Hello Stephen Fletcher2,

Thank you for posting to Microsoft community.

I understand that you are facing an issue with Outlook attachments in the Outlook MAC app. Apologies for the inconveniences caused. We have received a number of users facing this issue and we're currently looking into this situation. In the meantime, kindly provide me with following information for further checks. Thanks in advance!

• What version of Outlook for mac are you using? See What version of Outlook do I have? - Microsoft Support
• May I please know if you are using the New Outlook for Mac or Legacy version Outlook? If you are using the New Outlook, have you tried with the legacy version Outlook? if not, please kindly revert your Outlook version and check if there is any difference, to revert your Outlook, please Open your Outlook --> Help --> Revert to Legacy Outlook.

Could you kindly try setting up your account in a new Outlook profile and see if issue persists: For reference: Manage profiles or identities in Outlook for Mac - Microsoft Support (Please do not delete the current profile as yet to prevent any data loss)

Thanks Ashraf

I have switched to the old version and will trial the issue fix

Hello Stephen,

Thanks a lot for the response.

Does that imply that you can send the attachments without issues after reverting to the old/legacy outlook version? I will also keep you posted on this matter.

Appreciate your patience on this.

Best Regards,

Ashraf

Hi Ashraf

On a limited number of tests - the files that I could not send yesterday, I have been able to send.

The 'old' version is a good compromise although I would like to return to the latest version at some point.

Thanks for your help

Kind regards

Stephen
