Also, with an IMAP email account, only headers are synchronized to represent crucial information, and the email\u2019s attachments are only downloaded when you open\/view a message, or you have set Outlook to download all messages.<\/p>\n<p>When you receive this error, it means Outlook is not set up to recognize that the server requires an Advanced IMAP configuration parameter to read from the folder structure properly.
