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.

    Same problem. Outlook Android takes up too much space and cannot be transferred to SD card.

    I have now uninstalled Outlook 365 for Android. I found a very good free Email for Outlook in the Google Play Store. Apart from now and again an annoying advert it works very well with my IMAP account. It does not take up a lot of storage space. Problem solved as far as I am concerned.

    What client are you using now? I'm surprised that MS development team hasn't resolved this issue yet.

    The storage issue appears to have been fixed in a recent release, although there are still open issues I've documented that haven't been addressed.

    Thanks for the update. I will give Outlook a new try. Currently, I am using "Email App" from Playstore. I also use Outlook Calendar as a separate App. They work well in combination.
