This means that the authentication setup for your sync is no longer valid. This can happen for the a number reasons particularly if your sync authenticates using Delegated Permissions.

I used the following combination of techniques to get the user working. In the Folder Pane, you might see a folder named Recovered Personal Folders that contains your default Outlook folders or a Lost and Found folder. Although the repair process might recreate some of the folders, they may be empty. The Lost and Found folder contains any folders and items recovered by the repair tool that Outlook can't place in their original structure. You can use the Inbox Repair tool (SCANPST.EXE) to diagnose and repair errors in your Outlook data file. The Inbox Repair tool checks the Outlook data files on your computer to see if they're in good shap

If the OST still gets corrupted when you have reduced the size there is something in the mailbox causing the problem. You must re-select "Account Settings" when it opens across a drop-down menu. There, lead into the "Data Files" tab and select your OST file. After selecting the file, click on "Open File Location" to redirect to the folder.

Now, let us start with the manual processes to fix Outlook syncing errors. The sync will fail if the total number of all users (active or inactive) on your account exceeds the user limit placed upon it if present. The Summary sheet on the spreadsheet attachment of your sync summary includes an Updated User Count and User Limit. These figures will give you an impression of how far over the limit the account is. Sync failure alerts do not always include a full summary or attachment, you can run a test sync to obtain this dat
