# Troubleshooting Microsoft configuration

Source: https://developer.nylas.com/docs/provider-guides/microsoft/troubleshooting/

This page describes common issues you might encounter when using Microsoft accounts with Nylas and how to troubleshoot them.

## Gather Exchange logs

Sometimes, Nylas can't sync because of internal errors on the Exchange server. Because we can't access any logging information, it can be difficult to determine why the Exchange server is experiencing these errors.

If you need help troubleshooting your Exchange server and you have a contract with us, you can share more detailed error information from the Exchange server with us.

1. Log in to [Outlook on the web](https://outlook.live.com/).
2. On the menu bar, click the **Settings** symbol.
3. Select **General > Mobile devices** in the left navigation.
4. Find the mobile device that you want to enable logging for an click the **pencil** symbol to view its details.

5. Review the device's details and confirm that the **User agent** is `python-EAS-client 1.0`. This is the name that Nylas uses to connect to your application.
6. Click the **Enable logging** symbol, and click **Save**.
7. Reproduce the issue you experienced. If you have a general sync issue, try sending a test message and let the logger gather data for about 10 minutes.
8. Check your inbox for a message titled "Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Logs".
9. Download the message and include it as an attachment when you [reach out for support](/docs/support/#contact-nylas-support).
