RE: Rebuild Outlook for Mac for office 365 Database

Hi Ben,

You are right. With Outlook for Mac for Office 365, you will no longer need to manually perform database rebuilds.

For small database issues, such as missing or corrupt data, Outlook performs a silent recovery in the background by syncing the necessary data from the server or by reconstructing the corrupt file from data in the index.  When this occurs, the user is not notified and likely won’t be aware this is occurring in the background at all.

For larger database issues, Outlook will notify the user with steps on how to recover the database.  In this scenario Outlook will alert the user, force Outlook to restart, rebuild the database, and load the rebuilt database.


What do you mean by saying "its even worst that the earlier one"? Do you mean you encounter some issues when using this new version of Outlook for Mac? Please provide us with more detailed information. Although there is no option to rebuild the database, you can remove and re-configure an account in the Outlook for Mac, and then check to see if the issue still exists.
