Re: Outlook 2013 not fetching new mail/synchronization issues

Hi all,

sorry short in time , not reading your config

but in most cases problems on windows are based on firewall/proxies either local or at the gateway, sometimes with other net issuses

local firewall may included in antivirus solutions, have you checked this ? have you tried thunderbird on the same machine ?

Dovecot 2.2.10 CentOS 6 64 bit.

We are having terrible synchronization issues with Outlook 2013 (all updates) on Windows 7 SP1 and 8.1 hosts (all updates).

Scenario:

1.   Emails were sent since user closed Outlook

2.   Next day: start computer, open outlook

3.   No new email (even though email were sent overnight)

4.   half a day later Outlook fetches emails like nothing happened

Second issue: folders created or email send in Outlook 2013 does not synchronize on IMAP, they remain only local ..

But I am mostly interested into finding a fix for the first synchronization issue described in scenario. Second is also important

but I have a feeling its connected to the first.

Any help will be highly appreciated!
