It also didn't fix the non-chronological ordering of newly created emails relative to imported emails (Apple Mail doesn't have this problem.) It still can find them based on text that's in the Subject line, just not text that's in the email body.] I reindexed the entire drive, but the search from within Outlook 2016 still can't find the imported emails based on a search for text within the email bodies. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid it didn't work. and see if this is going to be of any assistance to you in fixing the issue. I suggest that you rather try rebuilding the spotlight index on your mac as you have imported from entourage into Outlook 365 – rebuild spotlight search index as given in here They are buried within the imported emails from 2011! See attached screenshot showing how the emails are ordered the new emails, sent in late Aug 2016, are highlighted in red. Within Outlook) are actually out-of-order with those that had been imported. While thereĪre hundreds of emails I've sent him, they're supposed to be ordered chronologically within Business, which would make it easy to scan through them - except that Outlook isn't properly adhering to this chronological order: the new emails I've sent (from To search for all emails I've sent him, I go into Sent Items, order them by "To" and search for "Business." Then I can scroll down and see all the emails to him grouped together. I have another colleague whose email has the name "Business". So why can Apple Mail find them, but Outlook can't? And why just these imported emails,Ģ) Sent Items has a problem with this type of search: Mail (I had also imported my Entourage emails into Apple Mail, via mbox files), and it had no problem locating the emails to/from Steve via a text search for "Steve". I've not noticed this problem with any other imported emails, just those to/from Steve. I tried searching based on other text from the body of those emails that was unique to them, and the search still didn't return those emails.

Oddly, when I searched his company name (which is in the email header), it was able to find those emails. Same with emails he sent me, when searching the Inbox. I.e., the emails I'd imported were invisible to the search. The search was only able to find emails I had sent himĪfter I'd done the import. In Sent Items, I entered "Steve" into the search. I was trying to find all emails to and from a colleague, let's call him "Steve" ("Steve" was not in the email address, rather I was relying on the fact that his name appears as text in the body of theĮmails, e.g., "Hi Steve"). The search is giving me two problems with email from a POP account that was stored on Entourage, which I've imported into Outlook using Emailchemy via a synthetic IMAP server.ġ) The search is unable to find some imported emails.
