Updated to the New Outlook for Mac 16.73.1. I can't move new inbox or sent emails to my many On My Computer folders. They don't highlight in the sidebar when an email is dragged over like they do in the account sidebar files. How to fix? Many thanks

    This may or not be related to the problem under discussion in this thread...

    I just noticed that search is not working in the folders under "On my computer". It doesn't work in either of the following cases:

    > select the folder the message is in and enter the search term in the search bar at the top

    > right click on a message in the folder and select "Find messages from sender"

    Also still waiting on a response from Microsoft team on the original issue. Is anyone out there?

    This seems to be a widespread problem given the number of people with the same issue. Please notify me when it is resolved.

    Yes, agreed. It is definitely faster and more responsive going from view to view, email to calendar, and performing most of the functions but those items you list are very frustrating and minimize its efficiency. The forwarding is crazy - like you mention, you can't forward an email with attachments because it immediately starts duplicating, triplication, quadruplicating...all the attachments. So weird and very frustrating. Even if you delete them all, which you can't because they keep duplicating so fast...
