I don’t know if you are still having this issue or not but we were untill now. After I posted my comment above I did a little rooting around my machine (which was 1 if 4 having this probem).
Anyway, here is what I did: 1) Uninstalled any version of Office that was on the machine 2) Rebooted 3) Searched for all folders called Microsoft Office and Outlook and deleted them 4) Searched for all files called outlook and deleted them 5) Rebooted 6) Installed Office 2007 (mine was enterprise but your’s should be just fine) with a custom install and install EVERYTHING to the machine (not installed on 1st use or any of that). 7) Rebooted When I ran Outlook for the first time after all of that, it opened with the wizard and I added my Exchange name and password and etc and it worked fine. Just to make sure, I closed Outlook and re-opened it, restarted my machine and opened it, killed the outlook.exe task and reopened it All worked fine. Then I went to the other pc’s that were having the same error and did the same thing – it worked there as well. I would give this a try if you are still having this issue – let me know how it turns out for you. As for Outlook 2010 – this is not my first rodeo with this software I tried it when it was in different stages of the beta and now with the final release – this is a really crappy version in my opinion. I have had too many troubles with doing simple things to give this to my users or even recommend it to clients right now If I cannot figure this thing out and not get errors, I cannot expect for normal users to get it right.
Maybe after SP1 or even SP2 will I consider this again. YMMV – Swim at your own risk Tim.
As announced a while ago, Microsoft is migrating all Outlook.com mailboxes to the Office 365 Exchange Online mail servers. This will give you a much better synching experience to Outlook but unfortunately may require you to re-add the Outlook.com account in Outlook and make some additional changes once your mailbox has been moved over. This guide contains all the information regarding this migration process; It’s current status, what you need to do beforehand, what you need to do afterwards and some of the other major changes you need to be aware of.
Why are they migrating and what are the benefits? As you may know, the Outlook.com mail service originated from the Hotmail mail service and is offered for free. Microsoft also offers Exchange Online as a hosted mail solution via Office 365 for Business subscriptions. There is a lot of feature parity between the two mailing services but the back-end is quite diverse and developing each feature twice isn’t the way to go forward. Instead, Microsoft has decided to move over all the Outlook.com mailboxes to the business-level email infrastructure of Office 365 for free. Note and Extra Tip: Just like before; Outlook.com will be ad-driven but as long as you’re using Outlook or any other mail client, you won’t see any ads either.
Ads will only show within the web interface which you can optionally disable via an just like now. Ads also won’t show when you open the Skype, Notifications or Help Pane on the right side. The main benefit for Outlook users is that you can now make an actual Exchange connection instead of needing to rely on the Outlook Hotmail Connector or the (limited) Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) protocol. The list of limitations that are now overcome was that long, I put them in a. As mentioned in the intro, there is also a available to you now. When you are using Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016, you can even so that they are available both in Outlook and Outlook Mail in your browser. Oh, and you can now also enable your Out of Office or Vacation Notice via the.
This is something which you could currently only do via the web interface or EAS connection on your smartphone but not from within Outlook. When will my mailbox be migrated? It is hard to predict when your mailbox will be migrated to Exchange Online but you can expect most US based accounts to be moved by end Q1 2016 and most other accounts by Q2. The migration of all remaining accounts is targeted to be completed by the end of 2016. They are focused on doing this as painless as possible so they rather pause and fix issues instead of steamrolling it. Update: As of June 2017, all mailboxes have been migrated.
When you still have your Outlook.com account connected as an Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) or Outlook Hotmail Connector account in Outlook for Desktop, follow the instructions in the next sections to secure any local data you might have and reconfigure your account as an Exchange account. Before your mailbox gets moved, you will receive an email from Microsoft notifying you about the upcoming changes and links to information about removing and re-adding your account. In the next few weeks we’ll be making some updates that will impact your @outlook.com, @hotmail, @live, or @msn email account.
Those changes will prevent your email from getting delivered to the Outlook desktop application you use. When you notice that you stop receiving messages, simply follow these two steps: Unfortunately, you can’t make this change beforehand but you can always access your mailbox via the website. When your mailbox has been moved, the top left corner will state: Outlook Mail. When it hasn’t been migrated yet, it will state: Outlook.com.
If you are using Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010 you kinda have to wait until you start getting Send/Receive errors. These are usually; 0x8004102A and 0x8DE00005. Task ‘[email protected]’ reported error (0x8004102A): ‘Error with Send/Receive. There was an error synchronizing your folder hierarchy. Error: 80041004.’ Task reported error (0x8DE00005): ‘There is an error synchronizing your mail account.
Please verify your account is configured correctly by first accessing your mail on the web. An error occurred in looking up the user’s information in mserv.
‘ If you are using Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016 and are connected via the EAS protocol, then synching will stop and you’ll see a message about how to reconfigure Outlook. You can find detailed information about each version of Outlook in the Reconfigure Outlook section below. You can recognize that your mailbox have been migrated by looking at the top left corner of one logged on to the Outlook.com website. When it says “Outlook Mail”, your account has been migrated. When it says “Outlook.com” your account hasn’t been migrated yet. Needed preparations As mentioned before, you can’t make the changes beforehand and there is little that you can do but wait.
However, one important thing to do is to check if you are storing anything in Outlook.com folders that are marked as “On this computer only” in Outlook. Folders that are marked with “On this computer only” do not sync with Outlook.com and their contents will be lost when you remove the account. These are usually the following “extra” or “special” folders;.
Notes. Journal. Tasks (Outlook 2010 and previous). Drafts (Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016) If you are storing anything in these folders, export or move their contents to a pst-file so you are sure not to lose it. Reconfiguring Outlook After your mailbox has been migrated, you’ll need to reconfigure your account in Outlook to reconnect and/or to take advantage of the new features.
How to do this depends on your Outlook version. Outlook 2003 If you are still using Outlook 2003 then this change is actually bad news since Outlook 2003 is no longer supported ( ended on April 14, 2009 and extended support on April 8, 2014) and isn’t compatible with Office 365 Exchange Online. As a workaround, you could previously configure your Outlook.com mail account as an or account in Outlook 2003 but since Outlook 2003 no longer supports any current-day security recommendations (Outlook 2003 doesn’t support TLS), it is no longer possible to configure your Outlook.com mail account in Outlook 2003. Alternatives: If you currently can’t upgrade to a later version of Outlook, you can use one of the following free alternatives: the Mail App in. Using, even with the EAS update, is either.
Outlook 2007 Although actually already ended on October 12, 2012, it will work nonetheless when you have all the updates for Office 2007 installed. Not all advanced features are available though and connectivity support could get dropped in the next release cycle of Office 365 but you should be good still for quite some time to come.
