If you are on a shared server, Live Support can review the logs for you. You can easily submit a ticket request via AMP. Often, this type of problem can be caused by multiple accounts connecting to the server simultaneously, or repetitively. For example, if you have 6 people with their client set to check every 10 minutes, it would equal requests per hour.

Another cause could be one of the clients checking every minute or more. This can often be caused by a broken or mis-configured email client. But now i saw another problem. In outlook i have many folders for emails, so I put today ten emails to folder X.

And lately i went into it and saw only 8 emails. I thought maybe I deleted them, but then i went to my Mailbox online and i found 10 emails in that folder!!! So where they dissapeared in Outlook?

If you are using IMAP then the emails should be in plain view. Are you sure there are no search filters in preventing you from seeing all of the emails? I cant connect it? As all other email in Outlook is shown ok… But what I did, I opened my mailbox on browser, and i moved those two emails to inbox and in seconds it reappeared in my outlook INBOX! Then I moved them to the same folder in Outlook and vualia I can see them! So I did nothing. I didnt change anything… How can I avoid such situations???

There may also be a setting in the Microsoft Outlook that you have missed. If you have created any rules or filters that move email, then the Outlook email program does this. Make sure to look closely at your Outlook client settings. The IMAP protocol allows you to have multiple folders, but you must subscribe to the folders on the server in order to have the emails appear in Outlook as they are on the server.

I hope this helps to answer your question. I do understand that this can be a confusing subject. There are many settings that are in Microsoft Outlook, if they are set correctly, then behavior in the email client may appear odd.

If you require further assistance, please indicate your Outlook client settings and indicate if there are any filters. Please let us know if you have any further questions or comments. No, the problem wasnt in that situation! The problem was that I could see those emails Online but not in my Outlook.

And now I see it happens again. And there is no filters. How do I know it? Then I move it to the same folder in Outlook and now I can see it! And also i see it online… Why is this happening? I just came across the postings and comments. We have a single email account that is configured on six computers. One of the client Outlook or all, have used more bandwidth in 3 days brought the website and server down.

The email account if configured to hold MB of email. We have taken a number of steps to correct this issue including the removal and recreation of the email account. Do you have any thoughts why Outlook would be constantly pinging the server to the point of crashing it?

Push doesnt work anymore… if i do it manually it works fine, what could be the solution? The way your phone connects to the server should have nothing to do with the way Outlook connects to the server. Are you getting any error messages? If so, please include the entire message text so we can review your issue for any problems. There should be no direct conflict between the Outlook and the Android.

They do not know each other exists as they both simply connect to the server. Please reply with any error messages you are getting on your Android. Please check our article on sending email but not receiving. This may be able to help you with your situation. IMAP synchronisation was working perfect on my phone untill i installed Outlook to my computer!

The PUSH mail stopped working. Every time i need to manual retrieve emails… What could be the issue? Changing it back to no folder specified brought my folders back, but the many of the email messages are missing and the folders will not sync, still. Is there any way to return the messages to the folders? This is for my work email server not my gmail. In researching the issue, the current answer from Microsoft is to start a ticket with their support so that they can investigate the issue and determine why your installation is not synchronizing properly.

Microsoft may also have a fix for this issue, as it is definitely related to their software client. As it does appear that you have tried the steps in this article, your next step may be to contact Microsoft to follow up on the issue with their support group. You can manually forward your emails and then re-organize them into the folders, but this will not provide you a solution for why the synchronization is not working.

Our apologies, as the program is third-party the synchronization may require further attention from Microsoft in order to obtain a fix. Make sure that you make a backup before deleting content you deem is important. When I go to her webmail account at Gmail it reflects the same folders. My mail downloaded! This how I am now getting my mail.

Also the inbox count does not match the number of Emails. Let us know is know if this helps correct your email issues. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Sorry to hear about the email trouble you are having. Most likely, you will have to change the setting back to the original folder name for the files to return. Is there nobody at Microsoft who can fic this issue as the whole internet is full of this problem.

