Hi, I have been having problems with Outlook 2013 and synchronization of IMAP folders. When I open Outlook it works fine for 15-20 minutes and then Send/Receive for some of the IMAP accounts gets stuck. The task “Synchronizing subscribed folders for …” stays with “Processing” forever and never completes.
Subsequent Send/Receive actions do not retrieve new emails. I have to manually cancel the task that is stuck and then be able to receive new emails.
This behavior happened quite randomly, I haven’t been able to identify a pattern but it makes Outlook 2013 useless because I have to constantly check if the Send/Receive is stuck. I tried deleting and recreating my email accounts but this did not fix the problem.
Another odd behavior I am seeing is the Sync log issues. Again quite randomly Outlook 2013 will start synchronizing a folder and this will continue indefinitely. Within an hour the Sync Issues folder will get thousands of entries like this one:
13:15:07 Synchronizer Version 15.0.rup
13:15:07 Synchronizing Mailbox '…'
13:15:08 Synchronizing server changes in folder 'IvanL'
13:15:09 Done
It seems as if Outlook goes into a loop. After a restart it works fine for some time and then the above problems start happening again.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
