Outlook - Android - Storage Use

Hello,

I'm not the first one I think to ask this question, but I cannot find any satisfactory answer - Is their any way to control the space  used by the Outlook Android App?

I just removed the account the App was linked to this morning : it was going up to 1.2 G - managing 01 Email account - linked to 01 cloud.

Gmail app - to which 2 Emails account (same one and one other) are linked is using Gmail for a total space of 258 MB - and access to data, including files enclosed to the email, is as fast as with outlook app.

Even if I would like to keep going using Outlook app - it seams just to be impossible to use until the question is solved.

Hope Outlook developer will one day find the way around this question - or at least to allow to switch most of the data on the SD card.

    Hi all,

    Surprisingly, the outlook app on my Pixel 4a is behaving better than recently. Since two three days  I can again reply to IMAP emails and write news ones. Also, user data storage is kind of stable around 200MB. Still version 4.2103.0. There is hope!?

    Right - well, I'll stick my IMAP account back in and see if it behaves itself.  Thanks.

    I have linked three IMAP and one Outlook.com account and they are now behaving as expected. Still, I don't dare leave the phone on the charger overnight. Maybe superstition, maybe it prevents a faulty service from running. A word from Microsoft would be appreciated.

    Same problem. 

    Ruins my phone to be honest. However, help does not seem to emerge from this forum.

    It doesn't appear to be fixed yet.  And I guess it's down to M$ to fix it.....
