Outlook Search Repair

The Outlook Search Repair tool repairs search results within Outlook.

Important

Due to some changes in macOS Mojave, this tool no longer works in 10.14 and higher. If you are on macOS Mojave (10.14), you can follow the steps below to reindex Spotlight for Outlook for Mac.

1. Choose Apple menu, then System Preferences, and then Spotlight.

2. Select the Privacy tab.

3. In Finder:

   1. On the Go menu, select Go to Folder...

   2. Copy and paste the following location into the 'Go to the folder:' dialog box and select Go:

      ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/

4. Drag the 'Main Profile' folder to the Privacy tab. Once added, remove the folder from the Privacy tab, and Spotlight will re-index the folder.

   You must perform this step for any additional profile folders you have.

See the following article from Apple to learn more: How to rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac.

When to use the tool

Use this tool if search results within Outlook show nothing or return older items only. For example, if you search for an email message that you already have open and that message isn't displayed in the search results.

How to use the tool

1. Download and open the Outlook Search Repair tool.

2. Follow the instructions.

   Note The tool searches for duplicate installations of Outlook. If no duplicates are detected, go to step 3. If duplicates are detected, remove the duplicate Outlook installations, and then restart the system. After your system is restarted, the Outlook Search Repair tool may reopen. If it does reopen, exit and restart the tool.

3. Select Reindex.

   Note The Outlook Search Repair tool displays a 'Reindexing, please wait' message while it works. Wait for this process to finish. This may require an hour or more, depending on the size of your Outlook profile. Outlook doesn't have to be open when the repair occurs. A spotlight search will be slower and may not finish while the index is being repaired.

4. Exit the Outlook Search Repair tool when you receive the following message after the repair is completed:

   Done! Reindexing has completed!

OutlookResetPreferences

The Outlook Reset Preferences tool resets all Outlook preferences to their default settings.

When to use the tool

Use this tool to reset any customizations that you've made to Outlook by using the Preferences option on the Outlook menu. This tool also stores the settings for the Outlook window size and position. This tool shouldn't be needed most of the time. But it can be useful.

Note The Outlook Preferences file doesn't contain all the preferences for the application. Also, resetting Outlook preferences doesn't remove email messages or account settings.

How to use the tool

1. Download and open the Outlook Reset Preferences tool.
2. Click the Reset Now! button. This closes Outlook if it's open, and then resets the preferences to their default settings.
3. Exit the Outlook Reset Preferences tool.

SetDefaultMailApp

The Default Mail Application tool lets you easily make Outlook the default mail application.

When to use the tool

Use this tool if you want Outlook to open a new email message when you click a mailto: link in an email message or on a website. Selecting a mailto: link opens the default email application. Outlook isn't the default email application until you change that setting.

How to use the tool

1. Download and open the Default Mail Application tool.
2. In the Default Mail Application dialog box, select com.microsoft.outlook, and then click Make Default.
3. Exit the Default Mail Application tool.

ResetRecentAddresses

The Reset Recent Addresses tool lets you reset recent addresses that Outlook stores. This tool deletes all recent addresses instead of you having to manually delete addresses one at a time.

When to use the tool

When you compose an email message and add people on the To, Cc, or Bcc line, Outlook suggests names as you type characters. The list of names that Outlook uses is a combination of stored contacts, the company directory, and recent contacts. Recent contacts have an 'X' character next to each name. Without this tool, you have to click the 'X' on each contact to remove that contact from the Recent Address List. The Reset Recent Addresses tool cleans out all recent addresses at the same time.

How to use the tool

1. Download and open the ResetRecentAddresses tool.
2. Click the Reset Now! button.
3. Exit the Reset Outlook Recent Addresses tool.

In Microsoft Office, we use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for creating custom programs that enhance Office’s basic functionality and help save time by automating repetitive tasks. We refer to these small VBA programs as Macros.

In this tutorial, we wanted to provide the web’s most complete Macro development resource for Outlook. We will focus on exploring the basics of Outlook VBA for beginners, learn to write macros and then look into some more advanced useful macro ideas. Based on feedback we got, after going though this tutorial, you should be able to develop and run simple VBA macros for Outlook.

• Basics first: We’ll learn how to insert and save a simple custom VBA macro into an active Outlook Session.
• We’ll then set up the macro development environment in our computer.
• We’ll go through the most basic examples of Outlook VBA. This will help you to grasp the Macro development basics and allow you to write simple macros.
• Next, we’ll go ahead and define a shortcut icon for our macro in the Quick Access Toolbar. This will allow the us to run the macro with ease.
• And we’ll finish by enabling Outlook macros and handling their security settings to ensure that the code will actually run when prompted in our computers.

Can i record an Outlook Macro?

Unlike other Office apps, Outlook does not offer a simple Macro recorder to capture user actions and auto-generate the required VBA code for us in the background. Therefore, if we want to add our own custom functionality to Outlook, we’ll need to learn to write simple VBA programs and incorporate them into our Outlook session.

Note: If you are interested to know how the Office macro recorder actually works, i would recommend to look into the MS Word Macros and Excel VBA Macro tutorials.

7. Paste your VBA code into the Module window.
8. Hit File then select Save.
9. Go ahead and close the Developer environment. This will bring you back to your Outlook user interface.

Note: Read on for some simple code examples to get you started with VBA. Never copy VBA code from unknown resources.

Outlook Macros related questions

Where are Macros stored in Outlook?

Well, unlike in Excel for example, which allows you to store macros in the personal.xlb file or in specific spreadsheets; all Microsoft Outlook macros are stored in one global file in your file system. Specifically, the file storing all you Macros is named VBAProject.otm. The file can be found at: C:users<your_user_name>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftOutlook.

Our next step is to insert a small shortcut button which will allow us to easily run the macro. For simplicity, we’ll insert this button to the Quick Access toolbar.

1. Open Microsoft Outlook, if it’s not opened yet.
2. Right click on the upper Outlook Ribbon and select Customize the Quick Access Toolbar.

Additional Outlook Macros ideas

Several of our readers asked whether we could specify further ideas for Outlook Automation. Here are a few ones to get started.

1. Automatically save attachments in incoming messages into a specific folder.
2. Read a list of appointments entries from a CSV file and automatically create appointments in one or more calendars.
3. Automatic task/meeting/contact creation out of incoming emails.
4. Visualize status of attendees response status to a set of recurring meetings.
5. Send Outlook emails from Excel, Word or Access.
6. Download all attachments from a specific Outlook folder into your computer. If your Outlook Account space is limited, you could use this macro to specifically download only large attachments (over 5Mb for instance) to your disk, instead of managing them in Outlook.
7. Export Outlook contacts directly into an Access database. Note that Export contacts to CSV is available in the product.
8. Automatically update meeting information for individual or recurring appointments.