It did NOT resolve the problem of forcing my outlook to synch. Now ALL my subfolders under Inbox have disappeared. I cannot find any way to make them appear. I know they exist because I can search for topics and see the emails in them. Hello — hope you can help. My web guys who host the server suggested that I delete my imap account and set up another account as a pop account so the outlook became my primary. I did this yesterday after backing up my files. Outlook has uploaded all of the emails but I cant see any of the emails either in my inbox or sent box although stragely I can see the emails in my other inbox sub folders.

For this issue it will be best for your web guys to check the actual files and the logs regarding your email account as it seems like something is missing. I would suggest making sure your server side is correct prior to working on the client side. I am soooooo happy with this FIX! Outlook loaded like a charm and synchronization said all was well. BUT not incoming mail. I was a little skeptical since this was a post from but it is still a fix in Nov.

Goto to this links. Again goto to this links. Finally goto. To re-enable pop and imap once again in your gmail setting follow these steps. Try again in outlook as given below. Open Outlook and….

The Microsoft Outlook 20xx Startup screen should now be open. For a previously setup Outlook ie. The Auto Account Setup screen should now be in-view. Enter your details into the Internet E-mail Settings screen as follows:. Click the More Settings… button, then select the Outgoing Server tab. Select the Use same settings as my incoming mail server option.

Select the Advanced tab, then enter port details as follows:. Outlook will now attempt to logon to the incoming server, then send a test message to the outgoing server. If Outlook is successful at both, you will see 2 green ticks , click the Close button on the Test Account Settings popup.

You should now see the Congratulations! If Outlook was unsuccessful 1 or 2 red cross double-check your settings and if needed, go through this guide again. Google blocks the logon attempt. Not sure if this was addressed already but im having sporadic issues with emails not popluating in Outlook Office Its set up with IMAP, the emails will show up in my phone and on the google webmail but not in outlook. We have addressed any issues with Outlook problems, because they have been mainly a Microsoft issue.

If you can provide us more information on your account or the email address where the problem is occurring, we would be happy to look further into the issue for you if you are a customer of InMotion.

Sporadic issues with email would be very difficult to troubleshoot without access to the logs or the email account where the problem is occurring. Make sure that you have updated Outlook with their latest updates. Changing the root designation in your email client does NOT delete email off of the server.

You can always see all of the email by using our free webmail clients. Provide us this info and we would be happy to look into the issue further for you. Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with Outlook Before switching to Live mail, you may want to try setting up your Outlook from scratch. Also, it may be helpful to contact Live Support at the time you are connecting, so they can review the logs and see if you are communicating with the server.

Are you using Outlook , or Office ? Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having. Have you tried setting up the email client from scratch, or possible reloading the software. Have you already subscribed to your Inbox? Have you contacted your email host while you are trying to connect? I also found a similar question in the Official Outlook forums , where they are discussing this issue. First off, you need to let us know that changeing the root path could delete any folders you might want to be syncing.

Unchecking the box as shown in this article should not affect any of your messages on the server itself. Unchecking this box simply allows all folder for the account to be shown and not just the specifically defined subscribed folders. Unfortunately, I am unsure what caused the issues that you had, but I do know that this has been tested several times and has not bee known to cause any issues.

I followed the directions up to and including the Advanced tab and the window did not have an option called folder. It almost made me believe that I am in the wrong area.

The update and instructions do not typically lead to this type of behavior. If you continue to have problems with the Outlook client, you might be best served by consulting with Microsoft support — as they will have the latest support and patch information concerning that software.

Maybe that was a Duh that I should have known. It appears to be fine now. Thank You. You know this can happen — at least two times before — I got lucky and was feeding my ego by seeing if my first comment was posted. The last two commentators were staring me in the face. Now, do the right thing and make it known that the fix will screw your email storage completely up. This fix is not acceptable without prior notice that the loss of every email not in the inbox can disappear.

