Like the M1 Air but maybe not with outlook?

[kp98077]

I installed work outlook on my M1 8gb air today, not sure if it is indexing still (had the unit for 5 days or so now) but have a large number of outlook emails. BUT when using outlook, it can be a little laggy to load, almost like it is converting. Never had this issue with my Intel Pro version before. Any thoughts on this? Would I see this on the M1 Pro? thanks

I added my work account with Outlook and no issues whatsoever. May be it is unable to sync and it’s trying to sync? Did Outlook complete account setup?

If you try to sync, does it stall?

no not upon synch, just opening certain emails... its like its converting.

The x86 build or the beta?

The x86 build or the beta?

this is the critical question!

i have been running the beta built for AS and outlook as well as the other Office apps run very well

I would try the Beta Version if you are not already using it. I have been using it for two weeks and it appears very stable. You can only choose to download the beta if you did not buy from the Mac App Store as that does not use the Microsoft Auto Update App, which you need to use to switch to the beta version.

no issues here, x86 version

May be the emails are protected messages and it’s trying to contact your organization’s IRM service? Do you any firewall enabled that could cause isssues?

Just related to your "not sure if it is indexing still", there is a simple way to check that.
Open the Activity Monitor app (in the /Applications/Utilities folder), and click on the CPU pane and then the %CPU column so that the higher CPU% apps are shown at the top. The Spotlight indexing is shown by processes named; mds, mds_stores, mdworker, etc. If Spotlight is indexing, it can use up a lot of the CPU, so the graph shown at the bottom of the Activity Monitor window will show high spikes until it is finished. Easy...
