If your drive is old and fragmented, it will require even more free space.

Not only do you need additional space the size of the Identity, the system also needs room to work. Check the amount of free space on your drive in Disk Utility. I wanted to manually move my saved mail, rules, etc from a Time Machine backup into my 'Main Identities' folder located in my documents folder. Check the size by doing a Get Info on the Identity. I have a fresh installation of Yosemite 10.10.2 & a fresh installation of Office 2016 for Mac (Preview) installed (no 2011 installed on this system as I just erased and re-installed the OS). When rebuilding it duplicates the Identity. Outlook needs a lot of free space to rebuild. Once you try to rebuild and it fails, it can leave you with an Identity that will never rebuild. Most likely this is the name of your Identity. Office 2011is 32-bit.ĭownload the Microsoft Office for Mac 14.7.7 update package nowīy default when you open Outlook it creates an Identity called Main Identity. While the apps will continue to work in Sierra, starting in High Sierra 32-bit apps will be depreciated.

In October it will officially be End of Life software. This is the last updater Office 2011 will ever receive.
