Hi all.
I've just upgraded from office 2007 to 2010. Outlook 2010 imported my accounts and settings.
I have 3 Gmail accounts set up in outlook. I use IMAP on all of them.
My computer is running for 24 hours and it still says it synchronizing folders.
The image you see is after a restart I made so the time is in minutes.
I've deleted the account settings and add them back again and it still does that.
Is it a bug?
I had that issue with gmail and the folder synchronisation issue as well.
Unfortunately my lazy solution was just to remove the gmail accounts from outlook - I had zero inclination in trying to discover the cause
Basically, you're not alone but I can offer no help...
Nice to know I'm not alone :)
I think it's an IMAP issue rather than Gmail.
It doesn't seem to disturb the send/receive function though
I think I found an answer:
Outlook 2010 beta, gmail imap sync isuses - Gmail Help
Office Outlook 2007 / 2010. Синхронизация папок. Ошибка 0×800CCC0F. Протокол IMAP | [IT] движение
for the last link, it's in russian but I used Chrome to translate the page.
Thanks mate, that seems to work :)
For future reference:
In my case Outlook 2010 x64 + Win7 ultimate x6, was always sync the Gmail account (IMAP).
The solutions was (options > advanced > send & receive > Edit):
1) only sync in-box
2) only load title
Now Outlook starts synchronization and ends, and the best part... it alerts me about new mails.
my pleasure but the credit goes to the other dude :)
