Kerio Outlook Connector hasn't been able to deliver the message

Author: Vladyslav Velychko Updated

Overview

Users are getting an email message from Kerio Outlook Connector regarding a synchronization issue. The following error on the message is displayed:

Email Subject: Unable to synchronize a message!
Message:
Kerio Outlook Connector hasn't been able to deliver the message.

We are sorry, but an error occurred while synchronizing the <email_data> message from the server to your Outlook account. This is usually caused by an error in the message, but there may be a bug in the product too.
The original message can be found in the Failed Message.eml attachment and you may succeed in opening it. You can also use Kerio Connect Client to access the message.
