Outlook quietly stores a growing pile of temporary files, offline email data, sync logs, and search indexes that compound over months and noticeably slow everything down. To remove the Outlook cache on Mac, start by completely quitting the app to avoid any file conflicts during the cleanup process. Then open your Mac&amp;#39;s Library folder, locate the Microsoft Outlook cache directory, and delete the temporary files stored inside. Additionally, clearing the search index folder separately helps resolve persistent issues with Outlook&amp;#39;s built-in search returning wrong or missing results. Removing the offline data folder is another smart step that frees up valuable storage space and forces Outlook to rebuild a leaner, more efficient local database on the next launch. For a detailed walkthrough covering every step with exact folder locations and safe removal instructions, this thorough guide on how to remove Outlook cache on Mac explains everything you need to know clearly and without any technical jargon. Making this a regular maintenance habit keeps Outlook consistently fast and reliable on your Mac.</description><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/Clear%2bOutlook%2bCache%2bon%2bMac">Clear Outlook Cache on Mac</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/outlook%2bcache">outlook cache</category></item><item><title>Logo Customization for ODM AD Interactive Client</title><link>https://www.quest.com/community/on-demand/i/ideas/logo-customization-for-odm-ad-interactive-client</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 05:03:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">5f2f4fa7-ebc7-4803-900c-42d427844a5e:d96df1be-4af5-4e2d-a7fa-53d0d2baf1a1</guid><dc:creator>rakesh chulliparambil</dc:creator><description>Many customers are giving feed back that when the activity of cutover starts on the desktops people think its some kind of malware attack.

Run it, it fixes the header errors, Outlook opens again. Job done. But people tend to overestimate what it can actually handle. If your PST is heavily corrupted, oversized, or has been sitting broken for a while, ScanPST will either report no errors (and change nothing) or partially repair it in a way that leaves folders empty or items stranded in that Lost and Found folder with no path back to where they belonged. One thing that catches people off guard — ScanPST sometimes needs to be run multiple times on the same file before it fully clears the errors. Not ideal, but worth knowing before you assume it failed after one pass. The size issue is also underrated as a root cause. PST files have a 50GB limit in modern Outlook versions, but performance starts degrading well before that. If your file is sitting at 20GB+ and Outlook has been slow or crashing randomly, that&amp;#39;s probably the source of the corruption — not a one-time event. Splitting the PST into smaller files and keeping it trimmed going forward prevents the same situation from repeating.</description></item><item><title /><link>https://www.quest.com/community/blogs/b/en/posts/quest-celebrates-international-women-s-day?CommentId=54c59cf1-5d7a-43dd-a426-61da780e95d8</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2026 12:17:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">5f2f4fa7-ebc7-4803-900c-42d427844a5e:54c59cf1-5d7a-43dd-a426-61da780e95d8</guid><dc:creator>banneakram</dc:creator><description>vikings-iptv.se/.../</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Unable to download free trail ApexSQL Devops Plus toolkit for ApexSQL doc</title><link>https://www.quest.com/community/apexsql/f/forum/34702/unable-to-download-free-trail-apexsql-devops-plus-toolkit-for-apexsql-doc/86432</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 04:16:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">5f2f4fa7-ebc7-4803-900c-42d427844a5e:4cb6d274-6314-4e47-890c-3d2d5ce91aa6</guid><dc:creator>alexander higgins1976</dc:creator><description>thanks for your valuable indformation</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Source Control Action Center: how can one ignore user changes and not default select</title><link>https://www.quest.com/community/apexsql/f/forum/34944/source-control-action-center-how-can-one-ignore-user-changes-and-not-default-select/86430</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 May 2026 09:38:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">5f2f4fa7-ebc7-4803-900c-42d427844a5e:d8e74ab2-841a-4c09-a716-667e1174785c</guid><dc:creator>alexander higgins1976</dc:creator><description>I was actually wondering about this too.

