Resolution:
Solution1:

1.     Many cases, client will use different address [SMTP and SIP] address. E.g. Means email address : balu.ilag@mydomain.com and SIP address: baluilag@mydomain.com

Both addresses should be to get sync with each other.

2.     You change the Lync (SIP) address via Lync control Panel or Lync Server Management Shell.

a.     Command:  

Set-CsUser –Identity “User Name” –SipURI balu.ilag@mydomain.com

b.     Open Lync Control Panel > Click on Users > Find User> Double click on it and change the SIP address.

3.     If you don’t want to compare email address and SIP then you disable the Email Comparison via CmdLet.

Set-CsClientPolicy -DisableEmailComparisonCheck $True

 

4.     Rare cases MAPI version are not up-to-date.

a.     You copy MAPI32.DLL file from, working computer to affected computer.

b.     Mapi file path:C:\Windows\System32\

 

c.      You can match the Mapi file using command:

Close the Outlook and Lync from Task manage. Run the following command on command prompt:

C:\Fixmapi.exe

After running these commands wait for 2-3 minutes and restart affected computer.

5.     Outlook must use the Defaults Outlook profile.

6.     eMail delivery must be on Server mailbox.
