Outlook Mobile for Android Sync Settings?

I just installed Outlook Mobile for work as my company moved to Office 365.

Here's my question, whenever I have previously used Outlook there was a setting option to sync email at specific intervals such as every 5 minutes, every hour, manual sync, etc. I can't find this setting any longer.

Where did it go? Thanks!

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

I would like to inform you that the sync interval  cannot be set for the Outlook application on android phone. Outlook sync automatically whenever it is connected to internet, it can be also sync by swiping the screen downwards.

I hope the above information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you.

    I finally quit using Outlook and instead moved to an email app called "Nine" on Android that works even better.

    You are absolutely right. This app should have a timer that we could setup according to our needs. As you say, all other email apps have this option, including the PC version of Outlook. Lets hope that soon an update of the app will include this option.

    As of June 2017, there's still no option to control syncing.  So, Goodbye Outlook for Android.  I have no need for an app that takes away sync control.

    ? What? This is a deal breaker. We don't all have unlimited data, and some of us travel.  Seems kinda like a boneheaded oversight.
