ActiveSync Errors....?

[sttngagt]

I had set up just yesterday my school email as a msft exchange ActiveSync account. It downloaded all my email just fine and I never noticed any errors. Today it hasn't worked at all. It has constant error messages for failure to connect to the server. I logged in online and know there are 3 new messages there. But my dinc2 fails to connect so it obviously isn't working. Thus I'm not getting email and its annoying. Haha. I have gmail set up and all but I never really use it for anything. Help anyone?

What happens if you try and set up the account again, do you get errors?

Sorry, I fixed this problem. I don't know how or why but when I used a diff server name it all worked out. How the one I used first worked for one day and not after I have no clue. My mail has been working perfectly for 2 days now, hoping to make it thru day 3 now. Haha

Not sure if you (or anyone else) is still having issues or not, but I saw this post on the Outlook Live Answers and thought I would share. You should re-configure your connection to use your "pod" address instead of "m.outlook.com" and you will have less issues.

This is exactly what I did. I didn't see that thread, but its good to confirm that what I did was right. Just a lucky guess on my part. I looked at the server config for pop/IMAP and just went with that. My email is still working perfectly. Hope this helps any others who have the same problem.
