Issue has been resolved with latest Outlook update

Not sure if you saw the posts above but issue has been resolved in new beta v16.58.

Im so happy right now. THANK YOU!!!!

That's odd because I did a reinstall of OS as well and it's as if it made no difference at all.

I called Apple's Sr. Technical Support department today, it's almost as if they're not even aware the issue exists. Despite me reporting the issue over 5 times, and hundreds of threads available on Mac Rumors, Mac Developer Forum, Mac Community Forum, etc. Apple is just really dropping the ball here. First time in 20 years I've seriously considered switching back to Windows. Monterey broke everything

Doesn’t work for IMAP users

Do you have a link that explains how to do this with gmail by any chance? I've tried and it doesn't work for some reason.

Right, however thats not a solution for most people because most people use Outlook with imap setups

Thats not a solution for most of us unfortunately. The new Outlook doesn’t support imap

Yes, doesn’t work

Starting to get the feeling that they royally screwed up, explains the lack of a response and complete ignorance from customer support. I went through hell downgrading my OS back to Mojave and then back to Big Sur. Did a time machine back up, and it looks like something got corrupted in the backup data when I installed to Monterey because now I have the Outlook issue there too. However, the Spotlight indexing does work. So Im not sure what to make of it.

At this point I’m honestly considering moving off of Apple for good, after 20 years of being a loyal customer. It seems like their devs/engineers are lazy, and the company culture has changed over the years. I don’t want to clutter this forum with my rant, but I’m just disappointed in the product quality over the past 3-5 OS updates. It seems as though they’re getting progressively worse.
