Ability to Disable Dock Notification Envelope
I disabled all notifications and unchecked “Badge app icon”, but the outlook icon still changes to show new email.
This is a defect (NOT an enhancement) violates Apple’s rules about notifications.
What is the plan to resolve this defect?

autodiscover
Outlook 2010 and 2013 for Windows allow whitelisting of redirected autodiscover servers, which will prevent users from being presented with an "Outlook was redirected to the server <server fqdn> to get new settings for your account..." warning. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2480582 An equivalent function in Office 2016 for Mac would be very useful. Personally I would expect to see the list stored in the user's Outlook preferences .plist.

cursor
Hide the mouse cursor while typing... This is standard on the Mac (and has been since the 1980's.) When you type, the mouse pointer goes away, thus preventing it from obscuring the text you are typing.

Command options
When your Exchange mailbox gets wonky, you shouldn't have to log into a Windows machine just to run outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy.
Silly.

Export messages along with their categories
- First, Outlook must have strong and multiple export abilities (so the messages could be imported in Mail or Thunderbird, for instance).
- Secondly, theses exports have to embody the categories of the messages inside the messages.
When you have hundreds of thousands of messages that have been tagged each with one or more categories, it would be good to keep this valuable information. (It is already very painful that Microsoft has wiped our "projects" in a previous update!)

Get closer to the O365 web look and functionality
After all these years where we had to live with Office 2011 I had such high hopes for a real Outlook mail client with modern features and a new interface. Well, we got a revamped interface yes, but still looks a lot like the old 2011 version.
The worst thing missing and completely lacking compared to EVERY OTHER mail client today is an archive button. You even have that on outlook.office365.com.....

Use same codebase for all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.
For once and for all, integrate your code base for Office on all platforms so that they all work the same way (notwithstanding the minor differences that would result due to native OS differences, which are becoming less and less different with every version). This divergent user experience is ridiculous.

Formatting preference to allow more emails to be seen in reading pane
Please create a preference that allows the user to choose whether he/she wants the email sender only only OR email subject only (right not you can only add or remove a message preview). I want to be able to see more emails in the pane instead of having to scroll. This feature exists for the Windows version, please port over to the Mac.

scroll direction
Outlook 2016 does not honor the OS X setting for 'Scroll Direction' found in System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom > Scroll Direction: Natural
I have Scroll Direction: Natural enabled (checked) in my preferences but Outlook does no honor this, instead scrolling in the opposite direction. I consider this a bug, not a feature request, that should be fixed.

Please Make Office 2016 for OSX more friendly for users with vision impairment and disabilities. The Bright WHITE background should be able to be changed so that users can use Outlook with out killing their eyes through out the day.

Better support for dual displays
Outlook 2016 does not remember which display it was last used on. I keep it on my secondary display, but whenever I launch it, it always starts up on the primary display. If Outlook 2016 closes on the secondary display, it should launch there.

Mac OS X Pricing
Outlook on iOS and Android are good mail and calendar alternatives but there's no way I'm going to spend $100 to buy the Mac OS X version. The app needs to be $40 at most. There's way too many great choices that cost less.

Web-Apps Support
We developed several Apps for Outlook which can't be used on Mac right now.
Would be great if you add Web-App (Office-Online Apps) Support.6 votes -
