outlook connector imap sync issue

[Almfg]

I’m having some complications between the zimbra server and the zimbra outlook connector.
Currently they are both working together almost perfectly, but in order to sync I have to force a sync by using send/receive. We are using IMAP connections here and it should be automatically pulling and pushing information, which is the way my outlook worked prior to installing the zimbra connector.
Now that I have the connector installed and configured, if I send a test email to myself from another account I basically will not receive it until I force it to sync.
What solutions/resolutions are there to have it automatically push and pull the information to and from the zimbra server?
If more information is required for troubleshooting please let me know and I will obtain that information for you.

Thanks in advance.
