synchronizing IMAP Folders

K

katy

I am hoping someone can help me because i've literally tried
everything i can think of and know it's going to be a simple fix and i
am going to be angry with myself!

I recently upgraded to Office 2008 and haven't had too many troubles.
I use Entourage for my .mac and my hotmail. I work off of 2 different
computers and they sync fine. If i start a draft on one computer, i
can find it on the other. What it will not seem to do though, is
update a recently added folder to my mac mail account and it is
driving me crazy.

In Office 2004, if i added a new folder, i would then hit the up and
down arrow icon to update the List and the change/additional folder
would be reflected on both of my Macbooks, each running the same OS
(10.5.6)

When I added a new folder to my primary computer this evening, it is
reflected on my mac's MAIL account but not on the secondary computer
no matter what i try - restarting, updating, right clicking. It is so
frustrating.

I miss the icon from 2004 that did it for me. ANY HELP would be very
much appreciated!

Right-/Ctrl-click the account folder in the folder list and choose "Receive
Complete Folder List" from the contextual menu. Does that solve your
problem?
