Hello everyone.

I recently installed SU1 (KB5036401) for CU14 on Exchange Server 2019.

It went smoothly with no issues.

After the update, users cann't search emails in Microsoft Outlook app, OWA works fine though.

Also envelope icon is showing for new mails received in Outlook app and it doesn't get cleared after opening that email, there's no issue in OWA.

There was no mention of these issues in "Known Issues" section.

Is there any workaround? Does uninstalling the update fix the issue for the time being?

Thanks in advance

    It looks like moving the users mailbox to another database also solves the problem.

    Hi.

    Same problem after SU installed few days ago on exchange server 2019 :

    On some mailbox (not all) search doesn't work with outlook client (outlook365)

    OWA is ok

    In my case, same problem with outlook in cached or not mode

    Most of users can use search without trouble...

    Yes, registry keys solve the search problem.

    But yellow mail enveloppe still showing in Outlook even is mail has been opened...

    In my case, the search starts working after changing the scope from 'current mailbox' to another one, e.g. 'current folder' or 'subfolders' - Outlook 2019 and 365.
