In the process of slimming down my inbox (moving stuff to other folders) Ive noticed some odd behaviour by sync. If I look at the msg count on the new folder after the move it has the expected msg count. Sync chugs away and after a while the Yahoo web mail shows the same msg count. Then...

Ive been told by MS that Outlook 2013 Rules dont work right with IMAP. (That is certainly not inconsistent with my experience migrating form Outlook 2007). Im trying to manage my Bulk Mailings (ie 'spam' that I actually want to keep, at least for limited time periods). Are there reliable...

Further down the rabbit hole of Outlook 2013 & Sync issues .... Im seeking confirmation that what Ive been told by MS support is accurate and makes sense. Im just moving to Outlook 2013 from 2007, with IMAP account. I have a large email collection, organised into various folders by Rules and...

Is it better to have one rule for each selection criterion (basically, "from") or to group by action (eg move to "keep 90 days" folder, with multiple selections)? Im thinking mainly about execution efficiency if theres a material difference in elapsed time. Absent that, seperate rule for...

One can select on a specific date range but how can one have a rule apply to messages in the Inbox that are > 3 days old (say)?

Humble apologies if this dups other thread(s) - please redirect me. Im new here ... Actually I have several questions about Outlook 2013 but Ill break them down. This concerns sync issues. I'm somewhat mystified by how this works. I should explain that I have a moderate sized email...
