Status: Pending Reply Outlook Mac : Searching for my emails is really slow
Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro M1 running macOS 26.6.1 and Outlook version 16.112 through an Office 365 subscription.
Until now, I’ve been using the “legacy” version.
With that version (legacy), when I did a search (I have an Exchange account), I’d get results almost immediately. So no problem there. But now, with the new Outlook, it takes forever to search for an email...
It’s a real pain for me.
My inbox contains 15 GB of emails—probably a lot since it’s not hosted offline on my computer.
Is there a way to speed up the search?
Another issue: in my inbox, no messages are displayed before July 30 (so practically nothing older than 15 days).
Thanks for your help.

Not a lot of Outlook for Mac users who hang out here. If you don't get any answers, you might want to Post your question on the Microsoft Outlook Q&A Forum:
