I'm having this problem with windows live on my dopod 838 pro.
Here's the problem.
Whenever i click on the Sync tab on my today screen, it will start synchronizing all the folders in my email, download whatever emails, upload whatever emails and then it goes to "personal settings" and fails.
I get this message on my today screen in the windows live tab saying "Synchronization Failed.". Anyone experiencing this problem?
Its not that i have never synced before cause the last successful sync was on the 15 of april 2007 at 11:39Pm.
So i am quite boggled by this. I was thinking it was because i was connecting thru wifi, but even when i have it docked to my pc, it fails. I don't know where to start. I've checked my settings both on my dopod and also on my pc and also in windows live settings.
Anyone know anything about this issue i'm having?
I guess no one has encountered this problem....
I need to find out. Also, does anyone know how to merge contacts. Example:
Outlook contact: Smith,John
Windows Live Messenger: Smith,John
How to merge these 2?

I've got the same problem, whether I connect via WiFi or GPRS/UMTS
It used to work perfectly at all times, then it started working for only a few hours after a soft-reset, now it doesn't work at all bo matter what I do.
I noticed that sync is done automatically while I'm connected to messenger (and mails and contacts are synchronized ok), so everytime I want to check my emails I just connect to messenger for a while and then sign out...
any help is welcome !!
problem occurs using Black 2.0 ROM (didn't try on LVSW yet)
Why Sync is failing
Hiya!! I found the cause of this issue... if u go to ur msn (windows live) on ur pc and get rid of your display picture then the sync will be successful on your PDA, however if u display a pic and then sync, it will fail... it doesnt seem to like exporting ur picture, however it will be down I think as Windows Live is merging with Xbox Live in may on the xbox 360, so it may be something which is being done at the moment! otherwise everything else will sync.
sync works for me now, with or without display pic
maybe it was a server problem...
Thanx man.. Your suggestion really worked. Also, do you know how i can merge my contacts? I have duplicate.. I tried renaming all of the contacts in MSN on my PC to suit my outlook.. but it still shows up different...
I found a way to merge contacts. Make sure the Name, IM and Email are exactly the same. And delete your windows live account, and then resync it again. it should then merge everything.
you could also try clearing the ie cache and temp files if you are not saving them the the storage card. I had the same problem I could only sync after a soft reset and usually only once. I noticed my mem had dropped to around 25mB or so when it is usually around 41mB. After clearing cache and temp files I very rarely have that problem and if I do, I free up more mem. Hope that helps

Live contacts just don`t appier in the outlook, when I re-flash my device, I loose all the live contacts but on the next windows live sync my contacts just appier back with phone numbers and everything.. I wonder where is all the data keept, phone numbers and everything.. if it isn`t in outlook 2007 ??
I had this problem too! Will try what you suggested. Strange that it works for a few hours then stops. I found that signing in and out helped.
Does anyone know how to change the reply to address?
I get this error too but it still downloads my emails ? I think thats strange and alot of the time Messenger wont signin I get some weird error about it.
It's stopped working for me. Deleted my profile pic, still no joy.