OST files are Microsoft Outlook&amp;#39;s offline storage files created on Windows, and they simply don&amp;#39;t work on Mac out of the box. But with the right approach — either viewing them directly or converting them into a Mac-compatible format — getting to your data is entirely possible without touching a Windows machine. Before jumping straight to conversion, it&amp;#39;s worth asking whether you actually need to convert the file at all. If your goal is simply to read emails, browse folders, or check attachments from an old OST file, a dedicated viewer is the fastest and least complicated route. The MacSonik OST Viewer Tool lets you open OST files directly on macOS without any Outlook installation or Exchange connection. You get a complete tree-view of your folder structure, full email reading, attachment previews, and mailbox search — all without converting or modifying the original file. It handles large, orphaned, and password-protected OST files as well, making it a practical first step before deciding whether conversion is even necessary. If you do need to go further and import your OST data into Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or another Mac email client for ongoing use, conversion is the way to go. Converting your OST file into formats like MBOX, EML, or PDF makes the data fully accessible within any Mac-compatible email application. The conversion process preserves your complete folder hierarchy, attachments, metadata, and email formatting so nothing gets lost or reorganized in the process. For a complete step-by-step walkthrough of both viewing and conversion methods, this detailed guide on how to open OST files without Outlook covers every available approach with clear instructions. Whether you&amp;#39;re looking for a free workaround or a professional tool that handles large-scale conversions, the guide helps you identify the right method based on your specific needs. Whether you&amp;#39;re recovering emails from an old Windows machine, dealing with a decommissioned Exchange account, or simply trying to access archived mailbox data on your Mac, the combination of a reliable viewer and a solid conversion tool makes the entire process smooth, fast, and completely stress-free.</description><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/OST">OST</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/Viewer">Viewer</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/file%2bmigration">file migration</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/Outlook">Outlook</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/software">software</category></item><item><title>Forum Post: SQL Database Recovery Tool for MDF/NDF Repair in 2026</title><link>https://www.quest.com/community/recovery-manager/f/forum/37338/sql-database-recovery-tool-for-mdf-ndf-repair-in-2026</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 12:32:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">5f2f4fa7-ebc7-4803-900c-42d427844a5e:2f6c527c-ce5c-496b-b922-c1011f6dd7d9</guid><dc:creator>samaira 15946</dc:creator><description>When SQL Server databases become inaccessible or corrupted, having a reliable recovery solution matters.

While Microsoft provides native methods, they often require multiple steps, technical expertise, and can be time-consuming—particularly when handling large or multiple PST files. In fact, manual migration approaches are widely considered inefficient for business environments due to risks like incomplete transfers, attachment loss, and disrupted folder structure. A more practical solution is to use a dedicated migration tool that simplifies the process while ensuring data integrity. The MacSonik PST to Office 365 Migration Tool stands out as a reliable option for businesses and IT professionals. It allows direct migration of PST files into Office 365 accounts without relying on Outlook, which removes common limitations and reduces the chances of failure. The tool also maintains original folder hierarchy, email formatting, and attachments, ensuring nothing is lost during the transfer. What makes it particularly useful for business use is its ability to handle bulk PST files efficiently while offering advanced filters for selective migration. This means you can move only relevant data instead of transferring everything blindly, saving both time and storage. Additionally, its user-friendly interface makes it accessible even for teams without deep technical expertise. If your priority is a smooth, secure, and scalable migration process, relying on a professional PST to Office 365 tool is the smarter choice over manual methods.</description><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/file%2bmigration">file migration</category></item><item><title>Forum Post: How do I convert JSON data while keeping the original structure intact?