I will be checking daily to see how much integrity you have. Edwin Attaway — you have my email twice now. Contact me directly and give me a piece of your mind, if you feel like you are not in error. I welcome a spirited exchange. This time, kindest regards. Edwin Attaway. My outlook has major synch problems. The sent messages always remain on the Exit folder, they never get moved to the sent folder but they are sent I get the answers and received confirmation and everytime I synchronize I get the following message:.

So you see this is complex and I am getting tired of it. Hopefully you can help me. You could try removing and re-adding the account. Otherwise, your best solution may be to contact Microsoft.

I wanted to say how helful you have been to many people with so many issues. I have been keeping an eye on the post and have reset all my email settings as described which has worked and allows me to access my emails through outlook.

However I still have to force a down load every couple of days whcih may work or I have to log out of outlook and reopen, sometimes I still have to go to account settings-repair—force down load. Sometimes this doesnt work either and I go to account settings-change, if this doesnt work I go to account setings-data files and re click set to default or open the settings and click ok. Either way I either get my emails without doing anything as it should or I fiddle around and eventually get them.

My question is why do i need to do this and is there something else I could be doing to improve it further? To check on them, try logging into webmail and reviewing your messages. My sent emails would not show in the Sent Items Folder. I tried the possible solutions and none applied to my situation. I have two other emails and the sent emails show up fine in the Sent Items Folder. The problem email pst was in a different folder, so I moved it to the same folder as the other two pst files.

Problem solved. I have an IMAP server it was working fine with outlook we are under process to upgrade to outlook its under testing. I am not able to see the folder content its all blank in outlook Have you ensured that all your folders have been subscribed to?

Also, be sure to read the above and follow those instructions as well. Thanks for the steer, yup, you were dead right -because I had a device downloading emails which still had pop3 details set up it was causing a conflict. Once I made sure all my devices were pointing at the imap server the problem was resolved. I called register. As the fix seems to be on the MS side of things, they are the ones who would have any information for a patch. I check my webmail — and that inbox is completely empty too.

If you do not have the updates listed above, your problems is most likely unrelated. If emails are not available in Webmail, they were removed, or downloaded. Most likely via POP, which removes emails from the server by default. You should provide an illustration of where to find the folders tab next to the favorites tab. You totally lost me. Decided to move some files into sub folders for safe keeping last night due to all the problems and shazam they are gone.

Gone completely, log onto the webmail and they are not there. So frustrated as these were some business files why didnt I just save to my computer????????

I have discovered the only way I can get OUtlook to download is file-account settings-repair-then force download, I have to do this each time and it doesnt neccessarily work each time. I recieve no error message just nothing happens or it says it has sent the test message and nothing.

Outlook has been a problem for me for most of the year. Not your fault! The reason is simple: Office is a piece of crapware supporting just their own Microsoft technologies. Try to create new email folder under IMAP and then delete it! Try to set sent items and trash! Forget about Microsoft and Outlook This is a solution, nothing else! First, I recommend removing the account from Outlook and re-add it. If both of those solutions fail, you may want to contact Microsoft for more information.

As these solutions were written for a specific issue within Outlook several months ago, the solutions provided may not work for current issues. If you could clarify the specific issues you are having, I will be happy to provide you as much information as possible for a solution.

As these solutions applied to a specific issue several months ago, many times they will not resolve some current issues. Could you clarify what error messages you are getting? If you are looking for an altrernative, I recommend Thunderbird. To be more specific, no matter how many emails we delete we still keep getting a message saying our inbox is full. Being as we are a company and charity, it is very annoying that we are sometimes unable to send email, or even recieve them.

We were hoping that following the steps to solve the probelm above would help, but no luck. This can be caused by your spam box being full or your quota being too low. You can increase your inbox quota in cPanel by clicking on the Email Accounts. There are more issues with the IMAP folder synchronization. I do not have the mentioned updates and Outlook synchronizes only partly files with the IMAP folder which cause me loss of files etc. In addition, synchronization takes much longer as the set interval for synchronization.

