    I know how it works. Did you read my explanation as to why I want the send/receive? Your suggestion of unplugging from the internet to delay sending would be hugely cumbersome. What if i need internet for other things?

    Wow, really? Did I say I wanted to access my mail while offline? That may have been true in the dial-up days, but that shipped sailed over 20 years ago. We want the mail to be available in outlook as soon as it's on the server. I shouldn't see mail on my phone, then have to wait for however long until Outlook decides to retrieve it. We want a send/receive or a sync now button. Windows mail has it, why doesn't outlook? This has absolutely nothing to do with being online or offline. Typical for Microsoft... one step forward and two steps back.

    Here is a perfect example. I just noticed an email on my phone, that was received FIFTY FIVE minutes ago (at the time), that still was not on my outlook list. I tried clicking other folders, settings, anything to try and get it to refresh to no avail. Finally I shut Outlook down and restarted it, and VOILA there was the almost one hour old email, and outlook was online the entire time. We need a send/receive option.

    I am sorry, but where exactly in the article suggested you treat this topic? I found nothing there relating to what we are discussing here...

    Thanks for the help.

    Dear Chris,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you. In the "New Outlook" desktop version, the "Send/Receive All Folders" button has been replaced by a new feature called "Sync This Folder." To synchronize all folders, including your inbox, sent items, and other folders, you can follow these steps:

    * Click on the "Send/Receive" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.

    * Click on the "Sync This Folder" dropdown menu.

    * Select "All Accounts" to synchronize all folders for all of your email accounts, or select a specific email account to synchronize folders for only that account.

    I am providing an official article regarding this below:

    [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/getting-started-with-the-new-outlook-for-windows-656bb8d9-5a60-49b2-a98b-ba7822bc7627]()

    If there is any update or I misunderstand you, please feel free to let me know. I will continue to assist you. Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated. Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day.

    Those instructions are gibberish. First you say that the new Outlook does not have a send/receive button and then to remedy that you say to select the send/receive button. Pretzel logic. You are not reading the posts very well. They are saying that there is NO send/receive button and where in the blazes did it go? EDIT: This is all online as well.

    This is so typical of these forums and the "MVPs." They reply whether they know the answer or not. I believe that they are constantly rated, and they are rated on quantity not quality. It's amazing to me that we are on the FIFTH page of this thread, and the answers are still useless. If you don't know the answer, DON'T RESPOND. If that happened we'd still be on page one. From the non-existent sync button above, to the responses that "offline" support is coming, when this issue has absolutely nothing to do with being online or offline. It's a simple matter of having a sync or send/receive button that currently exists in the old outlook as well as the current windows mail that's being phased out. It boggles my mind that microsoft has so much difficulty getting email right. Windows Live Mail was the last client that was rock solid and not filled with dozens of useless tweaks and settings like Outlook.
