It looks like the recent updates for Outlook completely broke my IMAP account in Outlook 2013.

For instance, the Inbox folder stays empty with the message “We didn't find anything to show here”. I also don’t receive any new emails.

In other folders, some e-mails can’t be moved or deleted or changes I make in Outlook do not sync to the server. Sometimes my move action is followed with the error:

"Cannot copy the items. You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties to check your permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or your administrator to change your permissions. "

It seems that IMAP in Outlook 2013 is only getting worse, when will it get better and how do I fix my current issues?
