This has come up on MailOps...  I noticed since the May 10th updates for Windows, MAPI is now broken on Outlook 2016.  For Exchange it seems like you can downgrade Outlook:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.13901.20462


I tried on SmarterTools and doesn't seem to work.  From the SmarterMail logs everything seems okay.

Outlook says it can't log in: Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. The attempt to log on to the Microsoft Exchange has failed.  

*Edit: not sure, but it seems to be working this morning.  Definitely a strange issue, so may be related.

Hello Eric! We recently received word that a recent update to Outlook was causing sync issues which may be related to what you're seeing here. Microsoft advocated for a downgrade as well, so it sounds like this might be what was happening. Details on that Microsoft post can be found here:


If you see this again please submit a ticket with us as we'd be happy to dig into it for you. Have a good one!
