    Hi, thanks for the reply. On point 2, you say go to Outlook > Preferences > Search > Indexing > Rebuild, but on my system its Outlook > Settings > Search > and then there are limited options (see screen shot)![Image](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/ceada97e-6a5a-4d64-befb-8d20b6223aef?platform=QnA

    Actually, I'm unable to go back as it seems if I do I'll lose most of my emails over the past month. New saved folders are gone, emails gone and more.

    What a total disaster this "New Outlook" truly is.

    Ok. Got it.

    That's another reason why I won't switch to the "New Outlook" for a while.

    A wise move. The New Outlook is, if you look at countless threads both here and elsewhere on the net, pretty broken and should never have been released as it is. I've gone back to the legacy. The bottom line is The New Outlook was not ready to be released when it was and little seems to have been done to fix it since.
