BIG ISSUE: after the update to the "new" SM some accounts doesn't sync INBOX with Outlook MAPI anymore. With 8510-8517 there's a workaround.
Problem reported by Gabriele Maoret - SERSIS - 4/9/2023 at 12:31 PM
Resolved
BIG ISSUE: after the update to the latest snew SM (and even after 8496) an account doesn't sync with Outlook MAPI anymore.
I seems mostly related to the INBOX folder (Posta in Arrivo in Italian) that now is empty in Outlook, but it work OK in webmail and in Android via EAS and via IMAP in Thunderbird.

The other folders seem (but not 100% sure...) to be OK on sync

Even configuring a new PC with new Outlook account doesn't work. Tested with Outlook 2019 and Outlook 365.

No related exceptions in LOGS.

This is a really troublesome issue, fortunately this is a onpremise server for a single customer with only 16 accounts (but the one affected is the owner's...).

I will wait to upgrade the other servers (one of those has nearly 1000 accounts...) until this is resolved. I opened a ticket for this.

Gabriele, does this seem to be the case for new accounts?
For existing, what if you drop MAPI connections?  Does this disconnect/reconnect fix?

no, it doesn't fix.

Outlook simply doesn't sync the INBOX folder (it is empty in Outlook MAPI, but it's OK in Android EAS, in IMAP and in Webmail).

I tried to change PC and reconfigure everithing more than 5 times without fix it (even different Outlook versions...)

I tried to rebild the INBOX folder on server
I tried to reindex the user
I tried to disconnect / reconnect 
I tried to resinc the folder with the resync folder Outlook command
I tried to made Outlook OFFLINE and then online
I tried a RESYNC USER PROTOCOL from the server
I tried to delete the SYNCHRONIZED DEVICE from the SmarterMail server to force a disconnection/reconnection
I tried to reconfigure Outlook as perSmarterTools guide

Nothing of that worked

Try toggling the user's mapi ability in their domain user settings. Toggle mapi ews off.  Save. Then on. Save again. .. Do for for jusy one of the affected users.. If that doesn't work try setting a new value for the domain's mapi user count. That worked for us somehow to toggle the mapi connection. 

Also check that the IP isn't being block by and IDS block. 

Something for sure needs attention from smarter tools about mapi in this build.

Hi Michael!
Tried, but also theese operations didn't solve...

This issue seems to be different from yours, because all it's working the other folders seems to sync correctly via MAPI, it's seems (not 100% sure...) only the INBOX folder that is empty in Outlook.

Outlook is connected via MAPI, it comunicate correctly with the server, but it doesn't download any message in INBOX (but it does for the other folders)

If you look at the image that I posted early, you can see that Outlook sees the messages in INBOX on the server (it reports them in Folder Properties, server side) but it does not download in local (it reports 0 messages in Folder Properties local.side)

This seems to be related only to INBOX.

IDEA: we are Italian and use Italian version of Outlook. Maybe can be an issue with localization?

As I already stated: Today/this Monday we are having holiday in Germany - so until now I do not have any reports by our employees with this new build yet.

Due to the at community reported Outlook/MAPI-auth/syncing-issues I checked one of our user-accounts with Outlook 2019/MAPI: Posteingang (the German "Inbox") looks like it is syncing.

@Gabriele: perhaps it is localization at your side - I see two "spaces/blanks" for your Italien name of Inbox But this is is just an idea what could be a possible reason - but otherweise we on our own are having Gesende Objekte (Sent Items) with one blank in it and looks like this folder is syncing as it should.


and one other idea:
What I noticed that I currently can see often IDS block entries brute force by IP oder by Email - perhaps this sometimes blocks access/syncing of some user-accounts - and this got started after we switched to the "Next SmarterMail/RC builds"...


