Outlook 2011 Issues Update My Outlook

My problem: When I modify my email on my MAC, say delete an item or move it to a folder, it does not update my outlook on my work PC (or work webmail).

It is almost as if it is only modifying it locally (note: my folders are NOT under my computer).

The inbox on the MAC will update with new email and if I delete email on my work PC it will delete it on my MAC, but not the other way around.

You need to let your files completely sync prior to expecting the Outlook to function properly.

It works fine now.

The Progress Status under tools led me down the correct path and let me see the issue.

Technical Canned Answer: You can Control-Click (Right-click) on a folder and select synchronize now.

Exchange Basics The Inbox syncs more frequently than any other and should be kept as clean as possible.

Any folder with more than a few thousand messages is going to take some time to fully come down when you first sync your account.

Due to the design of Outlooks sync engine (and how exchange works), you will see the 512 newest messages in a folder at the initial start of sync then the rest of the folders contents will be back filled before you see any mail that arrives after this point.

This is why it will look like you are not getting new mail when a folder is still going through initial sync.

This is also further exacerbated by an Exchange issue where it gets unnecessary change events before the newer mail arrives.

If you carefully watch the progress during the sync of a folder with greater than a couple thousand messages, you will see Updating local.

Outlook checks the server for updates every minute, any folder that has updates will subsequently be synced.

Since Outlook has a limit on how many folders can be synced at a time, there can be a queue of folders waiting.

The Inbox does get high priority so it will generally sync before other folders that also need to sync.
