Maybe the problem is not clear.
I've been using Outlook on my PC (and only Outlook on my PC) with SMTP for
years. I have 37 different folders set up with most of my mail being
redirected from Inbox to one of the other folders. In all those years, I have
never had an issue.
SMTP is used for sending mail, not retrieving mail. You're likely using IMAP
or POP3 to retrieve your e-mail. Sounds mostly like IMAP.
I got my very first smartphone last month. For a while, I was using the stock
app that came on the phone, but wasn't entirely satisfied with it. While
using that app, I never had an issue.
I'm nearly 100% sure the stock app (Gmail app aside.), even if syncing
sub-folders, doesn't support push. Without that, you're not dealing with the
same situation.
If I'm wrong about push, I'm wrong. But since it was the reason I went
searching for something better, I'm pretty sure I'm not.
I tried another 3rd party app for email, but didn't like it. In the short
time I used that app, I never had an issue.
Did it support push for sub-folders? If not, once again, you're dealing with a
different situation.
I installed K-9, and suddenly, Outlook continually fails to connect due to too
many connections. K-9 does not report any errors, but Outlook can no longer
do its job, when it could with no issue before.
K-9 would have added additional PUSH and SYNC connections. And if it's managed
to create the connections and you've reached the limit, then Outlook will show
errors. If Outlook had opened the connections first, you might find those same
errors occurring on the K-9 side instead. I've had them in both Thunderbird
and K-9.
It's a per-user setting generally speaking. Which means if the limit is 40
connections, and you've got Outlook and K-9 each connecting 38 times (37
folders plus Inbox), you're going to exceed that limit.
Seems clear to me there's a K-9 problem and not an Outlook problem.
Doesn't seem that clear to me. Could be a server limitation issue. But you may
want to try another Android e-mail client that supports push and see if you
get similar results. Also trying turning off PUSH for some of the folders and
see what happens.
