X1 has stopped indexing Outlook Exchange

[bkahler]

My X1 8.63 6003ch has stopped indexing my exchange account, (which I normally access via Outllok) since 24'th of May. When I press "Scan Now" it returns to "finished" status after 30 sec. and shows last indexing 24.5..18. There are many new mails.

what can I do to get it scan correctly and bring the new mails?

I'm having the same problem. Very annoying. Any fixes? Already tried uninstalling / reinstalling and deleting the index.

I am so disappointed in X1's ability to index my inbox and sent folder for Outlook 365. I can see my PST files, but nothing from my OST files. I have tried rebuilding the OST file and uninstalling/reinstalling X1, but no luck.

The only thing that worked was to completely uninstall/reinstall Office 365. That worked temporarily. Now I am back with no index for Inbox and Sent.

Tech support has opened a case for my issue. I sent an email to the new CEO, Craig Carpenter, letting him know that I have been using X1 for over 10 years and have now started to evaluate Lookeen as a replacement.

I hope they can solve my problem so that I can continue using X1. I am giving it to Friday.

This is what worked for me-- I set the default OST Data File to an account that I do not index. I then deleted and rebuilt the index. X1 seems to index OST data files that are not the default.

Please note: this is the default under the DATA FILES tab in Outlook (NOT the default email address under the EMAIL tab).

X1 will not index the default OST data file-- highly annoying.

I don't understand. X1 indexes my Outlook via IMAP.

Is OST something different?

Everything in my Inbox is visible.

Do you have Outlook rules that put your messages somewhere else?

No problems here, Outlook 365 using Exchange.
Also have some POP accounts linked. They are also properly indexed.
FWIW: am using X1 version 8.6.1.6003fa 64bit on Windows 10 x64.

I have exactly the same problem as Swieder711.

I am using Office 356 (Outlook for Office 365 MSO (16.0.11901_20170) 64-bit.

I have 3 email accounts: an Office 365 account and 2 outlook.com accounts.

I also using the latest version of X1 Search 8.

I have a suspicion that the problem is something to do with the 2 Factor Authentication that I am using on my 2 outlook.com accounts. X1 keeps asking for a password for them but if I just press cancel it seems to have access to all the emails. If I try and enter an app password for X1, Outlook stops working and I have to delete my profile.

I have been using X1 since 2006 but it looks like I need to find an alternative. Anyone have any good suggestions?

Since the last update of MS Office, I have exactly the same problem as Swieder711.
X1 not only won't index outlook but it also corrupts the Outlook desktop app.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling X1 multiple times and rebuilding the index. The result is always the same.
Furthermore, I have tried responding to the request for a password with an app password for the outlook.com and hotmail accounts for which I am using 2FA. The latest version of office does not require app passwords and possibly this is the problem because when I use the app passwords in X1, outlook stops work and has to be reinstalled.
When will x1 fix this?
