Outlook for macOS: Dropping attachments (randomly)

Anonymous

Hello all,

For some reason, Outlook for Mac is dropping attachments and images in the emails I send. It's random, but it happens to me quite often. I managed to find out that this issue has historically occurred with other people using older versions. It seems that this bug has returned to Outlook for Mac.

I have the latest version 16.75.

macOS is also updated, i.e., macOS Ventura 13.4 (22F66).

I didn't have this problem before. It appeared about a month ago. In the meantime, a new version of macOS has been released and there have been several updates for Outlook, but the situation persists.

Attachment randomly disappears from the e-mail which I send with the attachments and pictures. It looks very unprofessional.

This is example how it looks when I add picture to the e-mail when the message is sent.

If I try it once again on the second attempt the attachments/pictures are sent without issues.

I need help, please.Any advice?

    I'm still experiencing the same issues.

    Version: 16.77.23082006

    1. From time to time, messages are not sent and they get stuck in the Outbox. A restart is required.
    2. Attachments and pictures disappear from the sent emails.
    3. There's also an issue with resizing the Outlook app (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/outlook-for-macos-cannot-be-resized-stuck-as-half/b9646d70-00fd-4151-af5b-1d1b49b3fb5a).

    I'm aware I'm using the Beta version, but the Current Channel isn't any better. I'm awaiting an update with a fix.

    I'm now using 16.76 and no it won't fix the Attachments and signatures being dropped.

    Although something new comes up on this version. It sometimes has a pop up that says I have Connection Issues, which is incorrect because the email goes through, the internet works and I receive emails. But appears to be unrelated to the Attachements being dropped, so my point is moot.

    Hi All,

    I've just come across this on the Microsoft admin centre addressing the issue we all have. Another update expected on the 29th August.
