If you are out on Google trying to figure out why your Comcast IMAP folders in Outlook are not matching up (Outlook vs the browser or Outlook vs Outlook on 2 computers), I have an explanation and this might also help others not on Comcast with IMAP folder synching issues.

IMAP is an email system that holds a copy of your inbox and all folders on their server and it should download and synchronize between phones and other computers. It’s like a poor man’s exchange server without the calendar and contacts.
- If your IMAP is not matching up and you are on Comcast, you can try this trick. Try cleaning up the folders on the server (browsers) and then creating a new email account in your Outlook. This should bring down a fresh IMAP copy.
- If your IMAP is not matching up and you are on a paid server like GoDaddy, try the above trick and if that fails, then call GoDaddy or whoever is your provider and ask them to do a mailbox rebuild. It basically fixes corrupted IMAP. If your hosting company says they will not do that, then ask for a supervisor because this can be done.
