Windows 10: Outlook 2019 - Spamadoooo !!!! query on Imap

Hi there
seem to have a really strange thing with Outlook 2019

On a machine running Windows as a VM I have my email domain saying that i have zero emails in the spam folder . That's fine and should normally be fine.

Now if I logoff and re-boot into Windows as the HOST machine (same version of Windows and Office 2019 that I was running on the VM) it shows 14 emails in the spam folder !!! (For this purpose I don't care whether these are really spam or not). So why can I see these emails on one system but they are nowhere to be seen on another !!!

Server is IMAP.

Bonkers --- !! shouldn't be able to LOSE emails just using OUTLOOK with identical server settings and release.

(Logging physically on to the email server on the domain those emails are DEFINITELY in the SPAM folder).#

??? --- any ideas .

Cheers
jimbo

Gmail IMAP on Outlook 2019

If some of you folks would take the time to actually read the user posts you might resist making comments about "just google it" or "read the instructions". I have looked for a solution to this problem for several months and can provide a few details:

• The issue is becoming widely discussed by many users with the same problem - it's not confined to just a few people. The MS web sites contain many posts.
• The problem seemed to begin in May 2019
• It appears to be confined to Gmail on Outlook 2019
• It isn't clear if it's a Microsoft issue, or a Google issue, or both.
• It is not a problem when using a client such as Thunderbird, which I have installed and use - the Gmail account was an easy (trivial) set-up. For me, Gmail continues to work on Thunderbird without issue.
• There are many suggested fixes - enabling IMAP is a given, changing port numbers, server names (e.g, imap.gmail.com to imap.googlemail.com), the use or non-use of 2FA, app passwords, allow less-secure apps to run, etc. I have tried all of these singly or in various combinations.

For me, the problem started a few months back when Outlook puked up the Gmail settings and would not proceed with re-installing the account. I continuously received messages that it could not find the IMAP server - the fault code is noted in a couple of messages above.
Initially I thought I had re-mediated the problem by doing an on-line repair of MS Office (Pro Plus, 2019). This meant re-activating Office, Project & Visio, which I do not want to do continuously. I was able to set-up my Gmail account easily, and thought the problem was resolved. This lasted about a week.
Now, after a system restart, I can generally set-up Gmail again easily, without repairing Office - just as some of you suggest that this is all that is necessary. It may last for a day or two, but frequently only a few hours.
I'm not willing to give up on 2FA.
I am cutting away from Gmail so I'm not going to obsess over a solution any longer. For the limited number of Gmail I still receive I can manage with Thunderbird or by browser.
If this isn't an issue for you, that's great. Happy days. But don't discount the issue as being one of user failure to follow instructions.

Peace

For Sygnus21: It's enabled on my account, disabling it seemed to be the root cause of Janice Reid's issue. I could try turning it on and off and might give that a spin in the next day or so. I really should be working :/

Gmail IMAP on Outlook 2019

Adding gmail with imap to Outlook 2019 is as simple as entering your email address and password at the add accounts page, no need to turn off 2fa as you get a google authentication page as part of the setup.

At what point is it failing?
