Microsoft has just released brand new Microsoft Office 2016 preview for Mac. Have you downloaded and installed Mac Preview Edition? I just did and it worked perfectly fine except Outlook crash each time when I start the Microsoft Outlook.app.
Here are the symptoms:

Microsoft Error Reporting log version: 2.0 Error Signature: Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS Date/Time: 2015-03-05 21:15:11 +0000 Application Name: Microsoft Outlook Application Bundle ID: com.microsoft.Outlook Application Signature: OPIM Application Version: 15.8.150303 Crashed Module Name: OutlookCore Crashed Module Version: 15.8.150303 Crashed Module Offset: 0x0003d1c4 Blame Module Name: OutlookCore Blame Module Version: 15.8.150303 Blame Module Offset: 0x0003d1c4 Application LCID: 1033 Extra app info: Reg=en Loc=0x0409 Crashed thread: 32 |
How to fix this error?
Well there is a simple solution to fix it. Just execute below two commands on Terminal.app and you should be all set.
|
1 |
defaults delete com.microsoft.Outlook - to delete old preferences |
|
1 |
killall cfprefsd - to kill cached preferences |
After above steps, just launch the Outlook application and you should be all set. Just don’t import anything from Mac 2011 installs.
This issue doesn’t impact old Outlook 2011 application – it works without issue.
Where is my Database File for Outlook 2011 and 2016? The Outlook database is completely separate from the one used in Outlook 2011.
Outlook 2011 uses
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities
Outlook 2016 uses
~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile
Enjoy New Office. So far it’s all good.
