My Outlook synchronization function takes a very long time (>5 minutes). This delays features to the point of rendering Outlook not useful:
Can someone explain to me why this is as a google search does not much help.

Search functionality should not hang if you are running in Cached Exchange Mode.
In Outlook 2013:
As long as you have Windows Search service installed and running, your e-mail searches will be local and very fast. It will never be Google fast, but still faster than what you've been experiencing.
To Check if you have Windows Search, you can either run services.msc to see if Windows Search is running... Or check the indexing status in Outlook by Clicking on the Inbox Search. Then going to Search Tools > Indexing Status
If you a message that says xxxx remain to index, that is a good sign. If you just see a spinning circle without a message, then you do not have Windows Search installed, or there is a problem with your Office 2013 installation.

The problem could be at their end. I would wait 12 or 24 hours and then try again unless the problem has already been going on for a day or two. – fixer1234 – 2014-09-28T18:01:39.827

It might be diagnostic to see what happens if you use POP3 if that's an option. – fixer1234 – 2014-09-28T18:37:07.300
You are unable to send e-mail or it just takes a long time? – Sun – 2014-10-06T17:42:43.827
