Outlook stuck on synchronizing folders

Just installed a new workstation and the user is not receiving emails. At the bottom there's a bar that says 'synchronizing inbox' - I've tried the IMAP settings to unsubscribe from the folders and also tried unchecking the microsoft cloud setting but still nothing. When I click details in send/receive it says 6 minutes remaining but it's been stuck there for 2 hours.

Help!

    It still says that it cannot connect to our server. Something about a security authentication.

    It is just a Microsoft software so expect you all to have issues. I stopped using Outlook for 5/6 and I wanted to give it a new try syncing that they had enough time to fix these stupid bugs. And what? nothing at all. What a disgraceful company.

    Since they purchase skype, the application became rubbish. Microsoft, stop ruining things
