Outlook 2016 For Mac Counts Wrong

Outlook 2016 for mac counts wrong password

Even though the control says 'items in view', Outlook can't properly count them in a filtered view so total items and unread item counts aren't shown.

  • So, I was having this BRUTALLY annoying issue on my macs (when I work from home, I work on my mac) where, every time I launched Outlook 2016, I would be prompted to login with my credentials.

  • Yes, you can install and use Office 2016 for Mac and Office for Mac 2011 at the same time. However, we recommend that you uninstall Office for Mac 2011 before you install the new version just to prevent any confusion. To uninstall Office for Mac 2011, follow the steps in Uninstall Office 2011 for Mac. How do I pin the Office app icons to the dock?
