Thank you Microsoft for your powerful tools on 365. It would be great if those features were available to your paying customers on mac 2020.

Match all Features in Outlook Windows version with features in Mac OS version
I have used both Outlook for Mac OS and Windows OS and find that both are totally different in layout, UI and features. It does not make sense for us paying customers to get a watered down version of Outlook on Mac OS.
A lot of small but significant features like Recall, Send/Receive, ability to customize both Views and Ribbon, different color for replies under Stationary & Fonts etc. are missing from MacOS version. These are only a very few of many others which passively make using Outlook easier for many users.

I switched to a Mac recently and to be honest, the Outlook on Windows is light years ahead compared to the Mac version.
I have paid subscription fee for 365 which covers all products on both Mac AND Windows. Shouldn't be that hard to copy the list from Windows to Mac.
In the mean time, I'll go with Spark. -

I went from Windows 10 to Mac because Mirosoft does very bad job at supporting Windows 10. Every single time(!) they release new update they brake Windows 10 and you have to find a workaround to be able to do work with Windows 10. I have "had very bad outcomes because of the Windows 10 bugs, lost a ton of workhours, my free/family time and it was one of the things what drove me to antidepressants. Now Im on a Mac and while Mac is not so reliable as people like to say, it's a ton more reliable than Windows 10. And now I get a new surprise from Microsoft. I cannot even open msg file what was done by Microsoft by the Microsoft's product... How is that possible?! If you try to get people to Windows, but at the same time you make so bad Windows that you drive away people from it. Why don't you make up what you want! If you want people to use Windows 10, then make it reliable so that people wouldn't need to jump to another operating system to save their nerves and mental health. Or if you do not want to send people to use Windows 10 (by the words of Satya Nadella, Microsoft is not interested that much in Windows 10 as it does not earn that much money from it anymore), then make the same features available on Mac as it's on Windows 10!

100% agree. I pushed to upgrade to Office 365 on my Mac as Office 365 was missing so many features compared to my colleagues who have to use PCs. I imagined I was going to get the same features, but I was surprised to find that at least Outlook and Excel 365 for Mac are basically a reskinned version of the 2011 garbage - but with some of the features I relied on removed! I have gone back to using Apple Mail and Apple Calendar and now only open Outlook when I need a public folder. 👎

Pleas add the functionality to use the email-address of a distribution list as sender - send as distribution list.
Should be useful for many users.

Please add the feature to auto dismiss reminders for overdue appointments, and to auto accept meetings if they do not conflict. These are the most useful features on PC outlook IMO

If Microsoft Teams can be in parity between Windows and macOS, then the Office apps should be the same too.

This is so true. Since Outlook for Mac does not support email groups you can not download emails from individual accounts as you can in the Windows version. Makes the product almost worthless

Why Mac Outlook does not have "insert", "design" etc tab which are available in windows version?

Look, at least give us Access. FileMaker has never been a mainstream Apple user database product, and it continues to this day to drift away into oblivion.

You said it well. Second class citizens since the bitter early days of Apple Computer vs. Microsoft. I too am tired of paying a subscription, every year (when I used to pay a couple hundred once every 5 years or so) to constantly not have features my work computer (Windows) office version has.

Would it at all be possible to develop Office apps completely OS independent? It would make sense considering the rise of OSX and Linux.
Not sure though how this would impact the user experience/ performance of such an app. E.g. search performance on a PC is a joke compared to a Mac (and this is a very important feature for me)

100% agree. This goes for all the programmes. It is endlessly frustrating and if I didn't have to use it for work I wouldn't persist. Nothing will induce me to buy a Windows machine.

I need flagging emails, tasks, and the to-do pane to work the same as it does on Windows. I agree with everyone here that the quality of this product is not acceptable. This version of Outlook should be a free beta at best, like many other companies offer when they cant their sh*t together for Mac. We expect more from a MICROSOFT product.

I agree there needs to be feature parity as well as look and feel parity. For example, in the Windows version when you create a new folder in the navigation pane, the list of emails shown in the current folder doesn't change. On the Mac, as soon as you click "New Folder", the current folder changes to the new folder, that has yet to be created.
