Security News > 2024 > February > Microsoft: Outlook clients not syncing over Exchange ActiveSync

Microsoft warned Outlook for Microsoft 365 users that clients might have issues connecting to email servers via Exchange ActiveSync after a January update.
"After updating to Version 2401 Build 17231.20182 Outlook stops connecting when using the Exchange ActiveSync protocol," Microsoft said.
Until this EAS syncing issue is resolved, Microsoft provides a temporary fix for affected users to revive their Outlook desktop clients.
In December, Microsoft addressed two other bugs, one behind email sending issues for users with lots of folders and one causing Outlook to crash when sending emails from Outlook.com accounts.
