If you’re running version 15.32 of Microsoft Outlook for MacOS or lower, and have upgraded to MacOS High Sierra, you will receive an error that says “You can’t use this version of the application “Microsoft Outlook” with this version of MacOS“.
You can fix this problem with these steps.
- Open Microsoft Word, Excel, or another Microsoft application.
- Select “Help” > “Check for updates“.
If you don’t see this option, or if you don’t have an option to update, download and install AutoUpdate. - Walk through the wizard to update Microsoft Applications. You will be able to upgrade Microsoft Outlook.
Once updates are complete, Microsoft Outlook will work in MacOS High Sierra.

Hi, thank you for the info provided. Unfortunately I follow each of the steps indicated, I go through the wizard to update Microsoft Applications (I tried with all of them) but what I am told is that there are no updates available at this time. Where am I wrong?
I also updated and restarted the whole Mac but nothing, Microsoft Outlook still doesn’t work.
Cheers

It worked!!!! in my experience, I opened word, excel and power point.. I was able to do the update from word, and basically the update window showed that all the microsoft applications required upgrade.. in the first attempt and chose all of them (like 3gbs) and it didnt work.. so i started over but in the second opportunity I only chose Outlook (like 900mb) and it worked smoothly!!!
