I dunno who out there has an email account that's an IMAP server and uses Outlook, but I keep running into the same annoying problem--I think it may be a bug within Outlook itself..
My school's email servers are IMAP-based. I use Outlook to manage both my Yahoo! mail and my school email account. Several times a week I am forced to delete my IMAP account from Outlook and set it up again because Outlook "forgets" to send-and-recieve on the account, even when I select "Send and Recieve All." The shortcut on my Outlook Bar becomes invalid, pointing to my Yahoo! mail inbox instead of the remote inbox on the mail server. It works fine when I send and recieve on that account manually, but it won't do it automatically. Does anyone out there have the same problem?
