    Emails not sync in win10 outlook in subfolders through Rules

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    I've followed that step, but no go 4 me.

    The emails in the Inbox and Sent Items are synced well, but emails in the subfolders* not.

    *subfolders: in the Inbox, I create a folder which is used to receive emails following certain rules.

    no Inbox and no subfolders Sync

    I don't know about the first issue you wrote about regarding only being able to sync the junk email and RSS feeds, but I finally figured out how to sync my Outlook Inbox subfolders (and sent items). You do NOT need 3rd part software.

    Step by step:

    1) Start

    2) Messaging

    3) Outlook Email

    4) Menu --> Folders

    6) Menu --> Show all folders (if it is not already this way)

    7) Menu --> Manage Folders

    8) When you scroll down over your subfolders, the "Sync" option will now appear in the bottom right corner of the screen where it used to say Menu

    9) Select "Sync" to whichever subfolders you like and those will subfolders will sync from now on

    From that point on, you can view the content of those folders by selecting that folder by clicking Menu, selecting Folders and then picking the subfolder you want to see.

    I was thrilled to discover this solution! I hope you come back to this site soon to get the fix.

    One drive - Cant stop syncing subfolders

    Syncing contact subfolder

    hi,

    if u are referring to syncing ur contacts from a subfolder for contacts created in outlook, try the following steps

    Launch PC suite > PC sync

    Click Settings and select the Microsoft Outlook tab

    Click "Select Folders"

    From there u should be able to see the various PIM options ie: calendar, contacts, etc

    Click the browse button next to Contacts and select the correct subfolder

    PC sync should then only sync from and/or to (depending of direction of sync) that particular folder
