**(83) What does 'User is authenticated but not connected' mean?**
This is likely a confusing Microsoft Exchange (Office365) message telling that the password is invalid.
Less likely is that you are synchronizing too many folders.
This can also happen due to abruptly losing connectivity resulting in not properly closed connections.
So, double check the password or reduce the number of folders to synchronize, see also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq23).

When FairEmail cannot connect to an email server to receive messages,
for example when the internet connection is bad or a firewall or a VPN is blocking the connection,
FairEmail will wait 8, 16 and 32 seconds while keeping the device awake (=use battery power) and try again to connect.
If this fails, FairEmail will schedule an alarm to retry after 15, 30 and 60 minutes and let the device sleep.
Note that [Android doze mode](https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby)
does not allow to wake the device earlier than after 15 minutes.

Sending messages will be retried on connectivity changes only
(reconnecting to the same network or connecting to another network)
to prevent the email server from blocking the connection permanently.
*Force sync* in the three-dots menu of the unified inbox can be used to let FairEmail attempt to reconnect without waiting.
You can pull down the outbox to retry manually.
