Outlook 2013 not fetching new mail/synchronization issues

29 Jun 2015

      Hi all,
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:

  Emails were sent since user closed Outlook

  Next day: start computer, open outlook

  No new email (even though email were sent overnight)

  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!
