I have having the same error message. The test outlook 2007 email from my @me.com account is sent out properly from PC (outlook) to my iphone 4s, but nothing shows up in my outlook inbox. I can also send an email from another account to my @me.com email and it comes to my iphone but does not come to outlook. I can send emails (SMTP) from outlook @me.com accout to other email accounts, but just the receiving of email (IMAP) seems to be the problem. Account is setup so that outgoing SMTP server requires authentication and uses the same settings as incoming mail server. SPA is not required for logon as directed.
I set up outlook IMAP to work with outlook 2007 exactly as apple described, although the directions are WEAK and the screenshots not even legible for the setup. Don't make it harder then it is already Apple.
Specifically the error I'm getting is "Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folder for xxxx@me.com.' reported error (0x800CC0E): 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folder for xxxx@me.com. Error: Cannot connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server admin or ISP.'
any help would be appreciated...
