+ + + +I am aware of the difference between Gmail's labels vs. Outlook's folders, but I would expect that Gmail does what is necessary to make the folders appear correct over the IMAP connection to Outlook. For example, if I drag a message from Outlook's All Mail folder to Trash, I see that message disappear from the Inbox folder after a short delay. Hence, the trashing of messages is registering on Gmail. It's just that the contents seem completely disconnected from what I see using webmail. + +Why IMAP Folder is Not Properly Syncing? + +Meanwhile, the "connecting" or "Checking for mail..." just stays on the bottom status bar of the mail app. I deleted the Apple Mail [rebuild Outlook data file quickly](https://www.fionapremium.com/author/skyeologhle/) app from the phone, reinstalled from the App Store. So only wait when some "smarties" from apple IT solve problem in app ... Apple programmers use no CD/CI - simple sometimes update by "sales-manager requests", and without any critical-bug-checks ... Full cleanup of ALL accounts is not a solution(and re-add even helps not). + + + +Chosen Solution + +I work in a small company and for the past 2 weeks we've been having issues with customer support Outlook account. The account is used as IMAP in all customer support clients, every time you set up the mail in anyones computer [Reset Cached Exchange Mode](https://scocentral.org/groups/imap-mail-clients-not-syncing-all-emails-with-server/) it just sync 30-50GB ost files... And because of the size, this is making the mail simply stop working after one day of normal use, forcing the users to end outlook process to make the mail sync again properly... But only when you close/open the mail again. + + + +IMAP folder sync issue in the new Outlook (moved emails not syncing to webmail) + +The responsables of the mail told us to move all the mails from past years to a new account to reduce it's size, but after doing that it doesn't seems to be working. This problem isn't anything new, this happens every year or so, but this time it just isn't getting fixed.

Below are some causes that contribute to the problem. There are various variables at play here however, generally speaking, Outlook performs best when operating as a front end for Microsoft Exchange and Gmail when accessed via a web browser. I’ve never heard of setting a path before for email, so apologies if this is a simple solution to those who come across this in the future.