same for me, removed the display pic, works only sometimes...
Please don't shout at me coz I've Googled and searched this forum but can't see anyone with my problem (which I guess means it is my problem?)
I can sync wirelessly with our hosted Exchange server and Calendar items and Contact items sync from Exchange to my Black 2.0 Tytn OK. Emails however do not. They just appear to be ignored completely. I think it worked OK with Black 1.2 but I can't be absolutely sure.
Is there some email setting I have missed somewhere?
what's wrong with the WLM synchronisation? :S it's been doing this for days now.
EDIT: for me, i can seem to get my WLM to fully synchronise if i don't synchronise my email.. i think the problem (in my case) is because my Live messenger address is not a real email address (it's a forwarding address which is linked to my real email account).
I'll toss my hat in the ring alongside those getting this 'synchronization failed' error. I receive all my emails ok, however messenger shows all my contacts as offline (but I must be logged in, as people can message me), and my display name only shows my email address. This has only begun in the last day or so. I am running Windows Mobile 6 Black 2.5 Telstra.
I have tried a soft reset and also using 'switch account' to see if that would recreate the connection, but no go. I'm not sure if it covers mobiles but Microsofts MSN status pages shows no known issues.
A colleague of mine has his working fine on the same device/software I have.
This is driving me nuts!
I find if I clear the password and login again it works.
Activesync has very nice logging, does anyone know how to turn logging on for Live?
I have my domain hosted by live i.e. my mx records point to live. Wonder if this kind of account is a problem?
Something really strange is happening with my phone and i couldn't figure out what is.
I have been having many problems trying to download my email into my Excalibur Phone (doesn't matter if I use GPRS/EDGE or WIFI). I configure out everything, select send/receive and nothing happend. Exactly nothing, the phone doen't connect, no errors showed, etc. Also if I try to stop the send/receive option it also doesn't do anything and It keeps trying to stop.
The internet connection works well I can use the explorer and other applications to sync mail like funambol, but not the regular WM Client.
I've tried many different configurations and also different imap/pop providers, nothing happens. I also decided to try with version 6.1 and the same story happens again.
At the end I try to change the order I do the fresh install and suddenly the mail start working until I sync my device with the pc using the Windows Mobile Center 6.1. Yes aftet that It stop working with exactly the same behavior.
So, in resume starting my device with a fresh version of windows mobile 6 I can configure my imap/pop3 mail and it's work fine. I connect my phone to the PC to sync the contacts/calendar/tasks (no mail) and my mail stop working again (leaveing the same configuration or deleting it and configure it again).
Looking forward for your help. Thanks.
Uriel.
What internet plan do you have exactly. Is it the 5.99 or the 19.99 one?
I live in Chile and the prices here are diferent. I dont have internet plan I pay per kbyte because I use more WIFI.
Did you run the connection wizard in the tools folder?
the connection wizard doesn't help me because the chilean parameters are not in the list. also i don't have any problem connectiong to internet, it works fine, the problem is with the mail client only.
I've discovered something new.
I restart from a fresh install of windows mobile 6.1 ricks v24. I connect to the inernet and sync my mail perfect.
Then I connected to phone to the PC to sync and set to sync ONLY the CONTACTS and it works fine. After it te phone continue working well and the mails continue working.
So I decided to take the next step, I went back to the Windows Mobile Center and enable to sync the Calendar also. After the sync finished, the problem returns. I cant connect to my mail again. It dont work.
Then I restarted the phone and went to the Windows Mobile Center and disable the Calendar sync. After the sync the calendar is deleted from my phone and the mail start working again. I can't figure out which is the relation between the mail and te calendar but something is happening here.
Thanks for your help.
Missing features in Windows Live Mobile <> Window Live Messenger alternatives?
Hi,
Why isn't Windows Mobile Live Messenger not the same as Windows Live Messenger?
A capability of video conferencing would be nice (like webcam or videoconference in Windows Live) or the other usual features (send pictures/voiceclips) but most easy is the direct envelope button to get in your hotmail via a cookie.
What's the latest version by the way and isn't there any official link to a cab or something?
If you know an alternative messenger with the above possibilities let us know!
I tested palringo, with this one I could send pictures and voiceclips...
Thanks,
Innovator
it's different because the device is massively lower spec than a home or office PC and streaming video calls over the mobile network could work out very expensive for the novice users who arent expecting it...plus most devices dont have a front-facing camera yet.
you can set up a favourite in internet explorer for your hotmail to automatically login if you want
alternatively, if you've got a decent data-plan you could set it up to sync "as items arrive" which will automatically update your mobile's hotmail account with your live hotmail account ... so theres no need to log in at all
i dont think you CAN download it separately, it tends to be cooked into the roms and so isnt user-upgradeable....but you might get lucky and find a link if you use the search on this site
isn't there any other program/tool for video conferencing then?
We can always turn our P3300 and look into the cam and turn back to the front screen, better then nothing...
ateksoft's webcam plaus will turn your phone's camera into a webcam, but doesnt have any conference facilities or anything. It will just let your desktop PC use your phone as a webcam (when connected)
dont know of any program to do what you want, but someone else here might
Hello
I have a problem with downloading e-mails to my rhodium. I use stock rom 6.1 (manila 2.1). This is really strange becouse if i create other account in phone (for example hotmail) it works good. Even when i turn off wifi and download e-mails by 3G from my gmail - it works good! But if i try to download e-mails from gmail by wifi then i see "Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain your login information is correct and then try again". My wifi works good at this time, i tried weather app, youtube, opera browser and everything is good. So what can be the problem? I just cant download mails from gmail only by wifi only :/
Please help, thanks.
edit:
I also noticed that i cant update weather forecast in manila (only by wifi) and i cant connect to myphone also only by wifi. But everything works in 3G. Can it all happen becouse of installing some cookec roms? Maybe using task29 and installing stock rom again could help?

I can confirm your problem, I have it too:/ And don't know how to solve it. I tried almost everything - factory restore of phone, remove/add FB connection in my Hotmail profile, be on phone on 3G/wifi only etc... I'm having these problems till Friday or Saturday. On my LUMIA 820 with WP8.
Now I tried it on girlfriend's Lumia 710 (WP7.8) and it is the same. No incoming messages... She also can see online contacts and send message (it is send immediately and I can see it on computer)...
Does anybody know where the problem is???? Many thanks in advance
So I made a research and these messigings are only sync when the phone is internet connected, which is really bad cuz we can't see what is new when we are online, alot of people want to have the Facebook messanger on their wp as android and ios, so we want facebook messanger for wp, or somekind of fix.
I don't understand Facebook chat is online service, so it is clear that our phone has to be connected to internet. Some messanger app is not needed, that integrated FB chat is really good. But now from some reason it doesn't work for me. And on the internet there no similar topics, it seems it touchs only two of us:/
status.live.com also says there is no problem...
It really makes me angry...
Solved! For test I add into mobile new FB account. And everything worked. So I tried it again with my normal FB account. In Live account I remove FB account. In FB settings I removed Microsoft application and then add this account into mobile. Now it works standardly like a charm) Hoooray.
I didnt work for me, it reqired to intall Microsoft in FB again and it's all the same
