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!

    Wow! This really helped. These two links also contributed to getting my email straightened out after a new system build.

    All of the syncing of my multiple folders took a couple of days, but at least now things are working. Cleaning out unneeded emails from the folders also helped speed things up a bit.

    I started having this issue yesterday (9/8/2024). I tried everything that I could think of. I have one personal domain, and 4 gmail accounts. I did this process on the first gmail account, and problem solved! thanks.

    update: new a few hours later and the problem is back again. I made sure to make the changes on every gmail account, but that did not fix the issue. :(
