Outlook for Mac and the spinning wheel of frustration! - Microsoft Community


so frustrating "feature" of outlook vengeance!!!!

facts

account: office 365 account, corporate

software: outlook 2016 mac 15.30 (170107)

device: macbook pro (13-inch, 2016, touchbar) (processor 3.3 ghz intel core i7) (memory 16 gb 2133 mhz lpddr3) (storage 1 tb flash storage) (so maxed out specs)

network: (100 mb broadband link, average download speed 95 mbps, average upload speed 20 mbps, number of users : 1 (me))

as can see above specs, there no compromise on specs of infrastructure. however, situation this:

  • i click on email - spinning wheel
  • i scroll on email list - spinning wheel
  • i scroll on email - spinning wheel
  • i double click open email in new window - spinning wheel
  • i click on search box - spinning wheel
  • i on outlook window - spinning wheel

the spinning wheel lasts 5-20 seconds, gets average 200 emails day, pulling out fingernails!!!

more details activity monitor:

cpu usage outlook ~ 3-6%

mem usage ~270 mb

disk usage ~5.5 gb

more 80% of system resources free overall

things have tried:

  • new profiles 9deleted master profile, created new one, created multiple profiles,
  • removed .plist files
  • re installed outlook
  • deleted , added o365 account
  • all permutations , combinations of above, multiple times

outcome- guess - spinning wheel!!!!!

if can here, eternally grateful!!!
