  1. Trying to sync accounts


    I have tried to sync my accounts because I have 3 and am unable to access my email. After much time and no success, I was told to sign into Microsoft but I can't do that because I have forgotten my password. They want to send me a code, however, they want to send it to my email account which I cannot access. How am I supposed to get the code?


    Earlier I was told I had no driver support and when I followed the directions to download, they requested a monthly fee. Must we pay for that service now?

    :)

  2. Microsoft Account not syncing WP8.1

    Hi Michael,

    We suggest that you manually sync your Microsoft account by following these steps:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Tap email + accounts.
    • Tap and hold your Microsoft account.
    • Tap sync.

    Check also if you have the correct date and time set on your phone.

    Let us know the results.

    Regards.

    Microsof account sync issue- error code 80070490 saying "We can't sync right now".

    I am trying to follow the suggestions above. I am here in your list of suggested steps:
    • If this account continues to fail to sync the next thing to do is tap the error you receive. You should now be on the screen where you can enter your password. At the very bottom of this screen try entering the following in the server name field, m.hotmail.com,
      blu-m.hotmail.com, bay-m.hotmail.com. After entering each, go and try to sync the account.
    There's no place to enter my password.

    There's...

    Microsoft Account Settings

    Account name - Hotmail

    User name

    Server eas.outlook.com

    Just so that I am clear, I am to change the server name to one of those in your response (above), one at a time, try to sync. If it doesn't sync, try the next one--correct?

    I will await your response.

    Thank you.

    Microsoft Account and Syncing


    Not sure what else to suggest but since you mentioned it, try variations of the sync settings on your W8.1 phone. It is just possible that this is causing some confusion with your Microsoft account and the W10 settings.
