Microsoft says Outlook hit by 'email visibility issues' – as in, they're blank

Outlook App broken

Email visibility issue continues, and is compounded by awful search function.

Who broke outlook? I used it ten years ago and it was wonderful. Handled multiple email accounts including my gmail one and linked beautifully with my business and personal calendars.

Now if I search for Mike it only shows me messages containing Mike, not email addresses. In fact I've lost / can't see most emails from Mike (example only).

So some context, I'm a reliever (substitute teacher in NZ) working with two schools who run different account settings but both use .school.nz addresses & Microsoft exchange with Google docs in the mix, and my own outlook and gmail accounts all on the one Outlook app. Which l also run on school laptop (it works better there) and my tablet (where I first setup outlook and it works best).

I note most teachers just work emails from a browser, but I prefer not to as used to be less flexible. Is that the answer though, Outlook app so broken I should give up and embrace working via browser?

Sad, not least because seriously limits working offline. Hoping for a solution
