Outlook search depends on Spotlight which indexes Outlook items.Įveryone running High Sierra is affected by this serious Outlook bug. In the end it turned out that they were testing with an outdated macOS version even though it was clear right from beginning that the cause of the issue is an incompatibility between Outlook and macOS. It took me more than a month to persuade them with almost daily conversations. Microsoft support now confirmed that it is an Outlook bug. If you have a large task list and only 1 or 2 disappear, you probably notice it too late. This is definitely a serious Outlook bug. However, on the next day two new items disappeared.

After I rebuilt the index all items reappeared. However, this time rebuilding the index only was a temporary solution. Paolo, thanks! In the past, whenever I had an indexing problem with Outlook, I just removed the mailbox and added it again. If can help, when I had issues on Outlook for Windows, I have run the Inbox Repair tool for Microsoft Outlook and it worked fine and solved my problem. Btw, interesting to know the OutlookSearchRepair toolfor Mac. The OutlookSearchRepair tool with a few other useful troubleshooting tools can be found here.

A few days ago I had an issue with free Outlook app for iPhone and support was just as fast. I am unsure if this really solves the problem because I believe that something corrupts the index regularly. I used the support tool integrated in Outlook and someone from Microsoft responded almost immediately amazing! Support recommended to reindex with the OutlookSearchRepair tool and the missing items reappeared. (Please note, I believe this issue was possible because I am using an Exchange email on which my contacts are stored thus syncing the "corruption" between by two clients.I just had an issue with Outlook Mac version connected to Office where emails and tasks were disappearing randomly. (Please note, I believe this issue was possible because I am using an Exchange email on which my contacts are stored thus syncing the "corruption" between by two clients.) Does feel slightly annoying going through all this for a very simple fix! As far as I can tell there's no way to change this unless they are a contact, as even adding them as a contact doesn't help.Īnyway, by typing the start of an email in so it appears in the auto suggest then clicking the "X" to delete it before adding it again seems to have solved the issue. All of the problem emails seem to somehow have gotten the preferred format messed up. I discovered that all the problematic email addresses added to my Outlook 2016 client were added and being used through the auto suggest feature (and not listed under a contact).
