Using Outlook 2003 SP1, when I synchronise with the Microsoft servers, my
Calendar has recently (last few days) been unable to connect and
upload/download information. This problem is not affecting Mail or Contacts
which seem to be working fine. I use a wireless connection through ADSL. Any
ideas what might be causing this problem?

Hi,

Just out of interest, are you in the UK? Because I've been experiencing the
same problems ever since I installed Outlook Live two days ago. I've called
MS Support and the tech said that she was experiencing the same problem
herself and she'd call me back tomorrow to see how I was getting on (which of
course she never did)

P.S. Sorry about the blank reply earlier - finger trouble!)

Yes, I am in the UK. Sounds like the problem is at Microsoft. I get the same
problem on my laptop as the desktop. Thanks for letting me know I'm not
alone! Hope the tech support people get back to you soon - maybe you can post
their response here?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's a server problem. I've tried it exactly the way you are
(a laptop with a wireless ADSL connection), AND using a machine in my office
with a direct Internet connection - no joy on either... have you EVER got
yours to work, coz I haven't? :0(

I will most certainly post you back as soon as I hear any news.

By the way, we certainly aren't alone as there are some early posts in this
newsgroup regarding the same problem.

Chin up ;0)

Looks like your call to the techie people may have done the trick - my
Calendar has started connecting again (or maybe it's cos it stopped
raining?!?)

Hope yours starts soon. Thanks for all your help.

I'm encouraged that calendar synchronization is working for the two of you.
For most of the last week, my Intellisync has been unable to connect in order
to synchronize my Outlook calendar with my online MSN calendar. I'm in the
U.S.
