You may modify the following UNICODE Registry values to increase the limits:
The MaxLargeFileSize registry entry. The MaxFileSize registry entry determines the absolute
maximum
size that both the .pst and the .ost files can grow to. After this maximum size is reached,
Outlook does not permit the size of the file to grow beyond this size.
The WarnLargeFileSize registry entry. The WarnFileSize registry entry determines the maximum
data that both the .pst and the .ost files can have. After this maximum data is reached,
neither the .pst nor the .ost files are permitted to add any more data. However, the size of
the physical file may still increase because of internal processes.
In our example: 30720 for Outlook 2003 and 2007 and 102400 for Outlook 2010, 2013 and 2016
In our example (decimal):
30720 X 95% = 29184 for Outlook 2003 and 2007
100 GB = 102400 X 95% = 97280 for Outlook 2010, 2013 and 2016.
200 GB = 204800 X 95% = 194560 for Outlook 2010, 2013 and 2016.

From: https://jhost.co/my/index.php?fuse=knowledgebase&view=KB_viewArticle&articleId=98
The IMAP connections are live connections and will receive the mail regardless of your scheduled
send/receive settings. If you create a separate send/receive group in Outlook (Tools -> Send/Receive ->
Send/Receive settings -> Define Send/Receive groups...) for the IMAP mailbox you can avoid the pop-up by
de-selecting the option to “Schedule an automatic send/receive every X minutes.” This sends a NOOP request
that works great for Exchange but is not a standard amongst all IMAP implementations (i.e. Zimbra postfix).

1. Installed the thunderbird mail client and configure the user mailbox on it.
2. It has given me the error: "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Duplicate folders "Junk E-Mail" were detected in the mailbox. Therefore the user's connection was disconnected."
Also could look for corrupted email by using Thunderbird

A very low % of users (only corporate volume licenses) have access to the MSI version of Office 2013, which
would leave some 95% of iPad/iPhone users without the ability to use iCloud. I know iCloud works with

A spate of recent updates caused problems in Outlook and the short-term fix is to uninstall the update;
however, updates can’t be uninstalled from the Click-To-Run installations of Office, and almost all
users have the Click-To-Run installation.
Instead, you will need to revert to an earlier version.

3. Go back into Outlook. Click on File | Offline to go back online.

====== Cashed Exchange Mode ======
From: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj683103(v=office.15).aspx
If you work with a very large mailbox, you can reduce the size of the local data file by using Cached Exchange Mode with the Exchange Fast Access Sync Slider enabled. Sync Slider allows an Outlook 2013 user to limit the email messages that are synchronized locally in an Outlook data file (.ost). By default, if Cached Exchange Mode is enabled, Outlook 2013 will only cache email messages from the last 12 months and it will remove anything older than 12 months from the local cache. The email messages that are removed from the local cache will still be available for users to view. Users can scroll to the end of an email list in a folder and then choose the message Click here to view more on Microsoft Exchange to view the email messages that were removed. For more information, see Synchronization, disk space, and performance considerations for Cached Exchange Mode.

Do you have a large .pst file or .ost file?
If you have a large .pst or .ost file, you may experience application pauses while you perform typical operations in Outlook. These typical operations include reading email messages, moving email messages, and deleting email messages.
When you use Outlook 2010, the following .ost size guidelines generally apply:
Up to 5 gigabytes (GB): This file size should provide a good user experience on most hardware.
Between 5 and 10 GB: This file size is typically hardware dependent. Therefore, if you have a fast hard disk and lots of RAM, your experience will be better. However, slower hard disk drives, such as drives that are typically found on portable computers or early-generation solid-state drives (SSDs), experience some application pauses when the drives respond.
More than 10 GB: When the .ost file reaches this size, short pauses begin to occur on most hardware.
