Outlook for Mac Does Not Work on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite Public Beta)

Outlook launches without a Home Screen.

Menu Items are accessible and function properly (i.e. compose and send email, access Accounts etc.).

However, Home Screen does not render and you cannot see (or access) Mailboxes, Calendar, Contacts etc.

Appreciate that this is an issue with Public Beta Version but Apple has now issued this to One Million Mac Users and plenty of Microsoft Users rely on Outlook for Mac so, will need to be resolved.

    Thanks Ian - made my day too!

    Easy solution to a problem that was starting to wear me down - there's only so long you can use webmail.

    Many thanks for sharing your solution

    Actually, this didn't work for me after-all. It does open the Outlook windows and I can at least see it,but even after re-starting the database: Outlook never connects to my server and is always "pending".

    Sadly, Mac's default 'Mail' app is crashing every ten minutes too with Yosemite so e-mail has become a total pain in my **** now.

    Hi,

    Any progress in solving the problem?

    I have a solution that works for me :-)

    1, Start Outlook, and the main window will not open

    2, Start Activity Monitor and kill the Microsoft Database Daemon

    3, Go back to Outlook, and now the main window will open

    4, Put the text "Microsoft Database Daemon" in the Spotlight, find it and start it

    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/Microsoft Database Daemon.app

    Now you will have Outlook working until next time you have to restart the Mac

    Regards

    Ian Birchman
