Their webmail works fine, and when this account is added to the Windows Mail app, everything works perfectly. These are the common reasons why the IMAP folder is not syncing. To resolve the IMAP issue, I will explain different solutions in the upcoming section of the article. It's just a little bit technical, but we have an IMAP proxy that chooses from some different backend IMAP servers. If the user account ends up on an old IMAP server implementation (in that case f.i. a Cyrus imapd 2.4.17), IMAP Client of iOS 18 Mail app doesn't work. If the proxy directs requests to a newer IMAP server implementation (f.i Cyrus imapd 3.6.1), the iOS 18 Mail app works as expected, even the requests are handled by the same IMAP server proxy.
Why IMAP Folder is Not Properly Syncing?
My VPN was working in the background, even though the file was closed. That means that Mail app fully connected to server , asked for statuses, but not [flush DNS and re-sync Outlook](https://code.swecha.org/bryce90p917137/online-outlook-email-repair-utility2004/-/issues/1) displaying anything.

Chosen Solution
A primary way to compromise an O36 user is phish a user, steal their creds, and connect via IMAP to get a copy of a whole mailbox.

IMAP folder sync issue in the new Outlook (moved emails not syncing to webmail)
When you synchronize mail using IMAP between Gmail and a desktop mail client such as Outlook, there is a necessary delay between changes made independently at both ends being synchronized in both directions. When you are accessing Gmail via the web application everything is hosted on Google's cloud servers. So it must be something in IMAP protocol handling on the old server that makes the iOS Mail app go out of sync or crash the syncing mechanism on the iOS device. Maybe some encoding behavior or just a different linefeed or something that has changed over the years... Otherwise why even have the ability to auto-sync? If I need to click on each folder to force the sync/download from server then auto sync serves no purpose.
See the attached picture for the Properties window for a user-created folder.I also posted on the Gmail subreddit about a year ago.This anomaly also occurs when using the hosting system (first type), using different names for inbound and outbound servers.Their webmail works fine, and when this account is added to the Windows Mail app, everything works perfectly.I also noticed that some IMAP settings — like the root folder path (e.g. "INBOX") — are not available in the new Outlook, which makes troubleshooting more difficult.I would suggest that frequent changes to folder contents on multiple devices will make it go wrong.Subscribing to a folder makes it appear in the Folder Pane, but one might not always want a folder to be synced automatically if it is mainly an archive folder or one that seldom receives new mail.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.
My accounts in Mail app stopped to sync post update
The problem is that the some changes are not reflected in the Gmail web app. By [FixTechGuide fix for stuck folders](https://customerscomm.com/read-blog/133913_clearing-cached-credentials-for-outlook-iet-knowledge-base.html) web app, I mean webmail accessed via Firefox or Chrome for (say) Windows 10, not smartphone app. To set up a mail account, we can set the same standard name "mail.mydomain.com" as the incoming and outgoing mail server. My comment about 3rd party email -- is a 3rd email app called Email - Edison Mail (from the App Store) I set up my mail accounts in the app and everything works as it should. I’ve tried repairing the data file, removing and re-adding the account, rebooting, re-installing Outlook/Office, running SFC/DISM, all to no avail.
Get email updates
I checked all 5 of the tabs in this window that expressions is not there. This seems bizarre the email would not populate. A stable connection between your email client and email server depends on the syncing of your IMAP folder.
