your Windows Live Hotmail account on HTC device. You mentioned that your wife could sync her Windows Live Hotmail account using the same device. I appreciate that you have taken the time to write to us regarding this.
JB, we received feedback from a few customers experiencing similar issues when synchronizing Windows Live Hotmail on HTC device. We are currently looking into the reason why this is occurring, and our product team is engaging additional resources to locate and isolate the exact server that is causing the issue.
The details you included in your email will be very helpful to our investigation. I will be forwarding it to our product specialists for inclusion to the analysis of this case. They will be getting back to you once an update becomes available.
At this time, there is no definite timeframe for a resolution yet. However, we wanted to let you know that this is definitely our top-most priority. Thank you for your patience.
We appreciate your continued support as we strive to provide you with the highest quality service available. Thank you for using Windows Live Mobile.

Ok... I am very frustrated that nothing has solved my issues with MY ACCOUNT.
Here are the answers to your questions. I'm hoping you can solve my issue.
- Did changing your display picture work?
No. I even changed it to a blank picture as well as a default pic.
- Were you able to sign in to the Windows Live application using a different email address? If yes, what email address did you use?
Yes I was. Like I said in my initial email, I can sign in and syncronize to my wifes hotmail account inbox no problem.
- Were you able to successfully clear cache and history of visited websites on your device?
Yes I was succesful doing that.
- Were you able to sign in using the WAP version of Windows Live Mobile?
Yes I was.
- What is the exact error message you are getting?
"Syncronization failed. Unable to syncronize inbox. Server did not respond."
- What specific HTC device are you using?
HTC Tytn. Same device as the cingular 8525. I have now tried 3 different roms.. 2 of which used to work with the windows live client before. Current rom is the latest from the HTC website.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a problem with live when I first went to WM6, a while ago now, that sounds similar to the problems being experienced here. My solution was to log into hotmail / live on a PC and update my passport account. I attributed this to maybe an old account.
Well... I gotta hand it to ya... I went into my setting page for my live account and changed my id and password for my live account and that fixed it... I find it pretty interesting that Microsoft had no idea, or they just didn't Giva F-ck.
Thanks...
JB
Hi.. I found this morning that i dont have anymore contacts on my msn list?!?! Read on some forums this can be cause by msn servers going down or hacking!! Anyone else having this problem today?

I had the same issue... It is known to M$. The solution I found was reinstalling WLM Live. If you do, make sure you uninstall it first thru active sync.

Unfortunatly that doesn't work for me, have tried 4 different versions and everytime the same problem.
If I Sign in with an other account the e-mail syncs correctly!
On my old Wizard it worked always, so it's very strange.

Exactly the same happened to me yesterday.
Try going to your windows live account from your computer. Then change your password and add or change your windows live ID. This worked for me and I had the same problems.

Hey guys,
There seems to be a problem with my Windows Live application, it doesn't seem to synchronize my additional folders e.g hyves, sent etc.
Is this a currently known problem, and is someone else experiencing the same problem?
Regards,
Ryu
Anyone? I'm really at a loss here, don't want to delete my hotmail sub-folders and have 50+ new emails everyday
i had the same problem but after months (yesterday) i found this
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-windows-live.html
mail works fine with me now, don't worry about the resolution it's fine when you install it
good luck
I apologize in advance if this has already been answered but i have been looking for the solution for a couple of days now and have had zero success.
I have my t-mobile dash setup for pop3 email with my own domain. When I first setup the email account, the email is all downloaded fine. After that, it just stops working and hangs at "looking for changes". I can go into tools and modify the settings in there to download from 5k to 20k or make any changes in there it will download once, but then stop again.
One other fact about this is that it started once I updated my Dash from WM 5 to WM 6. I have since tried WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 and have the same problem on all.
Does anyone have any advice or solutions to this? I have seen a few people post the same question, but never any replies.
Are you using the TZones hack? If so, there is one more change needed to make your email work correctly. Look it up in the WIKI...it's the last thing on the list.
Sorry...not in the WIKI....just search for the TZones hack. It's in there.
No, I am not using the TZone hack. I have just upgraded my WM to 6.0, then 6.1, then 6.5 and have had the same problem on all of them.
It seems that using Exchange instead of POP works fine, but my email is not on an exchange server so I have to use POP.
I just put WM5 back on my dash and now my email works fine. Same setup and same account as before. The only difference is running WM5 instead of WM6, WM6.1 or WM6.5. I am not sure why that would make a difference, but I would LOVE to run a newer version of WM on my dash if anyone can shed some light on the pop email problem I am having.
I just read some other posts addressing a similar issue where a pop email setup on WM 6.1 kept "looking for changes" and wanted to check through all 6000 or so messages on the server. The recommendation was to set it up using IMAP. Does anyone know why the pop setup would be a problem but the IMAP would work?
Thanks
