Dmtiry_Demidov personally i think is Outlook indexing issue. as i'm using both windows and macos platform. both platforms facing same issue of indexing. whereby if i'm using OWA, this isnt an issue at all. The available solutions on the website are works, just probably for a period of time or your existing emails. any new incoming emails shall be reindex again. means you're gonna reindex (repeating the steps) once you facing the issue again until it solves by Microsoft.

    Dmtiry_Demidov 1.5GB of emails for 10 months. the indexation is pretty fast for me. it works right after the add/remove and quitting outlook.
