If you setup Microsoft Outlook on your PC or Mac recently, you may have noticed that your old emails do not come up on a search or when you scroll all the way down in your Inbox.

Now you can use the slide bar to set the age of the emails that will be synced by Outlook.

Click Next, Done and Close buttons and wait for Outlook to sync your mailbox.