If I terminate Outlook and start it a gain, a partly synchronization starts. By restarting Outlook 2- 3 times, I get all latest E-mails from the server but this does not help with subfolders which do only partly synchronize even if I only synchronize the subfolders with missing files. None of the steps have helped. I have been without Outlook now for 3 months for the second time this year. Totally Frustrated…….. Wont trust it again will now need to find other solution. Hi, I tried to follow these guidelines but they caused me even more problems.

I didnt have the two updates installed and the subscribed folders option was already unticked so nothing to change there and only one option to try. However setting the Inbox as the root completely screwed things up for me so I would urge CAUTION if tyring this one — my subscribed folders disappeared from the folder list and wouldnt return if I remove the Inbox as the root folder.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are happy to try and help you, but will need some additional information. Do you have a lot of emails stored in your IMAP folders? If you have a lot of emails stored in IMAP, it can cause delays. This is because every time you access email it has to ask for all the emails and populate a list of them all. If your email is hosted on our servers, we can Automatically Archive your emails by month. They are still accessible and searchable, just not all stored in the same folder.

It is also possible the server is experiencing issues. I could not locate an account on our servers for you, but we would be happy to investigate further if you want to provide your domain name.

I updated the spelling in this guide. It was taken from our full guide on Subscribing to your Inbox. If your email is not hosted on our servers, you may have to contact your hosting provider for their specific settings. Since IMAP leaves your emails on the server by default, they should still be stored on the server. Please help.

If your email is hosted on our servers, we would need to know your specific account information to troubleshoot. It may be easier to contact Live Support so they can review the logs in real-time, while you are attempting to connect.

Thank you i fixed the problem. In my case it was issue with the folders. It would be helpful to give a longer description, perhaps in a separate article, of the problem that this article resolves. Sometimes it takes days before Outlook picks up the mail, and then only if I keep Outlook open for that period of time. But I have to say, that this is by far the best article I have found on the topic.

Thank you for putting it out there. Hi, for some reason Outlook stopped picking up mail today. No error messages. It thinks it is sending and receiving. Also, cubemail and horde show different things in the inbox. The webmail interface is the most accurate as it is showing exactly what is located on the server.

It is possible that there could just be a small issue in Outlook. Try restarting Outlook or your computer to ensure that it is fully eliminating any processes that could just be stuck. If that fails, you may need to remove and re-add the email account. It sounds like you might have a local firewall that is preventing you from being able to access your mail. You are very welcome. It sounds like something more than likely changed on the server end of things. Another thing you might want to keep in mind, are you connecting over WiFi, or using your cellphone connection?

You might be possibly running into an issue through your network for connecting to the IMAP port, either for a standard connection, or typically for a SSL secured connection. My problem with Outlook involves emails sent by people using their gmail accounts. These meail appear in my Outlook inbox but when Outlook is reopened the emails are listed and then immediately disappear.

My other folders delete, sent outbox, etc. I am not quite as adept as most on this forum, but am more than willing to try anything to keep these gmail-sent emails in my inbox.

Can you help? Per Microsoft, this issue has been addressed with their updates. If you have applied the correct updates and the problem is still occurring, then you may need to contact Microsoft for support as any fixes made for this product will need to be done by their programming team.

Sorry to hear about the problems. It is very strange. If it were a problem, it would definitely be reported. Have you made sure that these emails were simply not being filtered out or removed with a spam filter? I use Gmail myself, and I am unable to duplicate these issues.

Double-check your filters or any rules that automatically move email around in Outlook to make sure that it is not doing something to your messages. I too had this problem and I solved it by finding where the gmail ost file was being kept go to account settings, data file and open folder where the gmail ost file is located and save that path. Shut down Outlook , opened file explorer and went to the directory that contained my gmail ost file.

