Moving an email account with messages reaching back 20 years was a real gripper for me, but I am now on Outlook 2021.
If you have any questions I can try to answer them.
My old database was imported and all those messages reside in a folder called "On My Computer", trapped in amber.
All of my now-active email accounts exist in their own folders in the sidebar.
Initially I could not get SEARCH to work.
"No Results" is all I would get.
Apple's instructions for
forcing Spotlight to re-index the main profile.
Search is beginning to work.
Thankfully I did not have to resort to these Terminal commands:
Code:
sudo mdutil -Ea
sudo mdutil -ai off
sudo mdutil -ai on
Next, there is an even NEWER version of Outlook available!
All you have to do is flip a switch in the top right corner of the app. Some big improvements.
The problem is, it will NOT bring over my archived messages from the "On My Computer" folder.
Hoping that a future update will address that omission.
I wish that I could change the appearance of the app so I could visually differentiate between mailboxes.
