Outlook Doesnt Quit Mac Thanks In

You need to hunt as there is no rhyme nor reason for where they are located.

Outlook Doesnt Quit Mac Thanks In

Mac OS - Yosemite Office 2016 for Mac Thanks in advance for any suggestions for file retrieval.

Susan.

The content of those folders are and should always be understood to be (systematically) ephemeral.

Any more than youd hope to write a permanent note in the sand at the beach (in the wet sand as close to the water as you can get during low tide).

The link above is how youone can explore the current contents of said temp folder, but one should not ever expect nor hope that former fails might remain be found there.

And given the amount those files are overwritten, any attempt at data recovery is probably a fools errand.

Outlook 2016 has a Caches folder at LibraryGroup ContainersUBF8T346G9.OfficeOutlookOutlook 15 ProfilesMain ProfileCaches Please, stay away from and do not ever touch the contents of LibraryGroup ContainersUBF8T346G9.OfficeOutlook Data is stored there.

Caveat emptor and expect things to break terribly if you (re)move anything from that location.

Unfortunately Microsoft defaults to Outlook.tmp under certain conditions, so for the inexperienced user this can be an unexpected major problem.

Lesson learned. I dont think this user will save again without paying attention to where it is being saved.

Outlook relies upon MAC OS to store temp files and MAC does this in a weird and almost random way.

They are s tired in the following location (you have to hunt in each subfolder for your file as they will not show in Finder).

Open Finder Click View Go to File Type in PrivateVarfolders This will show you a number of folders.

IF the above does not work then do the following: open a new email attachment in Outlook and save it to Outlook Temp.

This will trigger Outlook Temp to appear in your recents listing.

Open Word (or whatever program your file needs) Click FILE Click OPEN Click on Box showing the current folder (TOP middle of screen).

Select Outlook Temp Find your file Open and save it int eh correct location.

TRICK: Now that you have Outlook Temp directory open you can drag it to the Favorites Side bar and you will always have access.

It took me 4 hours to find my file last night and a long call with Apple.

Be well. Paul.