Restarted Outlook and everything came back and it has been syncing just fine since then. Thanks all. I think this answer is very well laid out. Unfortunately, I have not heard any word about this update. Could you provide me with the specific update version number so that I can get more information as well as provide others with it?

Also, subscribing to specific folders in Outlook may resolve your issue. Tried everything suggested and it still has not fixed the problem. This article is for an error that occurred in February so this particular issue should not be occurring.

Please let us know your particular issue so we can assist you the best we can. I read all the threads concerning this problem, but did not read anyone having the same type of trouble. On my PC, I am able to view incoming email into inbox, however, within a minute or two the email disappears. This kind of problem is often related to two types of email protocols being used. POP3 Downloads the files from the server. So, if the files are there, they may be there until the phone syncs, and then the files are no longer on the server, but on your phone.

The best way to resolve this would be to change the phone to use IMAP or at least make sure that it does. If you require further assistance, please provide us a domain name and the steps duplicate the problem so that we may investigate the issue further. The basics are there, but otherwise it seems to have arbitrarily chosen only a few to display. I have not installed the KB updates you suggested to delete, and nothing else I have tried works. And I cannot find an answer anywhere for this problem.

I just re-formatted my hard drive last week and reloaded windows 8. I have troubleing getting timely e-mails when I sync. Takes several hours to days to get e-mails come through.

I tried un-installing most of my updates…no luck. Any other suggestions?? I get no error messages, just wont load e-mails. Thanks for your help. Sorry to hear about your problems with Outlook and office I very very much appreciate this helpful info. I am trying to sync the emails from my mac to my PC desktop. I am using Outlook With IMAP, I am able to view, send and receive email from my desktop but my Sent folder is empty and I am missing a few months of email.

My mac has all emails from up to July But in my pc, I am missing June to January I started syncing my email on July 3. Some emails were probably misredirected in the process. Your issue does not seem to be related to updates KB or KB Since you are only seeing older emails on the Mac, they may have been downloaded via POP, and are now stored on the Mac.

How this is accomplished depends on your specific email clients, for example Mac Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. Are you trying to use Outlook on your iPad? I seem to have the problem described, but do not find amongst my updates either of the updates indicated.

Any new developments? I looked around to see any updates, but the link does go the download link for the Outlook update If you are unable to find the right update, you would be better served contacting Microsoft for the correct update link and files.

You may need to completely remove the account and re-add it to resolve the issue. You could also simply try just deleting the incorrect folders as well. By clicking the main mail box, unsubscribed from the folder, press apply, subscribed to the folder, press apply and the forced a read, everything loaded up. Thanks for the tip. Are you using the Gmail app on your Android device? I have no e-mauils from to It sounds like you might need to speak with your email host, as it seems you are using a Microsoft Exchange server.

If possible, you might have direct webmail access to the server where you can look to see if your missing messages are actually stored still on the server and just unable to sync with your Outlook client. Please contact your email host for info on how you might access that. Fixed — was a corrupt Outlook Profile. Creating a new one and setting everything up from scratch and normal service is resumed for noe. Thanks for the reply. The account was set up from scratch already.

I do access my email from my Android phone and my Android tablet. I thought the whole purpose in using IMAP was the ability to do this. The constant synching has mysteriously stopped at least for now. Here are some of them which you can encounter with your Outlook:. Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable.

Try again later. After learning about the reason behind the synchronization issue and its outcome, now go through some manual procedures which can correct the matter and allow the Outlook to receive new messages. If any of the methods do not work to remove the problem, then you need to remove and add the IMAP account again with the Outlook. But, do not install such updates which hamper the performance of Outlook still. In severe cases, the messages may get corrupt due to bad installation of updates and the data will be inaccessible.

If you do not want to face such a scenario, then you should take the assistance of professional software like Kernel for OST to PST converter. You can migrate the mailbox from OST file, and the tool provides the best-suited filters to select only the essential data.

When I installed the KB security patch, then it said that it would help in using Outlook on touch screen devices, but the Outlook started hanging soon.
