Where is the send and receive button in outlook
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

It should sync within a few seconds of opening the folder. If it doesn't sync, remove the account from other and add it back. If its a Gmail or yahoo account and you are asked to remove it from everywhere, say yes.
And what do you do if you are online and the folder does NOT automatically sync? That is what the send/receive button was for... to prompt the action. Taking away this functionality and trusting to an automatic system is idiocy. But what do I know, I've only been a software developer for 30 years!
Go to View, then View Settings, then in Mail - Layout, select the radio button that says Don't sort my messages, and the "focus" inbox disappears.
If you see that the Inbox is not updating automatically, please submit an In App ticket (Help, Support). The In App Support Team raised this as a top priority with the Product Team and a lot of work has been done to address the issue.
Some of the latest changes include:
Fixed issues that were delaying reconnect, for example after coming out of Sleep Mode on the computer
Updated sync prioritization to sync inbox first
Reload to get fresh data from the service more quickly
If there are still issues, then submitting a ticket helps get it investigated so any new fixes can be implemented. For example, if you are seeing dramatic difference receiving on your mobile device compared to New Outlook.
My response from microsoft is the new beta outlook 360 is online only. No need for send receive as everything is real time. Also means ALL offline features are not available until the new offline version comes out. I really like the new version and the slider at the top easily and quickly switches between versions. JUST REMEMBER TO SWITCH TO OLD AND DOWNLOAD if you are getting on a plane or need to use offline.
That is correct - offline use is planned but its a beta and a lot of features are missing right now.
