Microsoft Outlook for Mac Version 16.80 will not sync email automatically

It appears this update occurred today. Since the update, Outlook will not automatically bring in email (push setting) and must be manually synced each time. I have found no settings to help fix this. This stopped working concurrently with the update. Please fix this.

I emptied my Outlook cache and that appears to have fixed it. Right click inbox > properties > empty cache

    I had the same issue with the 16.77.1 legacy version (the new one is for kids, not for work). Clearing the cache and activating the sync shared mailbox seems valid. I'll monitor it for a few days before stating it worked for me.

    Thanks to those who proposed the solutions (kudos, Mathias Choules and Steve Plante).

    UPDATE JAN the 3RD. No way, sync is not working again.

    That would be great news! Did they release an update for Outlook? Currently running 16.80 (23121017).

    We haven't did any software update yet. The sync was back to normal since last Sunday.
