    Under “Settings”, “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”, select the account and then go to “Mail Days to Sync” and select whatever value you wish (from 1 day to No Limit).

  • davidmk

    +1

    No personal folders here either.

    Also, none of my contacts or calendar items from my phone are appearing online after supposedly sucessfully syncing…

    • davidmk

      Maybe they haven’t finished with the settings yet… *shrugs*But I’m not getting any error messages yet emails are syncing perfectly albeit without personal folders appearing, but calender and contacts aren’t syncing despite the lack of error messages.Has anybody else found this?I tried creating a new entry on the web interface, my phone says “syncing calendar” pretty much instantly, but no entry appears on the phone’s calendar (n.b. I have tried the same using gmail/calendar activesync on my phone and it worked, I wanted to eliminate a local error)

      • davidmk

        I just checked the MfE logs on my Nokia E71 and see that the calendar “unable to synchronise with server”

        I just noticed that ALL my contacts have been duplicated and the second entry has had the photo stripped out of it…

  Update : I don’t receive the ‘unable to find exchange server’ on the HTC Hero with Android 1.5. Just tried it again after 10-15 minutes, but in the end I’ll receive a ‘unable to create account message’ :(

• Heyitzme

  I already have an Exchange ActiveSync account attached to my Outlook Web Access work account on my Android (HTC Incredible). So far, I can’t see a way to add a second EAS account. I have added Hotmail as a pop account OK, but that’s limited, of course. Should I be able to add an additional Exchange Active Sync account to this phone? That would be great.

  • http://twitter.com/davidhoush David Housh

    I read somewhere that most phones only allow up to one EAS account because of the license that is given to that device for the EAS to work; however, on the Palm Pre, I have heard that you can have multiple EAS accounts, so it must depend on the manufacture of your phone’s OS?

• Atlantisite

  I am getting this error with Android HTC legend (failed to create the account please try again later ) any help please :(

    there seems to be some problems with Android devices. Which version of Android are you running? 2.1?

  Exchange ActiveSync seems to be working fine with my 3rd-gen iPod Touch, but when trying to set it up on my Evo (Android 2.1), I get the “failed to create the account” error message.

  • http://twitter.com/josemoliver Jose Oliver

    Same here… Evo (Android 2.1) failed to create the account please try again later. I tried adding m.hotmail.com in the domain field to no avail. If you find a solution, do post!

  new emails are not pushing to my phone.

  The settings sort of work, I can now see my folders and read/unread sent or deleting emails from my iphone do sync instantly to the web but as i said, new emails arrive to the web but they are not pushed to the phone… not until i manually open the mail app…

  I am getting a 50/50 here. Initial sync worked perfect with the given settings, however, when changing email to sync all items, and calendar to sync more than the past 2 weeks, I am now getting errors that it could not connect to the Exchange server.

  I am guessing there will be intermittent issues over the next little while as it is rolled out.

  I’ll have to try it with my WinMo 6.1 Standard phone…

• http://twitter.com/josemoliver Jose Oliver

  After some digging around it seems that a lot of HTC Evo users are experiencing the “failed to create the account please try again later” error when configuring Exchange ActiveSync on their devices. This could be device specific and not be related to hotmail’s exchange activesync. If this is so, make some noise over at Sprint support to get their attention on this issue.

• sitkarev

  it’s not working on my iphone yet

• phoyer

  Absolutely great!!! How long have i been waiting for the feature!

  For me it works perfectly on Mobile 6.1 but no success with Mobile 5. One difference, when creating the account, is that version 6.1 greys out the domain field in the moment you add ‘@’ to the username. In mobile 5 this is not the case.

  I have tried leaving the domain name blank as well as setting it to hotmail.com. However, no connection. Anyone has an idea how to get it working?

  Guys, good to see your excitement..we are working hard to give you the best experience. We are almost done but not completely. Once we roll out fully you will know it, we will post instructions on how to set it up, no guess work would be required. Just keep a little patience, and you will get a sweet product out. Thanks

  • Carl

    @WellWisher – but we HATE to wait.

  Thank you very much from France. Coul you get a call to Mr Domenech to teach him the life ?

  can’t get it to work on my Nokia N900 or my nokia E71, am in the uk, with @hotmail as email. I am so desperate for this feature as email is not great on Nokia 900. hurry up microsoft. it it sometimes says exchange server not avaliable or exchange server under maintenance. plus no wave 4

• Fred24

  Why don’t you use “nokia messaging” on your N900, i tested it on the E72 and it works like a blackberry with the mails… push and synchronisation even with hotmail

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1613460040 Henry Edwards

    did not like it, as it did not show me which account had emails in. With the emails now Hotmail is blue if i have nww emails and white if i don’t did not work on nokia messagimg. But might go back as it’s driving me crazy as it takes ages to see eamils.

• Richtor

  “Unable to open connection to server.” For Droid running Froyo 2.2 and a @msn.com address.

• tk

  Any idea if this will work on desktop applications like Outlook or Apple Mail? I really wish I could get my hotmail on a desktop application. Hopefully this will work in the next Outlook for Mac… I have heard conflicting reports on desktop availability of this feature, so hopefully someone can clarify this. (Didn’t work for me though…)

  • Fred

    If you have outlook, install outlook connector: it use deltasync, it is like activesync but for outlook. Full synchronisation with mail, contact, and calendar and it is really fast compare to imap
