In addition to updating your Outlook 2016, it won’t hurt that you update your OS X as well. Some users even suggest downloading the beta update because it fixes the issues with Outlook 2016. Solution 2 – Uninstall Outlook 2016 and download the older version The second solution is to dragon the Outlook app to the trash, but make sure that you back up your data if you can. After you’ve done that download the earlier build and make sure that you turn off auto-update function, so you don’t update to the latest version. This isn’t a solution, but a workaround until stable and functional version is released.

To do this you need to navigate to your Office folder and to run MS Database Utility.
