Are you experiencing issues with Microsoft Outlook not responding on your Mac? If so, don't worry - this is a common problem that can be easily resolved with the right troubleshooting steps.

Step 1: Force Quit the Outlook App

The first step to resolving the issue is to force quit the Outlook app. To do this, click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of your screen and select 'Force Quit.' In the Force Quit window, select Microsoft Outlook and click 'Force Quit' again to confirm.

Step 2: Open Terminal and Run a Command

Next, open Spotlight Search by pressing Command + Spacebar, type 'Terminal,' and press Return. This will open the Terminal app on your Mac. Type the following command and press Enter:

`killall outlook`

This command will close any running instances of Outlook and restart the app.

Step 3: Check for Updates

Another possible solution is to check if there are any updates available for Outlook. To do this, open Spotlight Search again, type 'App Store,' and press Return. In the App Store window, click on 'Updates' in the left menu and see if an update is available. If so, download and install it.

Step 4: Run First Aid

If the issue persists, you can try running Disk Utility's First Aid feature to check for any storage errors that may be causing the problem. To do this, open Spotlight Search again, type 'Disk Utility,' and press Return. In the Disk Utility window, select your startup disk and click on 'First Aid.' Follow the prompts to run the test.

Step 5: Repair Disk Errors

If First Aid finds any issues with your disk, you can try repairing them using the same Disk Utility app. To do this, select the affected disk and click on 'Verify' or 'Repair' as needed.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of Outlook not responding on your Mac. Remember to always keep your operating system and apps up to date, and run regular backups to prevent data loss in case something goes wrong. If none of these solutions work for you, it may be worth contacting Microsoft support for further assistance.
