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 have this problem too. I had a notification from Live Messenger that i had mail, but that opened up Internet Explorer which was the only method I have found that allows me to access my hotmail account.

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.

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?

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

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.

No. I even changed it to a blank picture as well as a default pic.

Yes I was succesful doing that.

"Syncronization failed. Unable to syncronize inbox. Server did not respond."

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.

Buzz313th
1st September 2007, 05:58 PM
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...

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.

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.

What does changing your password/live id have to do with your contacts.

Let me rephraze so you can better understand how I am trying to help.

I had sync problems and lost my online contacts on my live account... I could not sync my hotmail inbox nor my contacts with windows mobile live until I changed my Windows live account password and Live Id from my computer at home...

just another problem ...

lost ALL of my contacts a few days ago.
All I did was starting the mobile messenger. Afterwards even on my desktop all contacts were gone. I had to re-add all contacts manually. No other possibility worked for me! Thankfully the old live-build stored all the mail-adresses in the phonebook so i could quickly find and read them via Outlook.
But i lost almost an hour with doing that *grrrrrrrrrrr*

I think about deleting the messenger from rom :mad:
Gonna try Fring...
