Outlook Mac rebuild fails and crashing everytime

Hello everyone,

I use Outlook mac as a daily soap email client to manage my mails and contacts. A Couple of days back, a few of my required mails went missing and I looked them up in the search option. I could see them after searchning them but could not open them. Taking some technical advice I opted to perform Outlook mac rebuild operation. But this operation failed every time I operated it, outlook crashed everytime.

Can anyone suggest the solution??

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Generally we don't do software problems. This is a volunteer DIY hardware help forum.

There are many variables left out of your Question - What MacBookPro (there's a lot of those), What OS there's a lot of those too, What version of Outlook (again a lot of possible versions).

You're certain you have enough storage space? (disk not full)

If the app will launch

  1. Go off-line (disconnect Ethernet or airport.)
  2. Export any recent messages
  3. Quit the app.
  4. Often when applications behave poorly in OS X a first step is to delete the User/Library/Preferences .plist file(s). I would put your MS .pllst files in the trash (where the OS can't access them) and
  5. attempt a "verify database integrity" which should allow a rebuild if needed.

If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it accepted.

None of the solutions were helpful. Rather I opted for an application that did the job, Gladwev Outlook Mac Database Recovery. I got the tool from here: http://www.outlookmacdatabaserecovery.co...

I think it should be suggested to others having the same situation.

Thanks
