No more Mails from connected accounts like gmail since a few days.
Hi and hello here. Just joined the community.
I have an office 365 business premium account and my own acount for exchange online is not possible to get mails from connected accounts, which worked fine all the time until sunday.
So, I deleted all accounts an reconnected them, but without success. The status still receiving mail and hothing happens anymore.
Is there a possibility to restart a service or so?
Thank you in advance.

I am using the connected accounts in office 365 for the last 2 years. Had no major issues with it until recently, besides the fact that email is refreshed every hour and there is no way you can change that. However, since last Friday one of our accounts stopped syncing. Reason unknown. Even office 365 support is not very familiar with the feature, cannot provide a reason for this and their only suggestion is to delete and recreate the connected account. Did that and still only 1 in 5 emails was syncing, the other 4 in 5 were not. Since the new connected account didn't show the option Leave messages on server - it's selected by default and you need to make a trick to show it, I deleted again the connected account and unchecked the Leave messages on server option, thinking this might fix the issue. So the faulty code in connected accounts, went to transfer again 1 in 5 messages in Office 365 but deleted all, including those not transfered!!! So lost tens of emails with no easy way to recover, any search in Office 365 data revealed nothing.
The best part is that their support manager, claims that this option does not delete POP3 emails etc., based solely on his own wrong interpretation of a MS document, without even testing the feature.
Of course it only gets better. Today my account is also not syncing properly, the pattern seems to be any email with an attachment bigger than 400KB or so, is not syncing.
So, there is definitely a serious issue affecting connected accounts. Since support is not helpful at all, and we had also recent issues of not been able to send any emails for 5 days, we are planning to stop using Office 365 Email ASAP. Extremely sad for somebody using MS products for 27 years and a MS Partner company but true.
Nino_Bilic can you please check on this issue?

Not sure if anyone has take care of this issue, but the sync status is now OK again and Mails will be delivered at least for the last hours. I will keep an eye on this today. thx
Hi Marco, I havent heard about any emerging issues with connected accounts. That said, this community is not a support channel, so I'd recommend you open a ticket to get this properly investigated.
