Please add the ability to import and export contacts in Outlook for Mac. It'd be great if the formats that one could import and export contacts to were the same as the options on Outlook on Windows. This would make it easy to transition back and forth, particularly for folks who are switching platforms for work.

Allow the Mac calendar, address and notes to sync with Outlook 2016 and also bring back the sync service icon in preference

get a de-duplication tool for contacts

Please add support for contact distribution lists for Exchange accounts. Outlook for Mac does not recognize the distribution lists I have available in Outlook Web App.

Please add the functionality to sync Outlook Contacts to the Mac Address Book. This functionality used to exist in Entourage, but is more important now than ever for compatibility with Intune Conditional Access.

I know this syncing was removed because Apple deprecated iSync.

This functionality should ideally support wiping downloaded contacts in the event that Outlook is wiped by MDM.

Outlook for Windows and Outlook Web Access support locally stored distribution lists. This is not supported by Outlook for Mac even with the new Version. Please add this functionality to be compatible!

be able to import contacts from the Mac Contacts app to Outlook directly

Be able to change the order of first name and last name in the "Name" field in Contact list to support other countries' name conventions

It takes too many clicks to see relavant information for a given contact, improve this!

With the PC version, you can create a new contact from an existing one by select something like New Contact for Same Company and it fills in the address and company name so you can just quickly add details for that person.

Please find a way to sync my icloud contacts to Outlook as I really want to stop using apple mail

Put the categories back in the sidebar! Why on earth would you take that feature away? Now I can't view contacts or calendar by category, rendering the categories essentially useless.

Now that Microsoft owns Linkedin, it would be extremely helpful if Outlook was the primary sync point for all contact information. Within the notes section, place a summary of the positions held from the Linkedin profile. Synchronizing contact information and keeping profile info in one spot would make looking up contacts with specific skills, job titles, backgrounds, companies, etc much easier. Plus, making it perform the sync in the background would help keep contacts fresh.

Turn on SharePoint Connect to Outlook. We have a phone book in SharePoint but I have to sign Mac users into Outlook on a windows PC that they don't have to get updates. Also doesn't work well in Virtual Machine (VMFusion)

Currently the circular icons with initials of your contacts are randomly assigned a colour. It would be useful if the colours could be assigned by the user so that e.g. Bob Scott who works for Yellow Cabs is yellow and Bill Smith who works for Brown's Brewery is brown, and not randomly the opposite or some other irrelevant colour. That way you could associate the right BS with the right person or company.

Have the option to remove auto complete for emails. It's remembering all email addresses of emails received and sent and no need to have junk mail remembered! It's also duplicating email addresses and creating new contact cards even though the contact's email is in their card.

Make it easy to import multiple vcf contacts to outlook.

Suggest Outlook Contact section look a lot more like that of Outlook for Windows. It was a big disappointment to move to the Mac.

I cannot see all of the contacts on our public exchange server. What happened to the Global Address list function?
