Hi @manfred, thanks for your reply.
At this moment the commands are working again, and I seem to have reached a stable situation syncing Outlook and a Samsung pad. I’m very reluctant to touch anything right now while trying to reproduce the situation.
At that moment, by the way, I was using file states.
The basics of incident management helped me out I guess:
do a clean install again
do a reboot
be patient, it might work tomorrow in some miraculous way
