New Outlook for Mac does not show emails older than 30 days

Hello,

I needed to find an email that I keen the date that was send to me. So I start scrolling down to my Inbox. To my surprise, I could not scroll further than 30 days.

What's up with that? Only 30 days of ?

Is there a way for the New Outlook to increase that limit of showing only 30 days of emails?

Unfortunately searching in Outlook (either new or old look), seems to be getting worse and worse. Several people in my company have complained that search does not return all emails that should appear and it happened to me several times. So it is not that I can rely on search anymore.

If such simple things cannot be available, I could not imagine if Outlook for Mac will ever get feature parity with the Windows version.

    I tried the new outlook for Mac from day one and reverted back to legacy outlook instantly for the simple reason that I could not find my emails when I scrolled beyond a point. Why is this limited to Mac users? Why would someone on the projects team or dev team think this is how email is used by other platform users. Seems there is some light at the end of the tunnel but seriously, how long does it take to hear feedback and set it right. Have to use Beta version for some normality on the new outlook. Go figure.

    Praise the Lord. I have thought for a long time that I was dreaming up these issue but you nailed every one of them just as I am experiencing them. The Calendar invite to deletion is so stupid and aggravating, its not worth mentioning. Grrrrrrrrrrr!

    You don't need a workaround - the latest beta updates have fixed the problem!

    Thanks Finally I can see my old emails, I prefer the new look but it's useless if I cannot see all my emails. thank you Steve Cable1 for sharing this workaround, I hope Microsft fixes this.
