zhangm Supervisor Posted March 12, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted March 12, 2013 It's only reliable for my Live account. Other accounts using IMAP update sporadically, and about half the time, it is necessary to manually hit the sync button to grab the newest messages.

siah1214 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Make sure you have it on your lockscreen so you're getting notifications, that affects sync behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is download new email set as "As Item Arrives"??? Try to cycle that to manual, sync your mail,then change it back to As Item Arrives. If no luck, try to uninstall and reinstall from the windows store. Tegument 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacemf Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 yeah tried that, switched it off and then back on. i sent an email to myself, and the ipad/iphone got the email, but the laptop didnt, until i manually went into email and opened the app..... might have to delete the account and reinstall i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
