Syncing Problems with Shared Mailbox

  • The version of your Outlook client
  • That there’s nothing “extra” installed/plugged in to your Outlook (ie. CRM)
  • Whether or not your phone is connected through your computer

And two things to try, in this order:

  1. Uncheck the option to “download shared folders” 
  2. And after we’ve tested to see if that solved the problem (ie. If it did not), then we’ll create a new profile for you and test that

  1. Messages sent from Alysha’s email goes to Alysha’s ‘sent’ items
  2. Messages sent from Exam’s email goes to Exam’s ‘sent’ items
  3. Caching is on

Change the settings to look like this:
