hi neven,

from description, understand subfolders in imap account missing in folder panel of outlook 2016 mac, can check them under>tools>imap folders cannot subscribe/unsubscribe them.

also found resolve issue creating new profile.  from that, can infer there no problem account. cause of issue, based on knowledge, caused anti-virus application,  the internet envirement or unnormal account status or others. cannot sure root cause issue has been resolved creating new profile now.

so if issue happens again, feel free let know following information troubleshooting, here help.

1.       please provide screenshot of account information when issue occurs. can check under tools> account. 

2.       are there sync errors when issue happens? if yes, please provide screenshot entire sync error. can check under tools> sync errors.

3.       can send or receive emails when issue happens.
