The only way to fix this is to reboot outlook. I end up doing this 10 time a day. Is there any fix?

Outlook | MacOS | Legacy Outlook for Mac | For business

    This worked for me and was amazing.... 24 hours later.. back to sync pending and now it doesn't matter if logging is On or Off. I love how Microsoft just don't care, it's like the issues with the new Excel for Mac. Can't scroll properly and caret is all over the place when you edit a cell. Poor form

    Ok, this was driving me insane and I looked on every blog and forum going, changed logging, made sure the time was syncing correctly as I know this causes an error too etc etc all to no avail.

    There was one thing I hadn't tried though, on the Mac I had set up Mail with Exchange as well as Outlook. I had also set up contacts on Mac with Exchange so I could view the contacts for iMessage, as all of my contacts are on Exchange too and not iCloud.

    I deleted the Exchange Account from the Mac completely apart from retaining the Outlook Exchange account which does not get deleted automatically being separate from the Mac Accounts. 

    It worked for me and has been fine since.

    So if you have Exchange linked to other accounts on your Mac and not just Outlook, try removing them to see if it works.

    Regards
