How to fix the “There are more items in this folder on the server” issue in a folder in Outlook 2016 and get access to your emails.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What:<\/strong> Certain folders would give me the following message: “There are more items in this folder on the server<\/em>“. There was no link or button (that I could find)\u00a0to click in the\u00a0right-click dropdown menu\u00a0to request to see them or to\u00a0“sync” the folder to pull these emails down from the server.<\/p>\n

Fortunately,\u00a0I had two colleagues\u00a0chimed in within\u00a0minutes to my distress call in our “Things that make you go hmm…” Yammer group, with the following answers:<\/p>\n

“The source of truth is always in webmail. Go there. If it ain’t there, it don’t exist.”<\/em> – Sean<\/p>\n

“I’ve had that a couple times where it’s gets wonky. As Sean [suggested], check webmail and if it’s not showing there right click on the folder in Outlook and do a Mark all as Read.”<\/em> – Alec<\/p>\n

I was slightly skeptical (which is ridiculous –\u00a0I should know better by now), but gave it a try and low and behind, there they were! Check it out:<\/p>\n

Why did I care about emails from two years ago?<\/strong> Because I wanted to use the\u00a0“new” Archive button to clean\u00a0up my Outlook, which is super cluttered with a rabbit hole of folders and sub-folders. Sorting emails into said folders is time consuming, and let’s be honest, I’d rather use that time for anything else. Now, I am not an advocate of deleting data – why\u00a0bother when you have 50 GB of storage to use? Especially because\u00a0using the Archive option can\u00a0save\u00a0future you from a potential\u00a0“oh shit” moment.<\/p>\n
