The CPU activity showed that Outlook was using approx.CPU. After 5 days I removed MS Office completely and reinstalled it without updating to SP2 and everything was fine again.
Then some days later, when the fix was released for SP2 (14.2.1), I again installed it, and then the problem of excessive noise and overheating has resumed. Then, to my dismay, my MBP stopped working altogether Apple Support advised me to return it to the dealer, who found that a cable to the hard-disk was burned out they replaced it within a day and I got my MBP back intact. I tried your suggestion for a SMC reset, but the CPU hyperactivity, the overheating, and the noisy fan persist whenever I try to run Outlook (not otherwise). Outlook 15.31 High Cpu Usage Mac OS X Snow LeopardOutlook 15.31 High Cpu Usage Mac OS X SnowI run Outlook for Mac, mainly on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and occasionally on a MacBook Air running Mac OS X Lion, but havent had this issue. This makes the Mac hot, and in a laptop depletes the battery quickly. Youre on update 14.2.1; theres a newer version available: Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac 14.2.2 Update. I doubt this will help you. This high CPU usage issue seems to related to the Contact management features of Outlook. Mac Mail will certainly work well for POP and IMAP email accounts. It does have support for MS Exchange email accounts; I havent tried this myself. Outlook 15.31 High Cpu Usage Upgrade Fixes ThePlease comment below to let us know if the upgrade fixes the issue for you. Im running Outlook in combination with a corporate Exchange server. The high CPU usage occurs as soon as I open a contact out of my LOCAL contacts (either through the contacts or right-clicking the contact in an email to open it up). As soon as I close the contact window the CPU usage goes back to normal. Hope this helps some of you its a weird behavior but reproduces consistently on my MacBook Air (using the activity monitor). So I will just continue to use Apple Mail, which works fine (despite slightly lower functionality than Outlook). Definitely fixed my problem, periodic 100 CPU utilisation (about 20 seconds every 3-4 mins). Rebuilt the index (hold option key and open outlook) and I have gone from 60 100 CPU with fan screaming to around 2 CPU. I have upgraded to this latest version, rebuilt my database and deleted emails but still have the problem. Ive noticed that it CONTINUOUSLY says This folder is up to date. My schedule indicates it should only check for new mail every 5 minutes but it seems to be checking continuously all the time.
