Using Google Apps Gmail accounts with Outlook 2011 on MAC OS10.8 – at bottom of inbox it shows “downloading” counter but nothing downloads. It’s “stuck”

Yesterday, I've noticed that Gmail accounts going through Goggles IMAP (google apps) servers ....the email coming into my inbox isn't downloading... at the bottom right corner of inbox it shows "downloading... 1/19" for example.... but nothing downloads. It seems to be stuck.

See the screenshot below... look at the bottom right corner. You can see "downloading" and the download bar... but it won't download... it stays like that for hours.

When I access those email accounts using web Gmail, the emails are there. They are just not downloading into my OUTLOOK.

Other GMail accounts that are normal (non-corporate) gmail accounts such as *** Email address is removed for privacy *** download perfectly.

I've archived messages to reduce the size of my inbox, I've rebooted router, restarted IMAC... nothing seems to help.

This just started yesterday. Before that, everything was OK. This problem is only on my office IMAC. At home, running same configuration, my IMAC outlook 2011 is just fine!!

I have NO filters set up to screen emails...what's going on?
