Using older versions of Outlook for Mac for personal email and calendar
Hi All,
we recently upgraded to the new version,
Sending mail attachments would remove when sending to emails.
Steps involved to try and fix that didn't work:
- Uninstalling all Microsoft Outlook files and reinstalling. (didn't work)
- Uninstall Outlook by deleting to trash.
- Deleting the main profile in the folder:
- ~/Library/Group Containers/#######Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles
- Followed this link: Outlook Mac - Clear everything out and start again - Microsoft Community
- Then reinstalling outlook again. not working.
- Removing Microsoft license. (didn't work)
- We also removed the licensee from office to see if that works via the license removal tool.
- How to remove Office license files on a Mac - Microsoft Support
None of these options worked.
What worked
The only fix for us was to downgrade just office. we selected V16.59 but maybe a slightly newer version will work until Microsoft fix these issues.
Follow the Uninstall all Microsoft Outlook files procedure. then install via the Update history for Office file supplied bellow.

Hope this helps while Microsoft get their act together :)
PS. don't forget to turn off mac office auto updates.
