The outlook is not showing the e-mails of my sub-folders. Only from Inbox.

I bought Office Pro today and had to downgrade to version 2010 ... Shame ...

I have a large (7000+ emails) MAPI account at Tuffmail. OL2013 keeps losing my local copies of emails. Apparently (Google) this is a long-standing bug that MS seems unable to fix. TBird is what I need I think ...

I googled XLIST and the second result is from a Google document stating XLIST is proprietary and is being deprecated in favor of LIST, the standard. Seems pretty off-the-wall.

IMAP support in Outlook 2013 is a huge mess, a lot of people are reporting problems (e.g disappearing mails):

social.technet.microsoft.com/.../b7d52f12-ea1c-489c-865d-0fffac470dfa

MS should take an example from the IMAP capabilities of Mozilla Thunderbird, it handles IMAP accounts extremely fast and stable.

Another unhappy camper here... Apparently if you have lots of IMAP folders, including a subfolder buried three levels deep but with the word "Sent" in the name - well, that just might become your new default sent items folder.

Also, apparently it would be bad to let us change this, mmmkay? Because letting mere users select their own special IMAP folders - well, that's just crazy talk. I used up my entire allotment of "time I am willing to waste on this product" just figuring out that I can't change this option, and that this is by design.

+1 for the Thunderbird Exodus... Whee!!!

Moving Mails in Outlook 2013 to other folders via IMAP kills the Header of the Mails.

We are using special X-Headers for our Mails (inserted by our Mail-Server), which are processed later by our self-coded Outlook-AddIn when the Mails are viewed.

Works great with Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 as both are not killing the Mails' Header.

You said: "...that Outlook's IMAP support is not at the level of quality that you expect from a product like Outlook"

Seems that the quality got lost if it comes to Mail Headers. PLEASE FIX IT! Thank you!

OK... It's hardest but I made thing, that sent message copied to Sent folder. But how can I do this with Deleted messages...

So I have to use Thinderbird 17 instead...

Please restore as custom folder for sended and trashed email, not all server as XLIST

Downgraded all client to Outlook 2010

"All your questions and comments are not only appreciated, but used to make decisions about how we can improve Outlook in the future. Please keep it coming!"

But there is NO Microsoft response below that I can see. Hard to tell that they care at all...

This statement would really deserve some clarification "Outlook now recognizes special folders in your mailbox like Trash (in techspeak, the IMAP extension XLIST is now supported)". This for me is the biggest annoyance. I haven't been able to configure a single IMAP account with properly assigned special folders. Most of the times even if the folders are already there with the right names, I end up with multiple copies of those folders all marked "(This computer only)". Either support for XLIST on the server side is still not really there or the Outlook 2013 XSLT support is badly messed up. I need the possibility of manually assigning the special folders as in Outlook 2010.
