All of a sudden my folders in Outlook 2011 stopped updating and what I mean by that is I renamed a bunch of them, added a few, and put numbers in names of others so that they would appear higher up in my folder tree. On my Windows machine they updated fine in Outlook. On my iPhone and iPad they updated fine as well, but on my MacBook Air in Outlook 2011 they have not updated.

I have installed the latest update to my Office 2011 for Mac software, restarted Outlook and restarted my computer. Still, they don't want to update. I suppose my last resort is to rebuild my database, but that takes forever. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm working off Exchange 2013. My mailbox database is over 40GB and I have many folders and subfolders, but they are NOT sub-folders of my Inbox. In the past they all just updated fine, but suddenly they didn't.
