"Operation has timed out" initial sync to Exchange (outlook.com) account

Hi,

I’m using eMClient version 7.0.30068.0 to access an outlook.com account (@live.co.uk email address).  It’s set up as an Exchange account in eMClient i.e. connection is via Exchange Web Services.

When I initially open eMClient, it says ‘Synchronizing folder list’ in the bottom left-hand corner.  After a couple of minutes, the ‘Operations’ dialog pops up with the following entries in the Log (after trying to upload items to a folder):

11:46:31 [email protected] [Exchange Web Services]  MailClient.Accounts.ConnectionException: The operation has timed out —> System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out
11:46:31    at MailClient.Protocols.Exchange.ExchangeGenericCommand.Execute(WorkerStatus status)
11:46:31    at MailClient.Commands.Command.Process(WorkerStatus status)

I only receive new emails in my Inbox after manually clicking the ‘Refresh’ button.

Does anyone know what the problem might be with the initial sync on opening eMClient?

Many thanks in advance,

IR8
