That’s odd. The one and only thing that Lookout does pretty well is IMAP.
After several hours scouring the net last night, I am surprised to hear that. Certainly has never been my experience with outlook, especially 2013...
is there some special trick that google is hiding from me?
Not really.
I went in armed with a list of possible fixes and did battle with the two machines today. started by installing thunderbird and shutting off outlook, which absolutely proved outlook was the problem; as soon as I started up outlook again, thunderbird showed mails being created and deleted every few seconds. Went through my list, everything from A-W (account settings to windows updates). So far so good, it's too early to say it is fixed, but I am past the two hour mark now with no problems...
I have absolutely no problem with MS Outlook 2013 and Dovecot and I have it on four machines. I did have to tweak the root folder path though once. I am not sure exactly why, but that took care of everything.
