Congratulations, you have successfully set up your One.com mail account in Outlook 2011 for Mac, and the content of your account should be loading into the application.
The next steps will show you how to sync your IMAP-folders.
Step 6: Synchronize IMAP folders
IMAP allows multiple clients to access the same mailbox, while keeping the e-mail messages available on the server for later access via webmail or other devices.
We recommend that you use these settings for handling IMAP folders from the start.
First you need to make sure that you have the latest version of Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed. You can find more information about how to update in the first step in this guide.
Next, click on Tools in the top menu and then click on Accounts....
Click on the Advanced-button located in the lower right corner of the dialogue box.
Click on the tab named Server.
Enter the word INBOX written with uppercase letters, in the field IMAP Root Folder.
Click on the tab named Folders.
To store the messages in the correct folder do the following:
- In the Sent section set Store sent messages in this folder: to Sent (Server) in the dropdown menu.
- In the Drafts section set Store draft messages in this folder: to Drafts (Server) in the dropdown menu.
- In the Junk section set Store junk messages in this folder: to Junk E-mail (Server) in the dropdown menu.
- In the Move section check the Move deleted messages to this folder: and select Trash (Server) in the dropdown menu.
