Starting around September 1, my Hotmail account no longer works with Emclient. It will not synchronize any of the folders–they are all completely empty. I can still access my account through live.com. Did Microsoft change something recently to cause this? If anyone can give me any help with this, I would appreciate it.
Has your hotmail account been migrated to the new Microsoft Exchanger server?
To find out if Microsoft has migrated your account yet - in a Browser, login to your account at outlook.com. When your mailbox has been migrated to the new infrastructure, the top left corner will show Outlook Mail. When your account hasn’t been migrated yet, it will show Outlook.com.
If it shows Outlook Mail , you need to set up your account in EM client as an Exchange account. iMAP will still work, but not as well as Exchange (also Calendar and Contacts are not synced with iMAP). An EM Client Outlook account (ie using AirSync)will no longer work.
Note that when you set up an Exchange account, EM Client can take quite a few minutes to obtain the server details.
When re-installing eM Client 6 I skip auto setup. Then I click on MAIL and select EXCHANGE. Enter [email protected] and password. Takes several minutes then error message is that my login credentials are not working. ANy suggestions???
I have the same problem - my hotmail account stopped syncing a few days ago so I deleted it and now trying to add it again using the ‘Exchange’ option but even though my password was accepted I still get the login box popup every time I click ‘Finish’.
