Hi -
I have Outlook 2011 running on my Mac (running Mavericks). I have it set up with Gmail over IMAP.
I am using IMAP IDLE and I can receive and send emails. My issue is largely around when I close (quit) Outlook. I have a schedule set to send and receive all on quit but whenever I quit it just closes without doing any kind of sync. So if I make changes to my Inbox content and quit Outlook before they sync, then my changes are not synced to the server. When I have used Outlook at work previously (albeit with MS Exchange) when I closed Outlook, it would do a sync before closing. Any ideas what might be wrong?
I also wanted to distinguish the behaviours for different types of sync:
- If I mark an email as read, would this be considered as part of 'Send/Receive All'?
- If I delete an email as read, would this be considered as part of 'Send/Receive All'?
If I hit the Send/Receive All button then it will sync the above type of changes but it does not do it automatically on quitting Outlook.
The other issue is that if I mark an email as read/delete an email, these changes take a long time to sync via IMAP IDLE - anything I can do to improve this?
I have highlighted my two issues/questions just in case it gets lost in the detail. :)
