Stupid User Tricks: Deleted Outlook profile
-
So,..User decides that his Outlook is a little cluttered, goes into mail and deletes his profile thinking he'll just re-connect his mail accounts. He has two iMAP accounts and our new O365 account configured.. Doesn't take much to reconnect the two iMAP accounts,.. but the O365,.. well that is a slightly different story..
Auto Account linking isn't finding the profile, and the docs say, In O365 OWA, click the "?" then ABOUT - only there is no ABOUT... to find the mail server,..
Uhm... Ok,..I'll admit it,..Very much a PEBKAC error..(Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair)... And it's my chair.. (rolls eyes)
Suggestions on the proper connection (feels like a N00B)
-
First, inject more caffeine.
-
Yes yes,... more caffeine...
I did find this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-suite-help/set-up-my-current-office-desktop-programs-to-work-with-office-365-HA102817827.aspx
So Poking that now.

Ditch O365 and switch to on-premise Exchange?

@Carnival-Boy - I debated the On-Premise setup for a bit,.. but as a No Profit Organization, we get the bulk of our email services for free. I only pay for 30 accounts as opposed to the 150 I have. And in the future, we will be taking over another one of our domains, so that will total us at 300 accounts.
Not to mentions, we cover 9 counties, over 150 different locations with those 300 people. I'm only one person, and can only accomplish so much. For the time, cost, configuration, and aggravation - O365 seemed the best route to go.

I definitely think you need more caffeine. you missed the irony/sarcasm/mocking of on prem exchange in the statement.
I am not sure how to help you though. I have never had a problem making a new connections with a new profile in Outlook.

Work around-
I set my account back to the main .onmicrosoft.com account, and it seemed to pull the needed server data. Since we haven't cut over this is still the defaultGuess it wasn't bright enough to figure it out.
-
Getting it set back up, I see that the 'extra folder' is STILL there.. dang it. Guess it's in my outlook.office365.com settings..
So much for all the aggravation I caused myself.

Dispatch seems only to 'mirror' my main account...
