Summary0002972: Outlook 2013 ActiveSync stuck on Waiting for server response
Description

Hello,

My customer has quite large inbox (0002405:0006000 emails). He have't used activesync for 2 weeks. Now when he opened, Outlook won't sync emails. It will stuck on "Waiting for server response". Synced only email that was sent when outlook was open, not older ones.

TagsNo tags attached.

Do you get old emails when you do some changes on them? >mark them as unread/read

I set up a fresh profile. It synced all emails.

Without the steps to reproduce I just can do some guessing.
I assume that it happens that outlook send a sync request with getChanges=fales and if that is the first call after a long "break" it currently set the syncKey to the latest value and this ignores all previous emails on the next sync request.

The attached patch should fix that. Due to lake of time it is not tested. Maybe somebody can do some testing with it and provide feedback.

I found some time to do some tests... There is some more work needed to fix the issue. Although the patch is working for email folders there will be an issue that dup events will be created on the client sending new events.
-> syncCache is needed for calendar and contacts folder.

Can you specify dup events part?
Does it mean that duplicate events are created when client creates new event?

Yes, this can happen with the patch. If there is no change on the server the event will sent to the client as an addition on each sync since the serverKey doesn't change. -> more work is needed to fix this...
