Instead of adding back the office 365 account using settings / accounts and backup / 'manage accounts', I used the Android Outlook App, and chose to configure the mail account there.
but I feel that the logic behind this setup is a bit dubious.Īlso, as an aside, during my experimenting I tried adding the office 365 mail account a totally different way, and 'things worked' but appeared differently. I chose 'save contact to' / 'microsoft exchange activesync' / always, and now everything is working as expected again. So - if you choose 'phone' as the 'save contact to' location, and assume (incorrectly) that sync will occur thanks to having chosen to sync contacts elsewhere, and then choose 'always', you will forever be saving contacts ONLY to the phone and sync will never occur again! If you choose 'just once', you get to make the same choices next time you try to save a contact (and could choose to save / sync the contact to a different account), but if you choose 'always', that's it - you will never be asked again (until you delete the accounts, or some other 'reset' condition that I'm not aware of). Secondly, and still on this screen, the choices of 'just once' and 'always' are crucial. This further implies you can only sync contacts with one outside account, despite having multiple accounts configured on the phone. And if you choose to 'save contact to' Exchange ActiveSync, you are actually telling the phone to save the contact to the phone, and also sync the contact to Exchange ActiveSync. But if you in fact choose to save the contact to 'phone', what I believe this means is, save contact to phone ONLY and DO NOT SYNC (even though you've elsewhere told the phone to sync contacts!). You shouldn't be asked if you want to 'save contact to' (eg) Exchange ActiveSync. In my mind, if you have a 'sync' solution for contacts, you should only ever have to 'save' a contact to the 'phone', since that's what 'sync' is there for - to sync the phone to whatever outside services you may have. It also has choices for 'just once' and 'always'.Īt this point, before proceeding, I wanted to discuss this screen. the option is presented to 'save contact to', and it offers (in my case) 'Phone', 'Google', 'Microsoft Exchange Active Sync' (the list of options will reflect the number of accounts you have configured on your phone).
I then went to the phone app, 'recents' list, and chose an unsaved number from the list I then chose 'add to contacts', 'create new contact'. NOTE - removing and re-adding the account caused some orphan contacts that were in the phone but not office 365 to be deleted, so be warned. Once added, I verified that 'sync on for all items' was shown for this account. I then re-added the account in the same area, using the 'add account' option, and then choosing 'microsoft exchange ActiveSync' option. To address the issue, I first fully removed the Office365 / 'Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync' account at the 'settings' / 'accounts and backup' / 'manage accounts' screen (choosing 'remove account' from within the account entry). I spent days researching, experimenting, and finally today I got it working again, but I'd like to see if others agree with my conclusions and also, provide info for others who may have run into this. Similarly, contacts added in Outlook on my laptop would show up in the Contacts list on the phone within minutes.

Up until recently, after making a call to a new number, I could choose to 'create contact' from the 'recents' list, and that name / number would automatically show up in my Office365 account online and in my windows 10 outlook installation within minutes. I use the native 'phone' app (green background, white phone symbol) which in turn uses the native 'contacts' app (orange background, white 'person' symbol, version 12.1.20.11). More details: I have a Samsung S10 phone running Android 11 (up to date as of this posting).
My Android contacts used to sync with my Office 365 (exchange server) mail account, but this stopped working.
