Put the Favorites Folder in like Outlook2013 PC has
We need the Favorites feature in the list of accounts on the left just like Outlook 2013 for Windows has.

This feature is now available in Production: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/outlookformac/2017/07/11/production-new-sidebar-with-favorites-and-send-later-now-available/

I have a large number of subfolders for storing emails, and at any one time I need about 8 for current topics. The Favorites folder is/was ideal in Outlook (and it has an equivalent in Mail for Mac) so it's unbelievable that it's been deliberately removed. It means that for every email that I want to store in my limited list I have to work down the whole long list of subfolders. The only answer is to rename the current "favorites" so that they appear at the top of the side bar, but then they're out of sequence in my larger list. It's so simple and helpful to keep the old Favorites feature, and so inconvenient now that it's been removed. Outlook should be getting better, not worse. Please reinstate it. Thank you.

This the reason I can't use Outlook for Mac - I have lots of folders, Outlook is useless for me without this feature (and the smart search folders that comes with Outlook for Windows).

This really needs to be implemented. One of the reasons I continue to use Mail on my Mac is the ability to not even rely on a folders list and just have a way to focus on favorites. Future parity is making advances but there are some things that should be there by default.

IT'S NOT A DEBATE - IT'S A NECESSITY. This is not a debate of mac vs pc.
It's an foundational part of Outlook/Microsoft email that many users highly utilize on a day to day basis. These features are available for our users on the web interface or on PC versions but then when they jump over to their mac, they aren't there.
Plain and Simple - This is part of the users configuration of their microsoft email account, this is a microsoft product, therefore this needs to be added to your software on the mac side. Please do so ASAP.

add the feature. Why would MS be so pathetic not to add this very useful tool to the Mac version of their Products.

I need this! So does everyone else I know who use a desktop version of Outlook for Mac.
Also add more font size options to the text in navigation pane.

If this is implemented, please make sure that Smart Folder can be added to the Favorites list....and the Favorites list needs to be at the TOP of the Navigation bar, not at the bottom.

Also it MUST have a number count next to the folder that shows number of unread emails. Shocked that Smart Folder don't have this!

What are the devs at Microsoft thinking? Outlook is useless to me without this feature. I have a dozen imap account that are impossible to manage without a favorites bar.

It seems MS didn't consider to add this feature even in Office 2016. Just bcs of this missing feature I'm not using Outlook in my Mac. Does it make MS happy? It's just a peanut patch to fix for MS.

Fully agree. Seems like a relatively simple fix - I use constantly in the Windows version and this is one of those weird misses for the new Mac version.
