Mac Mail - Outlook Exchange issues
Well, for whatever its worth it just went back to working again. Not sure if it was a Microsoft issue or an Apple issue but Exchange account/Mac Mail - Catalina is working just fine again.
pradig I don't use Little Snitch so I don't think that is the issue. When I was having the issue it was on two macs and my thought at the time was that MS had made a change (or Apple, but there hadn't been an update recently, just one day it worked the next it didn't). I'm not complaining that within two days of the problem starting it stopped, and stopped on both Macs at the same time and I can't say I've seen the problem occur since. Fingers crossed it stays working and whatever "switch" someone flicked, doesn't get switched again!
I'm experiencing it as well - making Big Sur Mail.App effectively useless - restarting it every time I want to pull email that I see on my iOS devices. I only get the sync with O365 once, right after restarting Mail.app.
I wonder if it is because I was on public beta, and Big Sur was installed as an upgrade, not a clean install. What a PITA if that's the only solution.
For what it is worth, my account size is 8.37 GB with 25,188 msgs. Don't think its connected to account size since I've not had this problem occur since my last issue back in November (to the best of my knowledge but of course it could have happened while I was away from the office during the holidays.)
commanderclif Yes, now.
I worry that it's that I have big an inbox in 365. It's 9GB with ~50K messages. But it hasn't been a problem before.

This is happening to you right now? I've been curious if it happens to everyone at once, or to individual users sporadically. I am not having an issue right now.
I have the same issues, btw. I have to restart Mac Mail to make it load new messages. If I click Get Mail, it says Checking for Mail in the Activity window and chugs for a moment, but doesn't find any email even though my phone did.
