Then restart Outlook and give it some time to index. Remove the PST file, then restart Outlook, and then add the PST back. The other thing you could try is from the same steps above note the location and name of the PST file that you cannot search. After you fix the PST path restart Outlook and give it some time Under the Location you should see the path is fixed and no longer has the \\?\. To fix it click Settings and then click OK.

Such as \\?\C:\users\username\Documents\Outlook Files\file.pst. Under Location if the PST path is bad it will have a UNC path In Outlook click File, Account Settings, Account Settings. One of the previous builds had a bug that caused the bad path. The first is to try and fix the PST data file path. There are only two workarounds that work for that bug. Here are my tricks (Microsoft ones in fact :)) guys.The article you referenced was due to a recent bug. And the search was working also directly without playing in Indexing etc etc.

That is why he takes help from the manual tricks in order to get rid or resolve this synchronization issue in shared mailbox. The user cannot claim any reason responsible for this synchronization issue with determination.

On a second laptop's user, unfortunately there was too many files/app installed on it etc. This synchronization issue is common among Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016 versions. (In Indexing options -> Advanced -> Rebuild)***Īfter a couple of minutes, the search in other shared mailbox was working really f*** well. *** IF you want, you can also "rebuild" the index file. Start Outlook and let it "build" the indexation file. In Windows -> Look for "Indexing Options." -> Modify -> Check Outlook. In Windows Services -> Look for "Windows Search" -> Set it at "Automatic". Then in Outlook -> click on the search field -> click on Search Tools -> Search Options -> Indexing options. (You know, it's also the trick to know about the automapping shared mailbox etc). (Really important step because the search field option let me at this step to select "All Mailbox"). I added the shared mailbox as a real mailbox. So on the first user's laptop, the search on other mailbox wasn't working. with Microsoft support :) (they found the trick). I was waiting also for some news about that but i finally resolved my issue.

If you use the reg key and that works but you need to see further back than 3 months of data then you can adjust the Sync Slider to download more email for indexing. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\outlook\search See the steps under " If that didn't work, then manually add the shared mailbox to Outlook:".Īnother thing to try depending which issue is to set this registry key that tells Outlook not to use Server Search and just use local Windows Desktop Search (requires Outlook restart). The suggested workaround for that issue is to add the shared mailbox as an additional mailbox. Those tenants have added the accounts as another Exchange account in the profile. Added as an additional mailbox to the profileĪside from the bug I see there is another issue a few tenants are reporting. Added as another Exchange account in the profile

How are the shared mailboxes added to the profile? How many Exchange user accounts are in the profile? Confirm the issue what is your Outlook Profile configuration?
