Nov 04, 2015 With the introduction of Outlook 2011 for Mac, many Mac users are asking the burning question around how to sync Outlook 2011 for Mac with the native Mac Address Book.

Outlook alternates between 'Updating this folder' and 'Trying to connect'. A manual send/receive fails with a 'Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable message'. I loaded an old mail profile for the same user account and it worked fine, when I switched back to the initial profile it started to work fine as well.
Exact same thing happened to me and I was freaking out but I figured it out (although I'm not sure if it will work for you, but doesn't hurt to try!). I selected an email from my inbox and clicked on the 'Move' button on the ribbon, then chose 'Other folder..', then I typed in one of the folder names that I could remember, found it in the list, and selected it. The email was moved to that folder, and all my other (previously created) folders then showed up in their respective inboxes. I'm not sure why it worked or how, but it did for me. Try it and let everyone else know if it works for you!
