Cannot open attachments in Outlook after update to 11.6.6.

Same for me with attachments. Try doing "view source" on an email:

The document “Outlook_MessageSource_2022-05-21 03/17/17 +0000_0” could not be opened. You don’t have permission.

To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.

Yeah, that's a lot of help...

So much for inspecting an email that I suspect is SPAM.

Cannot open attachments in Mail & Outlook after update to 11.6.6.

Please support try to find a solution.

Productivity with this bug is decreasing dramatically

I am stacked I wish to be able to go back to the previous version of OS, but it's not possible.

Hope to have a solution soon

Thank you

Hi, have same problems after the 11.6.6. update. It is super annoying and definitely work performance blocker. I was in zoom meeting and trying to save the files from Outlook and open while i try to reply a customer.

Send already bug report to Apple via feedback page Feedback - macOS - Apple so far no response or any feedback.

I am also chatting Microsoft customer support for Outlook Mac, but it is an on and offline process.

It's great you solved your problem, but the issue most of us in this thread are experiencing can be reproduced on a clean install with no third-party software.

Incidentally, it's nice to hear Suitcase still exists (last remember it from the mid-90s!).

Is it just with Big Sur that people are having this issue. I have the same problem with one of my clients and all their machines are on Big Sur right now. I have just tested Outlook 11.6.6 on Monterey and it appears to work ok, so wonder if it is connected with Big Sur only?

in over thirty years that I use the mac it is the first time that I have such a big problem .. but it is very sad that there is no reaction from the parent company ... a bit disappointing because the bug is of considerable size ..

First, I concur with the sentiment and have uttered a few choice words myself.

But, second, the only way this is ever gonna get fixed is if everyone affected takes the 2 minutes necessary and files a bug report. Enough noise might wake the sleeping giant.

I do the same but it is a waste of time as most of my emails in and out are with attachments - I see from the thread this has been going on for at least a month so what is happening are they fixing it ?

This is the last update i got from Outlook support, i feel like they aware the problem and somehow communicating with Apple. We will see. Hope to receive an update from Apple soon that includes a fix for this annoying problem...

I submitted the bug today via the website as I've had this problem for more than a week as well and have been following this thread. Interestingly, when submitting the bug, you can't select big Sur 11.6.6. It stops at 11.6.5

Seems like this is going to be the way it is for awhile. bleh

is this problem also exist on Monterey ? Anyone who has experience to work with both Monterey and BigSur ?

This problem becomes very annoying while working. Need to save every Outlook attachments. if i need to go back same mail either i need to find saved attachments and or save the same attachments once more....

Since there is a new MacOS in the town i don't think this bug (and possible others bugs which we don't know) will be on Apple's priority fix list.

I might consider to upgrade Monterey even though i have no idea how my Early 2015 MacBook Air will response to this upgrade...

I have a mid 2014 MBP - same question. When Monterey first came out, it was not avail for my machine, but now I am getting pop up notices to upgrade to Monterey although my updates show as current as Big Sur 11.6.6.

What's the link to file a bug report with Apple, and also with Microsoft (though the latter will say it is Apple since it was all fine until the new update)

They can say that all they like, but if it's only affecting Microsoft's products, then it's quite possible they've just never been using Apple's APIs correctly, and some bugfix in the OS is now making that a problem.

I have the same. macOS Big Sure 11.6.6

and in the last few days, I cannot click on attachments in e mails of MacMail without it telling me I do not have permission to view the attachment

if I save the attachment, then I can open it - but I used to be able to open them without saving them

is this an "improvement"??

I'm guessing it's also a one way street and there's no going back to 11.6.5.

I had the same question. The answer seems to be "only with a clean installation," which sounds simple enough. Heck, I clean-installed 11.6.6 hoping it would help.

Now, you may ask, how exactly does one acquire a 11.6.5 Installer.app? That's a lot trickier. I never found an official download source, but I did find an Apple CDN link to what purports to be the 11.6.5 installer on a random website.
