Get rid of IMAP. :)
Just went through something similar this weekend. Moved 6 accounts from IMAP to Office 365 using the Outlook 2013 Click to Run install. 5 of the 6 accounts had issues. Before I started I exported everyone's outlook 2013 IMAP account to a .pst file. While exporting verified each OWA account worked. First account seemed to get stuck on the export. After 6 hours still didn't finish with a 3 gig file size. The others including one 8 gig in size did. Started over and same thing happened. Had to go in and export each folder I needed separately. Verified file sizes were similar in size. Rebooted and then uninstalled Office 365 Home plan. They were sharing this version among everyone in the office. Rebooted again. After installing Office 2013 from the Office 365 account went to verify that Outlook was working. All installs went fine except one wouldn't activate. After multiple tries, finally got it to activate. Imported the .pst files into Outlook. One went fine with no issues. Three of them appeared to import fine but some folders were missing the emails. Checked the old server and some were there, others not. One showed files supposedly there but nothing showing. Somehow this account got a filter applied which hid some of the email in some of the folders. A couple had calendar issues and one had contact issues. A couple of PCs had iTunes and iCloud software installed. Which didn't help much. Searched the web for answers but didn't find much info that helped. Since most of the important things were there they decided to just start from this point going forward. It seems every IMAP migration I do there are issues with calendars, contacts and missing stuff during the export/import. Doing migrations from POP or on premise Exchange usually goes according to plan.

I have a client that has several (5) imap accounts with outlook 2013 on win7. Here's the issue, when he opens a message in outlook and double clicks the the address, SOME, NOT ALL, will show only the email address , and not show the rest of the details (phone, first name/last name, etc..) , but in his icloud account all the data does show (First name, last name, telephone #, address, company etc..) Anyone have an pointers or suggestions? tia
