Hi! I'm currently using 3rd party email via IMAP and accidentally deleted one of the main folders. On the website this folder is still accessible, but I can’t get it back on Outlook. I have reset Outlook before I reinstall it on pc, but It remember all accounts (even after uninstall) and preferred Outlook settings as well as folder tree structure and do not resynch that folder. How can I make a fresh Outlook version that don’t remember previous settings?

Hi, I'm Diane and I'm happy to help you today. You are using the new Outlook that is replacing windows mail? Reset the app: Open Windows Settings > Apps. Find Outlook (New) under installed apps and click the dots to the right of the name and choose Advanced options- then Reset. This may resync the folders. If you want to remove the old profile, close the new Outlook, open the Run command (Windows key + R) and type or paste this command line. Note, there is a space before the two dashes -- and yes, you use two dashes. olk.exe --clearLocalState I have screenshots at https://www.slipstick.com/new-outlook/reset-outlook-profile/ Let me know how it goes, I'm here to help you further if needed. -- Diane Disclaimer: slipstick.com is a site I run as a Microsoft MVP and the content is much more accurate and relevant than a general internet search.

remove the account from Outlook - when it asks if you want to remove it from all devices, say yes. The new Outlook stores the mail in the Microsoft cloud and if you use the account in Outlook mobile or Outlook for mac, they share the cloud storage. Removing or resetting the profile in any of the accounts doesn't remove the cloud storage. Saying yes, remove from all devices does. You will need to add it back on all devices.

If someone else's name appears, that implies your organization re-used an old User Principal Name when they created your account and you see the old account's information.
