So far, beta 9 is very good. Search is working great. The Grammarly third-party app is not working when I'm creating a new email. I've searched the Knowledgebase and didn't find an answer. I've contacted eM Cleint support, and also will ask over at grammarly.com. macOS Activity Monitor shows fairly high memory use as compared to Outlook.
Got a tip for us?

eM Client is maybe not bad but is not a solution for us working in the corporate environment. MS please fix this asap and if you need cooperation with Apple, ask them and do it together !!!
The response back from Grammarly support:
Unfortunately, eM Client isn't currently supported. Although we don’t have a quick fix, please rest assured that our team has been made aware of the issue. I can’t provide you with an estimated timeframe right now because the developers need some time to analyze the cause of the issue.
Understood. Capability-wise it looks to be enterprise-level, but yeah, good luck getting your IT folk to support it.
Although other programmes may seem useful, with Outlook moving forward in 365, Microsoft will turn off AuthSMTP regardless of what your admin sets sometime in the next year. This will mean that lots of very capable email clients that currently use AuthSMTP to talk to exchange servers will fail to be useful. We really do need Outlook to work and I cannot see corporate IT departments tolerating much else. It is given the M1 chip being available particularly annoying that you can't just run the iOS version in this situation as a stopgap!
Microsoft and Apple will together fix this in a 16.58 and/or 12.1.1. It's a question of how quickly. The Holidays may add a week or two to the resolution. They work well together.
I'll be fine moving over to Outlooks' new view if/when they add support for my existing folders, but I may just stick with this alternate eM client. I'm don't need Exchange Server, but I know a great many do. I also have a choice in what apps I use, and I know a great many don't.

Some of the recent posts here suggest that Microsoft is saying it's Apple's problem, and Apple are saying it's Microsoft's problem ..... This doesn't give me confidence that Microsoft and Apple will work together on this problem to fix it ....
Just my five cents. Native Mail client is an option when one needs message search functionality only. Otherwise it lacks some enterprise features as was mentioned above. For me they are:
- mail encryption with an USB dongle
- Teams meetings creation (though have heard someone managed to arrange this - haven't dig it myself)
The only possible solution for me was to roll back to Big Sur from backup and keep an eye on the situation.

Hi,
I'm french et sorry for my poor English
.
I have the same problem as you.
I reported it to Microsoft and they just sent me this link : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-big-sur-b5dec081-3aa0-4f10-bba7-7a18f3f85252
Not tested yet, although I am skeptical...

I tried this last week and can confirm that it does NOT solve the issue.Hi,

Those are the same steps people in this thread have already tried. It will not solve the problem with Outlook search in macOS 12.1.Hi,

i am reported today that some of the Windows users also have issues with Outlook search. so is it really the Apple problem or MSOFT screwed it up?
If you you have apple silicon chip there is no way to go to back 12.0.1 unless you did full HD backup before Monterey 12.1 upgrade. Checked with Apple support
The search that the "old" Mac Outlook uses relies on Spotlight, built into macOS. It's not related to how Outlook searches for messages in Windows.
True, but i was just referring to Windows users who seem to be having some search issues like searching with keywords is not returning accurate results, after upgrading to latest version of Outlook on their systems. Although Outlook for Mac & Outlook for Windows are two separate products with different logic, there could still be some common concept in programming logic when it comes to search and indexing? thats why i said, is it really the apple problem or microsoft should take the blame!
I don't know if it can be useful, but I downgrade at 12.0.1 by initializing the disc, installing 12.0.1 with a USB stick and using migration assistant to restore data from Time Machine.
I haven't read all 9 pages of this thread, but I wonder if Microsoft have broken something larger with their Apple Silicon updates, as the preview release of the AS-native OneDrive is also non-searchable and non-indexible and immune to Spotlight (as discussed on pages 3 and 4 of this OneDrive thread).
Just sounds very similar.

Yes, search works in "New" outlook but it brings other issues and I hate the design.
What a pain in the ass!
Please Microsoft and Apple, stop blaming each other and get this fixed!

Another odd behavior I have seen is with the "New Outlook" it is prone to having mail stick in the Outbox of my Office 365 account. The stick is only with this account (not my other Gmail and IMAP accounts). Toggling back to "Old Outlook" the mail sends as expected. I found the problem only after asking people to stop sending me requests for the same information I sent them an hour ago. Oops.
I've adapted to using New Outlook only for search and using native Mail or Old Outlook to actually send mail.
For people who have swapped to New Outlook - you might want to keep an eye on your Outbox folder to make sure you don't end up with same problem.

i am thinking about doing this. When you did the above, was it with an AS machine?
Interesting observation over in this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/spotlight-not-working-again.2319984/
Yes, reindexing was the remedy in the past and had probably different reason. And MS support offers this as a remedy in the first contact. But this issue is connected with upgrade to Monterey 12.1 and any reindexing does no help. A lot of people spent hours/days with this activity without any success.
