    Already done but, for my customer, searching mail without indexing is too slow expecially since it start from the oldest mail.

    I have to install a working Outlook indexing + Exhange so that I can be sure that there's also Ms direct support and the exact mail output from Outlook, webmail and mobile App

    Oulook indexing exception win11

    In Windows, right-click Start, and then select Run. In the Open: box type regedit, and then choose OK. This will open the registry editor.

    Find this subkey in the registry and then click it:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

    Select Edit > New > Key and name the new key Windows Search.

    Choose the new Windows Search key.

    Select Edit > New > DWORD Value.

    Type PreventIndexingOutlook for the name of the DWORD, and then press Enter.

    Right-click PreventIndexingOutlook, and then choose Modify.

    In the Value data box, type 1 to enable the registry entry, and then select OK.

    Exit Registry Editor, and then restart Outlook.
