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

The "Switch Background" button makes me have to scroll to get to my signatures. Please make this customisable.

Please put back the "MARK UNREAD" button and allow to customize the ribbon.

This was an option in other versions of office (and outlook or even entourage) for a mac. why, why, why does MS keep taking away useful functionality? I have a pc at work (I don't have a choice) and a mac at home and I am so very tired of the two platforms, running the most up to date versions of office being so totally different. I get the differences between Macs' OS and windows but it can't all be attributed to that....

Please put back the "MARK UNREAD" button - that is an essential productivity function that real users reach for dozens of times a day.

I'd also like to see the Outlook ribbon be customizable. I have Outlook on a dual monitor and it's set to a certain width. Because it's not wide enough to show all the standard ribbon buttons, the Read/Unread button gets shoved under "tags" as a drop down option. Yet, I'm forced to look at the "Get Add-ins" and "Insights" buttons which I never use. The Read/Unread shouldn't go away.

Make the tool bar ribbon (icons & text at the top) customizable like in MAC mail. Having the ability to add / remove any icon. Also to display text with icon or icon only. Currently, I can only show or hide the entire ribbon, but when it’s showing, I only use maybe 20% of the icons. 80% of it is just visual noise I have to keep looking at which if find distracting an unhelpful.

As more software providers, including Microsoft, add plug-ins to Outlook, esp, for collaboration, such as calendar and meetings, the task bar is getting overloaded and I need a method to hide/show and order the icons so I can ensure that the important icons are visible when using less than full screen.

This is VERY easy on a PC to customize the ribbon, but ZERO options to customize button order on a Mac. Please fix!

I've got a third-party add-on that literally gets cut off the edge of my screen because there are so many other icons on the ribbon that I never use. Please add ribbon customization to Outlook for Mac as you've done for Word and Excel... it's 2019 and this feature still isn't available!

I would have been able to make Add Signature available on meeting invites had the ribbon been customizable.

Please allow the ribbon in Outlook for Mac 2016 to be able to add "Send an email from Template" and also include the path for the template. Now you have to click on File, New, Send Email from Template, then select the file from the Finder document list. Should be waaaay easier!

Hi. I would LOVE to move the "Send & Receive" ribbon button to the FRONT of the ribbon, close to "Delete" and "Archive" butons. It used to be here....why is such an important and often used button moved to the END of the ribbon?? Let us move it....PLEEEASE??

In collapsed view, Reply/Reply All/Forward is hidden under Respond, while there are dedicated tiles for Switch Background, Send & Receive, Get Add Ins, and Send to OneNote still visible. These others should either be moved or collapse rather than the MOST USED buttons, for crying out loud

I really wish that the "Send/Receive" button could always be furthest to the right of the bar. Having something I don't use (like Send to OneNote) showing up to the right of it makes my most-used UI element a bit harder to find in a mess of things I never use.

Outlook 365 - Office for MAC:
Ribbon featurse from old Outlook (i.e. Office 2016) needs to be incorporated into the new version of Office for Mac.
Personally I am tired of having to learn both a new operating system on both my iMac and my PC and then having to learn different versions of MS Office because of the different platforms. I might as well use Firefox on the PC and Pages on the iMac . . . both being inferior and really different from MS products that I have used in my home and office for over 20 years. -

I simply want to convert an email to an appointment (NOT a meeting!) or convert it to a task. I could do this in 2008 on a PC... but not on a Mac with V16 Outlook. Sigh

Yes, please all ribbon customization of the version for Mac. Customer Manager and Send to OneNote continually reappear even after removing them through the Get add-ins page. What I find most problematic is with all of these extra and unneeded buttons the ribbon defaults to collapse the reply, reply all, and forward buttons in to a dropdown which makes my email work and efficiency much less than having these three options always showing.

I want to eliminate some of the buttons on the ribbon. I never use some and I want to avoid mistakes. Please change.