</title><link>https://www.quest.com/community/recovery-manager/f/forum/37327/how-do-i-convert-json-data-while-keeping-the-original-structure-intact</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 06:27:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">5f2f4fa7-ebc7-4803-900c-42d427844a5e:d7663bdb-559b-4c9f-9a33-78f0e9f6d90c</guid><dc:creator>mathew04052005</dc:creator><description>Maintaining the original structure of JSON data during conversion is my biggest challenge.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Microsoft Teams migrations, where legacy approaches often rely on broad permissions and service accounts that no longer align with modern compliance standards. To address this, we’re introducing a new application for On Demand Migration for Teams: Teams – App Only Permissions. This new consent option is designed for organizations with strict compliance and security requirements, enabling Teams migrations without delegated permissions and without adding a migration service account to the source tenant for migration purposes. Why This Matters Many organizations migrating Microsoft Teams often face a difficult challenge: “How do we move collaboration data without expanding access beyond what security and compliance teams are willing to approve?” Prior to the introduction of Teams – App Only Permissions, migrating Teams with On Demand Migration required granting consent using a Global Administrator account, which could then be limited to Teams Administrator and Exchange Administrator roles, along with an active M365 Teams license. While this reduced the scope of permissions, migration still relied on elevated permissions. When using Teams – Minimal applications for the migration, this is still a prerequisite as the Service Account used for the migration is added as a member or owner of source Teams and M365 Groups to access specific Teams, Channels &amp;amp; Groups settings and objects required for a full fidelity migration. From a functional standpoint, this approach works well. From a security and compliance standpoint, however, it introduced challenges. For many organizations, particularly those in regulated industries or with strict internal security controls, introducing a licensed service account with administrator roles enabled into production Teams environments on the source tenant (even temporarily) is not permitted. Delegated permissions and user-based access models can also increase audit scope, identity exposure, and risk. Teams – App Only Permissions directly addresses these concerns by eliminating delegated access entirely and removing the need for a migration service account to participate in Teams on the source tenant, allowing migrations to proceed while staying aligned with modern least‑privilege and compliance requirements. Designed for Compliance Driven Environments This new application is particularly well suited for organizations that: Must avoid delegated permissions entirely Require reduced identity footprint during migration Need stronger separation between migration tooling and production collaboration workloads By using application only access, organizations can proceed with migration plans while staying aligned with internal security policies and external regulatory requirements. Feature Impact and Trade Offs To maintain this restrictive security posture, the Teams – App Only Permissions application intentionally denies access to certain features that require broader or delegated privileges. When using this application, the following capabilities are not available: Channel settings migration during the Teams Provision task Archiving the source Team with the SharePoint site set to read only Collecting statistics using the Advanced option on the source tenant These limitations are a direct result of maintaining application only access and avoiding elevation of privileges. For many compliance driven organizations, this is a deliberate and acceptable trade off. Choosing the Right Consent Model Quest On Demand Migration continues to offer multiple consent models so customers can choose the approach that best aligns with their technical and organizational requirements. Need maximum fidelity and advanced features? Teams – Minimal utilizes a broader permission model to meet expectations. Need to align and comply with stricter compliance rules and a smaller footprint? Teams – App Only Permissions provides a secure, purpose built option. Our goal is not to dictate a single approach, but to enable an informed choice. Advancing Secure Migrations This release reflects our ongoing commitment to: Evolving with Microsoft’s security and identity model Supporting real world compliance requirements Giving customers control over how migrations are executed As security expectations continue to rise, migration tools must evolve alongside them. This new application for On Demand Migration is another step toward making secure, compliant Microsoft 365 migrations not just possible but practical.

