Customize the ribbon
The ribbon can be customised in Word, but not in Outlook. For instance, the placement of addin could be chosen (e.g. webex, which is working fine, by the way), or the very bad placement of the "send and receive" is dramatic

Please stop adding useless buttons at the top level in favor of condensing much more often used buttons. Why have a "Switch Background" or "Get Add-Ins" button at the top level when the Reply and Move buttons get pushed down a level. PLEASE MAKE THE RIBBON CUSTOMIZABLE!! And stop adding buttons that should be elsewhere.
- Thank you. -

With the addition of the completely unnecessary 'Switch Background' button in the ribbon (this should be in preferences) and due to the fact that outlook is only using half of my screen the reply buttons are now condensed under Respond which is terrible UI. That's the only buttons I need and now they are hidden.
Please let the ribbon be customizable.

The latest version of Outlook for Mac has made the ribbon less conducive to productivity. Requiring common features such as replying to an email to utilize a submenu. Please allow the capability to customize the ribbon to remove unnecessary items like Get Add-Ins and maintain core features like replying to email.

Why Microsoft doesn't allow ribbon customization in Outlook on Mac is just incomprehensible. My Zoom meeting plug-in is all the way to the right and is not usable. There are a handful of totally useless and garbage icons on the Outlook ribbon in macOS that I can't seem to be able to remove, or even reposition. ಠ_ಠ

You should enable ribbon customization in Outlook for Mac 2019 like the Windows version. This is a serious no-brainer. Why you continue to insist on crippling the Mac versions of your software is beyond me. Suggestion boxes are nice but you need to treat both versions of your product equally, instead of constantly favouring the windows version. -

Just get this done already! Some buttons I never use; others I use all the time but they are not in convenience locations. Slows me down, irritating, and Outlook for Mac should offer such a basic feature just on principle!!!

I would also prefer to use a mail client with easier access to the functionality that I use on a more regular basis.

Please let us add and remove the buttons we use the most on the ribbon bar! You keep adding new things to the ribbon and I now have to make the email window so large to get to the ones I need it is taking up half my screen. Why do you have to have the Customer Manager, Insights, Send to OneNote, Get Add-ins buttons so large. I don't get it.

In this context and looking at all Microsoft products (PC or Mac) we users request these kind of features because designers at Microsoft waste so much real state on empty space all over the window frame that icons won't fit, users are forced to magnify in order to work comfortably or to acquire wider screens.

I'll never get why the ribbon takes up so much screen real state. Besides the option to customize which buttons should be in the ribbon, we should also get an option for it to show smaller buttons.

OMG! I totally agree! Why can't we customize the ribbon? Or, at the very least, let us prioritize the things that disappear as the window shrinks. How often do you really use "Get Add-lns"? That one seems to stick around a lot. Really? Or "Send to OneNote"; I don't even use OneNote! Please, help us!
