Microsoft and Apple have wasted our time and we should hear from them. My suspicion is that sometime in Nov/Dec 2021, a flag was inserted in the Outlook database to block search results from appearing. The odd thing is that on Intel 1, search works fine.

When mdsworker (the spotlight process) completes, the search function fails. After awhile, other messages appear in results but the search term remains highlighted in the relevant mails. I have tried re-indexing spotlight multiple times on the M1 MPB (the machine that is meant to Intel 2 and has files migrated from there)Īs stated, the indexing starts ok (if you type in a search before starting the Spotlight re-indexing, the search will display a growing number of items. IMO, Microsoft is trying (probably for corporate mail policy reasons) to stop users from archiving their own work mails on their machines. Like many of you here, I do not want to use the 'New Outlook' because it wipes out any mail folders listed as 'On My Computer'.

Lets call the Intel Macs Intel1 and Intel2. Outlook version is 16.56 on all machines. I have the same issue but let me go in a bit more detail. Despite me reporting the issue over 5 times, and hundreds of threads available on Mac Rumors, Mac Developer Forum, Mac.
