  • Outlook 2016 bug “No results when searching All Mailboxes” fixed

    Got a note last night from reader KY saying that the old “Search All Mailboxes” bug has been fixed.

    Microsoft says that the latest click-to-run version of Office 365 has the fix:

    ISSUE

    After updating Outlook or Office to version 16.0.8827.2062, searching using the All Mailboxes option shows no results.

    STATUS: FIXED

    The issue is fixed in Monthly Channel Version 1712 (Build 8827.2179). To get the latest update immediately, open Outlook and choose File > Office Account > Update Options > Update Now.

    I wonder if one of the non-security Office 2016 patches this month also provides the fix. (There were three patches specifically for Office 2016 this month.) Darned if I can find any documentation about it, though.

    KY confirms that his fix came through Click-to-Run.