SharePoint and Teams migrations have already embraced least ‑ privilege access through support for Sites.Selected, while mailbox migrations rely on RBAC for Exchange to scope access to only what is required. OneDrive migrations, since release of such scoping capabilities in On Demand Migration (ODM), had to continue utilising more broader permissions. This was not due to technical limitations, but because focus was placed on other high ‑ priority improvements within the ODM for OneDrive module. Growing customer and partner demand has now elevated least ‑ privilege access for OneDrive as a priority in its own right. That feedback has driven the next step forward. Quest On Demand Migration has now officially extended support for Sites.Selected to OneDrive migrations, allowing organizations to apply a consistent security and governance model across SharePoint, Teams, Exchange mailboxes, and OneDrive. Why Security Matters for OneDrive OneDrive is often viewed as “personal storage,” but in practice it frequently contains some of the most sensitive data in an organization: Executive working documents Personal and regulated user data Files shared broadly across teams or tenants Legacy content accumulated through years of organic usage While Exchange migrations already leverage RBAC to scope mailbox access, and SharePoint and Teams migrations can be constrained using Sites.Selected, OneDrive migrations historically lacked an equivalent least ‑ privilege model. This created an inconsistent security posture across Microsoft 365 workloads. With the introduction of supported Sites.Selected configurations, that gap is now closed. Official Support for Sites.Selected in ODM OneDrive Migrations Quest has completed Quality Assurance validation of OneDrive migrations using Sites.Selected permissions and now officially supports this configuration in On Demand Migration. This means customers can adopt this approach with confidence, benefiting from: Supported and validated configurations Predictable migration behavior Clear troubleshooting and escalation paths The resulting security, compliance, and operational benefits mirror those already available when migrating SharePoint sites, Teams content, and Exchange mailboxes. What Is Sites.Selected (and How It Applies to OneDrive)? Sites.Selected is a Microsoft Graph application permission that allows administrators to grant access only to explicitly approved SharePoint sites, rather than permitting tenant ‑ wide access. Because each OneDrive is backed by an individual SharePoint site collection, the same permission model can be used to precisely control which OneDrive sites are accessible during a migration. Benefits of Using Sites.Selected for OneDrive Migrations Stronger Security for Personal Data Access is limited to explicitly approved OneDrive sites No tenant ‑ wide SharePoint permissions are required Reduced exposure of personal and business ‑ critical files Improved Compliance and Governance Consistent least ‑ privilege model across Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive Better alignment with internal security and privacy standards Reduced risk of over ‑ privileged migration tooling More Granular Control Explicit selection of OneDrive sites included in scope Clear visibility into what the application can access Easier validation prior to migration execution Easier Auditing and Cleanup Clear audit trail for migration access Simple removal of permissions once migration completes No lingering elevated access post ‑ project Current Setup Experience for OneDrive Today, enabling Sites.Selected for OneDrive migrations requires manual configuration steps. These steps are fully documented in the following knowledge base article: https://support.quest.com/kb/4382683 . This approach is fully supported but involves refining application permissions after initial consent. What’s Coming Next: A Dedicated OneDrive Application To further simplify setup and reduce manual steps, Quest is planning a dedicated On Demand Migration OneDrive application, similar to what exists today for SharePoint. Planned Improvements Application provisioned with Sites.Selected only No need to remove broader permissions post ‑ consent Cleaner, safer, and faster initial setup Planned availability: Q3 2026 This will make least ‑ privilege OneDrive migrations the default path from day one. Concluding Thoughts With official support for Sites.Selected in OneDrive migrations, Quest On Demand Migration now enables a consistent, least ‑ privilege security model across all major Microsoft 365 workloads. Customers no longer need to compromise between migration efficiency and security posture as least privilege is now achievable across SharePoint, Teams, Exchange, and OneDrive using Quest On Demand Migration.</description><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/ODM">ODM</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/permissions">permissions</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/Migration">Migration</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/Quest_26002300_174_3B00_%2bOn%2bDemand%2bMigration">Quest&amp;#174; On Demand Migration</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/SiteSelected">SiteSelected</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/New%2bFeature%2bSpotlight">New Feature Spotlight</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/Sites-Selected">Sites.Selected</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/Least_1120_Privilege">Least‑Privilege</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/OneDrive">OneDrive</category><category domain="https://www.quest.com/community/tags/On%2bDemand%2bMigration">On Demand Migration</category></item></channel></rss>
