As a response to What is Outlook synchronizing now?, the following was asked;
In which order does Outlook synchronize the folder when it is configured in Cached Exchange Mode? Can I configure this order?
I have access to multiple Calendars in Outlook. Some of them are shared Calendars from managers and colleagues.
To maintain my overview, I currently copy their content to a separate combined calendar. Obviously, this is quite error prone and cumbersome.
Is there any way to automate this process or a better way to create a single merged Calendar?
I installed the sync application for my phone and the sync appears to be working as my e-mail, calendar and photo's came over correctly. The only issue I have is that not all contacts were synched with Outlook.
Why are some contacts skipped and how can I sync all my contacts with Outlook?
I’ve added my Outlook.com account as an Exchange Active Sync (EAS) account to Outlook.
All folders synched except for the Drafts folder which appears as “Drafts (This computer only)”.
How can I make it sync and use the Drafts folder of Outlook.com?
When synching my Outlook.com account via the Outlook Hotmail Connector I get the following error:
Task 'Hotmail' reported error (0x80004005) : 'There is an error synchronizing your mail account. Please verify your account is configured correctly by first accessing your mail on the web. Error: 4350. '
I have logged in via the web and nothing is reported there. Also, my mail, contact and calendar seem to sync just fine accept from receiving this error.
How can I get rid of this synching error?
I’m using my Outlook.com account on 2 separate computers both running Outlook 2013.
I noticed that the Blocked and Safe Senders Lists of the Junk E-mail Options for my Outlook.com accounts aren’t synchronized. They used to do this when I was still using Outlook 2010 with the Outlook Hotmail Connector.
How can I sync my Junk E-mail Filter lists now that I’m using an EAS account?
It looks like the recent updates for Outlook completely broke my IMAP account in Outlook 2013.
For instance, the Inbox folder stays empty with the message “We didn't find anything to show here”. I also don’t receive any new emails.
In other folders, some e-mails can’t be moved or deleted or changes I make in Outlook do not sync to the server. Sometimes my move action is followed with the error:
"Cannot copy the items. You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties to check your permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or your administrator to change your permissions. "
It seems that IMAP in Outlook 2013 is only getting worse, when will it get better and how do I fix my current issues?
I'm using a Hotmail account and noticed that any tasks that I create in Outlook are not synced to the server. This means that my tasks also won't sync to my mobile phone nor my other computer.
I only have quite simple tasks, usually only consisting out of a subject and a reminder and sometimes a category.
Is there any way I can make my Tasks sync with Hotmail as well?
I’ve added pictures to my Outlook.com contacts in Outlook. However, when I look at my Contacts on the Outlook.com website or in Outlook on another computer, I don’t see the contact pictures I added.
How can I get the pictures to synch to Outlook.com so that they look the same on all my computers and on the Outlook.com website?
I'm using an Exchange account in Cached Exchange Mode. I know that I'm looking at a local cache then instead of directly at my mailbox on the Exchange server.
How exactly is synchronization occurring and can I tweak it?
