    Good grief and LMAO!!!! Way to go Microsoft!! What UX "geniuses" thought up this trash?? @Frank Coles is spot on.

    I was an SDET there for 10 years FTE. I hope some tester in the Outlook Team opened a bug so a bunch "brilliant" designers could feel good about themselves explaining the "brilliance" of this design feature. I swear at Microsoft the more people you get involved in a design decision like this the more you see the collective IQ of the group drop. Saw it for 10 years in person.

    Oh Microsoft, thanks once again for a complete waste of time in a help forum.

    Microsoft won't see your complaint here; most contributors in the forums are volunteers (and we are certainly not in a decision making capacity with Microsoft). You can use the feedback portal at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/89a8afa3-2e1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472.

    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 In the "New Outlook" desktop version, the "Send/Receive All Folders" button has been replaced by a new feature called "Sync This Folder."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. (I can't. It's gone!

    * 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.

    Forgive me if I'm missing something, but didn't you just explain how the send/receive button was replaced by a new feature called "Sync This Folder."? So, how do we get to "Sync This Folder" if the "send/receive" button is gone, like you said it was? So, please tell me how to go about refreshing my email by syncing, without hitting the "send/receive" button?

    That's the dumbest thing I've heard about this. It's NOT superfluous, it's sorely needed. I received a verification email from microsoft (ironically), and saw it on the webmail for my email provider, but nothing on the new outlook. I waited for a couple of minutes before I closed outlook down, then restarted it. Then the email finally showed up. Yes, I was online at the time as I always am. For the life of me, I can't figure out why Microsoft can't get email right. The last "simple" email client that actually worked was Windows Live Mail, which of course was killed off for the far more complicated (and costly at the time) Outlook. Do they have just one engineer working on mail? Windows mail has been a dumpster fire since 2015, and the cat and mouse they play with yahoo (the 2nd largest email provider on the planet), is pathetic. Especially since 3rd party clients like Thunderbird can seem to do it.
