Windows 10 Mobile Syncing Issues With Outlook Account Emails/Contacts


Hi,

Hopefully this is the right arena to post this thread in/under..*Confused
I recently purchased a AT&T branded Lumia 950, and running Production OS: 10.0.10586.164, and latest Firmware: 01078.00038.160025.39033, I'm having issues with Outlook.com email syncing and losing contacts in Outlook.com on the mobile device?

I only have two email accounts, Outlook.com and Gmail...all Gmail syncing of emails and contacts in fine, however Outlook.com takes time to sync, and loses contacts! I have done a lot of research...on this and see many 'Feedback issues' on this topic:
I have hard reset the device from a complete, clean install, and utilized the Windows Device Recovery Tool too...no Insider Program-either..still issues with Outlook.com syncing emails, but the contacts not syncing is quite troubling....I have not lost Outlook.com contacts like others have reported! I keep a relatively small, very clean contact list...all Gmail account contacts are fine as is syncing..

I reviewed where another Lumia 950XL user chatted with MS Customer Support and they suggested to create a new Microsoft account.....then sync all info, contacts, OneDrive, Skype, People app, however Microsoft accounts can not be merged.. I have a @MSN.com------>as my Primary alias, with a Outlook.com alias, but see no way to create a new Microsoft account, without losing everything....

Any advice here would be greatly appreciated....and apologies if indeed this thread is in the wrong category..

The above was quoted from the Microsoft Answer forums---Windows Mobile 10-Lumia 950 Issues

Thanks for moving this to the more appropriate arena.. Mods

 

Sync not available for your account. Contact your system administrator to resolve this.

I have a Surface Book 2 15'. Recently I had an issue that required me to take it to the Windows Store and have it wiped and returned to it's factory settings. Yesterday, while setting it up, I noticed the following message on my "sync your settings" page
under "accounts":

sync not available for your account. Contact your system administrator to resolve this.

It is my computer (and, by default, I am the system administrator) and I am logged on under my live account. I've done a few searches for a fix and I've tried a few different setting changes, but nothing seems to work.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

 

Sync Contacts

Hi Ken, thanks for responding and confirming a few things for me.

I wish I had talked to you a long time ago.

When I went into my gmail contacts, I had about 10 differently dated imported "groups" that I had no Idea where they came from and were responsible for mess there (the "My Contacts" group list had almost 800 contacts, when there should have only been around 400) as well as in my phone (Galaxy s6)
contacts.

I paid the price for failing to learn at least the fundamentals of managing gmail/yahoo contacts until now. I had to manually edit that awful mess. Merging duplicates doesn't help much.

That's the way I will approach it, since you can set up your phone to single out which gmail account will sync contacts on the phone.

My main obstacle was finding a way to coordinate/sync my local computer contact list and my phone contact list. You can't export the android list and directly import it into the computer list. Now I can do it easily by utilizing gmail as a middleman to create a backup of my android phone list that is compatible for importing into my local contacts.
