Outlook Mail and Calendar live tile not updating

[mjyumping]

Sorry guys, the new update today only fixed the Calendar tile, and not the mail tile.

Haha, yeah life sometimes suck

Not that I'm doubting it fixed it in your case, but I'm skeptical the update would've fixed it for everyone until I hear more evidence of it fixed from others. It's not the first time I've heard the problem got fixed for some people while it remained for me update after update.

The Outlook Mail and Calendar app update yesterday did not fix it for me.

No news, it doesn'y work

Hey guys,

had the same annoying issue for months with the Calendar live tile (Mail always worked fine somehow). Several hard resets later no change. Until I used the WDRT and made a full Recovery. Since then it works like a charm!

Which build do you found on WDRT?

Which build do you found on WDRT?

Hey Maurizio,

I can't recall for sure, but I think one of the latest 10586 versions. It then updated to 14393.67 (after opt-in as Insider), switched to Fast and received the 14915.1000 version.

Hope that helps.

Best
Christian

Like me, I need to resize everytime for update livetile

I had the same problem. Combined with all the other problems I've been having, I decided to roll back to 14393. I know MS said some of these newer builds would be rough, but I didn't imagine that I would be resetting my phone 3-4 times a day.

After midnight, I have to resize the tile, re-pin or reboot the phone to see the updated date on the tile.

If I do not resize the tile, re-pin or reboot the phone, the date doesn't change or the tile shows no date (with the Calender icon).

After trying all kind of tips and tricks, I did hard reset thrice, just to fix the calendar issue, but no luck.

Hard reset won't fix it unfortunately, tried that myself. So far, only rolling back with WDRT then upgrading back to w10m seems to have any success at getting rid of this annoying bug.

I've also fixed it using WDRT and I can confirm nothing else will help. During past months I've tried with soft reset, hard reset, OS update, apps update, remove/recreate accounts, unpin/re-pin tiles... but nothing helped.

Now this was long process: back to W8, upgrade to W10, update to Redstone, install/update apps, update settings... Yes, I'm happy now, however there is no guarantee it will not happen again. Microsoft should fix this or never advertise their shiny live tiles again.

I think I'm just going to wait for Microsoft to roll out a fix instead. It's Microsoft's job to fix their busted OS/apps, not mine. I didn't buy the phones to waste hours resetting and going through the OOBE. Plus, as you've said, there's no guarantee that it won't just break again. My mom and dad have been complaining to me that the calendar tile is stuck and not updating to today's date, and right now, the only thing I can do is tell them to reboot their phones whenever something's acting funky.

Still nothing...

The issue with "no updates" is appear only if I have google accounts on my phone. If there is only outlook account - tiles are ok...

Try this to get mail account live tiles to display new message notifications: unpin all mail account tiles and the Outlook app tile from Start. Slide over to All apps and open Outlook Mail, then press ... at lower right, Settings, Notifications and set accordingly, e.g. turn "Group notifications..." to On, check "Apply to all...", turn "Show notifications..." to On, check banners and sounds. Back, back and then press hamburger icon at upper left to show Accounts, long press each account and select Pin to Start. Also make sure under Settings/System/Notifications & actions that notifications for all the accounts and Outlook Mail are On. You can also now adjust Lockscreen settings to display notifications for one or more accounts.

 

[Robert Jurczyk]

try to pin only inbox.

 

[Aurelio Crippa]

try to pin only inbox.

Thanks Robert, it worked for me. The new mail live tile is now almost OK.
It shows the correct number of emails currently in the inbox. But as soon as I read/delete one of those, the little number in the live tile goes to blank.
In other words, the number in the live tile increases but does not decrease.
Anyway, better than before.

Calendar live tile is still messed up, of course.

I've just tried all those things, and still no joy. The Outlook live tile shows one unread message. It's a message which arrived about three days ago and which I've long since read and deleted. I hope someone from Microsoft is monitoring this thread because, judging by all the comments, there's a bug there which is long overdue for fixing.
The live tiles feature is one which I believe makes Windows more attractive than Android and iOs. However if the feature doesn't work...

 

[Aurelio Crippa]

Yes, indeed, a solution by MS is due.

Anyone here that have tried to see if the tiles are working now on 14393.351 insider?

 

[Arnie-75]

Same problem here, Lumia 930 with latest Win 10 update. Yesterday I reset my device with WDRT but it still won't show updates on the live tiles for mail and calendar. The whole thing took about 3h which is very frustrating when nothing changes after that.
