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

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.

Its a right pain that frequently used tools are of the screen on the right end of the ribbon and rarely used ones in prime positions. It really needs the ability to customise the order of buttons but from teh comments here no-one's listening.

Since this is a Mac program it should follow the standard convention of right clicking on the toolbar and having a "customize toolbar" menu.

Three years later and this is still a problem? Please at the very least make it one click to make messages read/unread. What a disaster. It's like they never bothered to even allow anyone to test this before changing it...

Please allow us to customize the "customized tool bar" in Outlook.

With the new additions of dark mode buttons, but ribbon truncates all the 'tags'. This means I have to use 2 clicks just to mark an email 'unread' instead of 1 click. This is so frustrating.

Much needed! The ribbon is filled with icons I never use. And when the size of my window is slightly smaller on my screen, the ribbon hides the "Read/Unread" button. A button that I use most of the time. Totally useless buttons like Insights and Get Add-ins are there though.

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.
