Try opening Outlook in safe mode (maybe some add-in is blocking file:
Also check option 4 in this blog post:1. Right-click the Start button, and click Run.
2. Type Outlook.exe /safe, and click OK.
Tip: If Windows can't find Outlook.exe /safe, try using the full path to Outlook (for example C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX, where XX is your version number).

Thank you ALL for trying to help me. An Outlook expert in the Microsoft Community gave me instructions on how to delete the Junk Mail with a MFCMAPI app. It worked. Thanks again, everyone.
That MFCMAPI app is very useful. I just used it to rename my Microsoft account on Exchange from myname@outlook.com to a name of my choice since there is no way to do this in Outlook 2016.
I obtained MFCMAPI here https://github.com/stephenegriffin/m.../17.0.17099.01
Hi there
seems to work on Outlook 2019 as well but of course I haven't a clue with what to do with it !!!! Any documentation (what's that I hear people saying !!!!) around.
Still have the problem of OUTLOOK 2019 only showing SENT MAIL in the machine it's installed on, INBOX mails are fine on whatever machine -- the servers are IMAP.
So problem is SEND mail on machine A --
Send more mail on Machine B
Machine A -- all inbound mail visible and message sent on A but not B
Machine B all imbound mail visible and message sent on B but not A.
OUTLOOK 2010 works perfectly.
Cheers

When my email plays up I just delete the profile, all files and reconfigure from scratch. I only use IMAP accounts so don't lose any data.
The answer to my issue using MFCMAPI is here under the reply by TH https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...9-119545b6a558
Hi there
@Steve C
Bit scared to delete profiles -- with the latest versions of Office 2016/2019 the auto config won't configure email accounts for me (I have my own non ISP and non gmail type servers). If I delete all profiles then the control panel mail applet get round which I use to configure goes bonkers as it can't find a profile.
My gut feel is that Ms is pushing everbody to outlook/365 and to use its cloud servers. Until I fix this wretched problem I use a small Windows VM with outlook 2010 to send emails so I don't lose any. The actual email still exixts because on my servers I can use a web app as well (don't like web / browser email clients though) and the email exists on the server.
Cheers

A person with 5800+ posts shouldn't be scared of Windows. You can configure the email accounts with more options from Control Panel / Mail (32 bit) / Email Accounts. I just did this yesterday since I couldn't do what I wanted in Outlook 2016. I deleted the old profile, created a new one then added the accounts.
