-I have half dozen mail accounts a few microsoft a gamil and some other ones and there is no difference they are all acting the same. In this article, I have explained various ways to solve IMAP folders are not syncing. These methods help you in the synchronization process. If this does not work, you can contact your email provider. After [[https://app.globalteachershub.com/read-blog/103733_troubleshooting-outlook-connectivity-issues-with-exchange-server.html|repair corrupted OST in Outlook]] that, it is also important to secure your IMAP folder to prevent this issue from happening in the future.+Make sure they are the same if you can’t see them look at the number of stars or dots. Look at the mail server settings boxes for password and port settings they’re the ones you need to delete and reapply. Doing a send and receive manually or waiting on the scheduled send and receive on the client does not update new mail items.

 +Furthermore, when calendar invites are accepted using the Outlook client, they disappear from All Mail and go into the Trash folder, but when using WebMail, they remain in the Inbox. I have seen this disparity for years across different Outlook client versions and Windows versions. I also posted on [[https://classfollow.com/read-blog/66947_fix-your-outlook-email-connection-by-repairing-your-profile.html|Outlook Login Issues Troubleshooting]] the Gmail subreddit about a year ago.

-In the classic Outlook, I would normally check or adjust these. All default folder will show up as top-level ones and mail will start populating to the Inbox folder. Simply enter your email address OR username in order to reset your password. When you are dealing with any problem, it is important to understand the reasons behind the issues.+I have several email accounts / IMAP set-up. So looking at my tree of [[http://seynas.cn:8418/linwooddelance|disable faulty add-ins in Outlook]] email accounts one inbox might have 10 mail total and 3 unread form earlier. It's not until I click on that folder I will then see the 10 and 3 and two second later it will sync and new ones will populate. The issue is; just looking at my email accounts and the numbers shown next to the folders I cant tell if there is new mail or not until I click on them.
  
-Hot Network Questions+Chosen solution
  
-Below are some causes that contribute to the problem. There are various variables at play here however, generally speaking, Outlook performs best when operating as a front end for Microsoft Exchange and Gmail when accessed via a web browser. I’ve never heard of [[https://nzemaassociation.com/forums/users/jacintobatten8/|diagnose Office activation conflicts]] setting a path before for email, so apologies if this is a simple solution to those who come across this in the future. If you can, turn off IMAP, require 2FA, and use the native outlook client.+I have all desktop alerts turned off I prefer it this way I don't need all of that. I just want to be able to look and see new message. Even if I have an account with zero message I need to click to see the new ones there are no numbers appear. I am also running QuickFolders and its the same nothing shows up on those tabs until i physically click on them.  Ok so my mistake the Properties option is there when right clicking folder - I was only focused on right clicking on the email address to take me to server setting I was not clicking on the actual folder. I right click a folder and Properties and it take me to attached windows.

-After a minute, it was removed so just went and re-added it and BOOM. Decided to just try completely removing my Gmail account, the one that wasn’t syncing with the Mail App after the iOS 18 update. When you synchronize mail using IMAP between Gmail and a desktop mail client such as Outlook, there is a necessary delay between changes made independently at both ends being synchronized in both directions. When you are accessing Gmail via the web application everything is hosted on Google's cloud servers. +While these solutions work, there is are chance that it will happen again. To avoid that, you have to take some [[http://git.ibossay.com:3000/adelesheahan88|Fix Outlook and Office 365 Errors 2025]] precautionary steps. Pit Stop - Most of our email accounts are for small retail location. We just use POP in those locations because they do not access their mail from any other device or location.

-It's just that the contents seem completely disconnected from what I see using webmail.Run TB in safe mode (hold Shift when you launch TB) and see if it makes any difference.So, properly follow the above steps and backup your data from IMAP folders.Outlook needs to explicitly reach out to Gmail and communicate the changes you've made.I am normally looking at the All Mail folder on Outlook.I also posted on the Gmail subreddit about a year ago.When you synchronize mail using IMAP between Gmail and a desktop mail client such as Outlook, there is a necessary delay between changes made independently at both ends being synchronized in both directions.Ok so my mistake the Properties option is there when right clicking folder - I was only focused on right clicking on the email address to take me to server setting I was not clicking on the actual folder. +

-It's just a little bit technical, but we have an IMAP proxy that chooses from some different backend IMAP servers. If the user account ends up on an old IMAP server implementation (in that case f.i. a Cyrus imapd 2.4.17), IMAP Client of  iOS 18 Mail app doesn't work. If the proxy directs requests to a newer IMAP server implementation (f.i Cyrus imapd 3.6.1), the iOS 18 Mail app works as expected, even the requests are handled by the same IMAP server proxy. Suspect some Apple Dev's have been lazy with some code in IOS18's mail.app and its causing the issue. I was a little hesitant but went ahead and let it completely remove all the synced items from the account off of my iPhone.+

-I right click a folder and Properties and it take me to attached windows. I don't see - 'When getting new messages... I checked all 5 of the tabs in this window that expressions is not there. This seems bizarre the email would not populate. A stable connection between your email client and email server depends on the syncing of your IMAP folder. If the server is down and you are experiencing issues, the problem IMAP folder is not syncing occurs.+(Image: [[https://static0.makeuseofimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/office-repair-cp.png?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5|https://static0.makeuseofimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/office-repair-cp.png?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5]])
  
 +Just a few seconds after sending, my phone will show that I have a new message on my IMAP, but currently I have been waiting 10 minutes on my Outlook (2 send and receives) and no email listed yet. If an IMAP Inbox isn't displaying new messages as they arrive at the server, but only when the Inbox is selected, there is something wrong with the setup. Run TB in safe mode (hold Shift when you launch TB) and see if it makes any difference. Note also that when you click Get Messages, only the currently selected account is checked; click the drop-down to check a specific account or Get All New Messages (Shift+F5). The setting isn't present for folders that are automatically checked, such as Inbox.
  
 +Meanwhile, the "connecting" or "Checking for mail..." just stays on the bottom status bar of the mail app.Apple programmers use no CD/CI - simple sometimes update by "sales-manager requests", and without any critical-bug-checks ...Maybe some encoding behavior or just a different linefeed or something that has changed over the years...But many users run into the problem where their important IMAP folders are not syncing or stop updating.It's just a little bit technical, but we have an IMAP proxy that chooses from some different backend IMAP servers.When you are dealing with any problem, it is important to understand the reasons behind the issues.I have half dozen mail accounts a few microsoft a gamil and some other ones and there is no difference they are all acting the same.

-Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but why are you using IMAP? A primary way to compromise an O36 user is phish a user, steal their creds, and connect via IMAP to get a copy of a whole mailbox.

 +If I click off of inbox and down to sent item, then click back on inbox, all of the new mail will populate. The problem can be caused by either improper settings or a damaged send/receive group within Outlook. At first, I was thinking it may be an issue with certificates, but it's not... I went to a bunch of online TLS tests and the mail server is fine and the certificates are trusted... So only wait when some "smarties" from apple IT solve problem in app ...

-I am using TB for just three weeks now and I have issues daily when sending mail with no attachments the outgoing mail server will time out. [[https://yes.youkandoit.com/glindaholder26|modern authentication troubleshooting]] Since the sync issue is universal it appears to be a global issue. Wonder if the vpn is causing an issue. Perhaps something in TB needs to be tweaked. I have no firewall monitors running during the day that would interfere just the vpn.+Everything works great for the most part, except with our IMAP users. IMAP users are not receiving new email into their inboxes unless they either click off of Inbox and back on, or close outlook and reopen. These are the common reasons why the IMAP folder is not syncing.
