There is problem in your email account, first verify which account is configured in the outlook. Check whether it is a POP or IMAP email service or any other and send me the details. There would be a message such as "Microsoft Office Outlook is synchronizing folders" in case of an exchange account of hot-mail.Give me the proper detail co that i can help you.

I am using a POP email account and, i got these information from the outlook. I opened the outlook account and then selected the Tools. In that account settings and checked the account type it was the POP account. So, please provide me with the solution i will be grateful to you, i want to use the service but do not want to synchronize the folders.

your problem of the Exchange email can be solved in the Microsoft Outlook, just go to the Navigation pane, right click the folder that you want to filter, and then select the Properties. After that select the Synchronization tab, and under that Filtered synchronization select the Filter Option. Finally you have to Clear all and then your problem will be solved.

If you are using Exchange Cached Mode then you can turn it off, but if you do then you will not be able to work offline. Check the below link for same.
