Starting about 10 days ago, I have had continued issues with stuck e-mails in my outbox using the Outlook 2013 ActiveSync client to connect to my outlook.com e-mail.

In addition, I've had sync issues with my Windows Phone 8 ActiveSync client to connect to my outlook.com e-mail.

I doubt I'm running up against the daily limit, as I am WELL below the 300 threshold.

My account is verified and I do not send spam. Anti-Virus is not an issue.

With my Windows Phone 8 (Lumia Black update), I always get a sync error to bay404-m.hotmail.com

Interesting, this is the same e-mail server that I use for my Outlook 2013 client. I can change it, but it is always changed back.

Anyone that can help me is highly appreciated. Basically, both devices are unusable at this point...

Can someone look into the health/availability of bay404-m.hotmail.com?

Both my Windows Phone 8 and Outlook 2013 clients are "stuck" to this server and it appears to be misbehaving for at least the last 10 days.

I can receive but not send e-mails at all. Basically, my brand new Windows Phone 8 and Outlook 2013 clients are useless at this time.

I see one other person is having the exact same issue with this server.

Thanks!

After enabling logging via KB2862843, these are the sync errors that I'm seeing:

*error: 80004005 We couldnt finish syncing. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).   110

I have been having the exact same problem on my Lumia 920 for at least the last week. It's extremely frustrating.

This server seems to be horrible. My wife's Lumia 920 is on it, and she gets no error messages, but calendar changes to Hotmail/outlook no longer get pushed down to her phone. They do get pushed up from it. And email is fine. So I guess it's operating at, what's that, 80%.

So maybe not horrible, just, you know not what it's supposed to be doing.

We just reset the Lumia 920. I figured it would only take 15 minutes to reload the accounts and settings. I forgot there's the backup now. My wife decided to try the restore option first, and it restored everything, including the account settings, and it assigned her to bay404-m again. However, on the first big sync, the missing calendar items came it, but then it started throwing the same error message everyone else is getting.

I'm not sure if a restore from scratch will get her assigned to a different server. My identical lumia is on a different server and has no issues.

i'm having the same problem its totally fucked uo. I think its a hacking technique hey microsoft your help desk in the philippines id complete  bullshit. what the fuck is going on?
