How to Setup Auto Mail Sync Time in Outlook 2016
When we setup our email accounts in outlook 2016, It automatically setup the mail sync features so that as soon as mail arrives, it shows the notification. But when we configured 3rd party mail account using pop and IMAP configurations it sometimes gets delayed.
In that case what we do is to manually sync the mail accounts so that send and receive process can be forced. We can also setup automatic mail sync feature to do force sync.
