When TB has finished checking for "new" messages why does it continue to say "brining folder up to date"?

I have a lot of emails on my "Hotmail.com" account and have been using TB for a few years, since MS has gone to "Outlook" I have had a lot of grief across a few platforms, i.e. Windows, Android I am using TB ver 52.0.1 for the past weeks as I updated from ver 45.8.0 to see if it would solve the problem. TB keeps trying to download the same folders every time I log on and the Hotmail server is giving time out errors.

Why is TB not recognizing that the folders are up to date?

You might avoid timeout errors by changing the Hotmail server settings:
