Outlook automatically jumps to older emails

Hi,

The last version of Outlook for office 365 (for Mac) automatically jumps to older emails when I leave Outlook in the background. 

So far I could not find any pattern of how and when exactly it does so. But when returning to Outlook after having worked in other applications for some minutes, Outlook has already jumped and is showing a one or two months old email, meaning I have to manually go to the top of the list.

Any idea if it is possible to solve this issue in the current version or whether we will have to wait for an upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Please try the "Insiders Fast" 15.23 public update to see if this is still happening.  Go to "Help"->"Check for Updates" and opt in to the "Insiders Fast" program at the bottom to get the new update.  If you are on "Insiders Slow" or have not opted into a pre-release, then you will have to wait a few more days for the update.  We did make a change that we thought might fix the jumpiness, but haven't been able verify since we can't repro internally.

    For me it always jumping  this way:  go to "Unread", go back to "All", scroll down (jumped to the "Last Month" emails). This is really annoying. Please fix it.

    P.S. unchecking "show in groups" fixed an issue