@ST: It would be nice if MAPI/EWS and probably auth isseus are solved to get an updated build for me, so that we can avoid known/solved issues for starting this Tuesday our business hours after the Easter holidays :-)

I just updated to the new 8504 version.
The problem seems NOT solved, the Inbox folder ("Posta in arrivo" in Italian) in Outlook 2019 is still empty.

Also tried setting up a new account on another computer with Outlook 365, but the INBOX remains empty on this too.

In both cases all other folders are syncing (or seems so), only INBOX not working.

Please do some more tests using the access data I gave you (in my ticket) and check the problem better, because in my opinion nothing has been solved.


EDIT: please DON'T change status to "resolved" before the writer (me, in this case...) has confirmed that it's really resolved...

Hi "tecnico", this is an interesting observation...

First of all, thank you for adding your voice to those reporting this serious issue!

That said, I'll point out that it looks the same here: the accounts with these issues are the ones that never close Outlook, then have it open during every update.

Our update sequence was 8251 > 8495 > 8496 > 8504, always with Outlook open on the affected user's PC

I don't know if this helps the ST team or if it's a coincidence, but it's another clue to investigate…

So it seems there is an issue with Outlook being open during an upgrade... is this Outlook on the Desktop or Outlook Mobile? Do both cause the problem? I have a shot at limiting the number of desktops with Outlook open but the mobile phones are going to be a challenge.

@ Brian Bjerring-Jensen , the upgrade process in the knowledgebase that I follow has me shut down the services, uninstall, then install the new version. Unless the install starts the services before the upgrade is completed, not sure how to do what you are suggesting.

4/18/2023 at 11:56 PM
Yup.
By the way... had to return to IMAP to get some decent functionality back for them. If you let the exchange account stay and add an IMAP then they have their calendar as well.

That is our current workaround until exchange functionality is restored.

If the slider that show you how much email is seen in the inbox is slided when outlook is open under account settings, will get a message stuck in the outbox for all outlook MAPI sessions related to that account.

Do it via the controlpanel when all outlook sessions are closed, then it doesnt matter.

I have found that initiating a "Resync User Protocols" seems to fix the Inbox syncing issue. Still early on so can't be absolutely certain but accounts that were showing "Last Updated...." and thus not syncing, after I pushed the slider up to sync all mail I closed Outlook, initiated the resync and then opened Outlook and it sync'd fine.

Doesn't help with the Microsoft Sign-In window popping up, however on a machine that I was getting that window very often it seems to come up once on opening Outlook and then doesn't come up again.

Again, time will tell.

Hi Brian good morning. Happy to hear the other accounts are in good order! For this new account; can you confirm it started syncing properly only on a 32 bit client? What happens if you add the account to a standard 64 bit install on the same machine? I’m curious if this might be an auto discover caching issue of some sort and so it’s possibly more related to the PC than the Office environment.

I can confirm that (SM8510, haven't tested 8517 yet).

In Outlook, if I configure a new account/profile to connect with a SmarterMail user via MAPI, very often Outlook doesn't synchronize the INBOX (even if the same SmarterMail user is already working and successfully connected to other Outlooks on other PCs...)

As a workaround, running Resync User Protocols fixes this issue...
But this has the cons of triggering a resync also on all other devices that are already connected to the same SmarterMail user (if any...)

It is very unfortunate that things as significant as MAPI issues weren't uncovered in beta.  This is definitely another client loser and, as was the case with the last version, you are fortunate if you didn't move forward until the reports from the community settled down a bit.  It would sure be nice to be able to use BETA license keys for a bit again to evaluate these releases on our in-house needs.   We can't subject our clients to flaws at the very core of how they use the product.

Totally agree. I spend 12-15 hours a week troubleshooting email issues. At 200USD an hour the cost is significant to us.

I wanted to hold off for a few months, uppers wanted it,  so we did it, instantly started getting flooded with customer complaints with SMTP/IMAP not working on Thunderbird. Hopefully the uppers now understand why we wait...

Hello All
Are there already some solution for that problem because we have also some customers which do not see the infox emails connected via MAPI after SM upgrade?
