For my live.com account, the mail box syncs seamlessly and it is working 100% fine and I am getting new emails as they come in. 

For my hotmail.com account, all the folders have synced except my inbox. Only 3 emails in my inbox have synced (the 3 latest emails on the day I set up the account to sync via imap on my mac mail). The rest of the inbox has not synced and neither am I getting any new emails. It has been more than a week and I am getting new emails in the folders, but not the inbox. 

Please don't delay by asking for a snapshot of the account settings as it is obviously correct as (1) I've used the same setting for both accounts and the other account works perfectly, and (2) the other folders have synced and this is only affecting my inbox. 

This seems to be a common error being faced by a lot of users judging by the various postings on this forum and other places online. 

Have you guys found a resolution?
