Outlook 2019 and push notifications
Is there some secret config sauce I'm unaware of to get IMAP push notifications working with Outlook ?
My present situation is that non-Outlook users (e.g. Apple iOS, Apple Mail etc.) work perfectly with the config below. New emails get pushed, deletes get reflected, all is happy in the world.
But with Outlook nothing. You send a user an email, nothing happens in their inbox until you manually refresh by checking for new mails or waiting for the auto-check to kick in (sometimes switching between IMAP folders also does the trick).
I know Outlook has a long history of being a mess when it comes to standards compliance, but surely it can't be this bad ?

It can be even worse ;-(. We have user with two mailboxes on the same server (Cyrus IMAP though). And outlook at some moment just stopped checking one of them, until restart.
