Update: While I wasn't able to find a more surgical solution to this problem, Microsoft Outlook Support suggested that I uninstall/reinstall Mac Office 2016.


I was more than a little reluctant to go this route because it involved removing folders from ~/Library which always makes me nervous (if you've done this with another application only to find that your Mac won't boot the next time, you know what I mean).

I also checked the Outlook 2016 mdimporter and it appears to be the same version after reinstalling Office 2016 as before - so the hypothesis that there is a new Mojave version of the Outlook mdimporter appears to be false.

Here's more information on how to check if your situation is the same as mine. If so, uninstalling/reinstalling Office 2016 will save you countless hours of trying different ways to force reindexing of your Outlook email files.



It would be great if someone at Apple could escalate this to the software engineering team that maintains Migration Assistant. The overall migration was a breeze with the exception of how Outlook 2016 was migrated from High Sierra to Mojave. I realize this is a Microsoft application but it would be great if this 'just worked'.

We do not recommend that you change the default location of your Profile folder for Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac, or your Identity folder for Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 to an external hard disk or to a network. Additionally, using a mail identity or profile that is located on an external hard disk or on a network is not supported in either version of Outlook for Mac.
