Problem = show_in_navigation_pane column in Edit_Categories dialogue is not visible

column widths for category_name is too wide. This moves show_in_navigation_pane too far to right.

No right-left scroll tool available to see additional column in Edit_Categories dialogue for Mac Outlook

The default column widths for the Preferences > Edit_Categories has the default width of the category_name column set to be approximately 100 percent of the width of the dialogue category selector.

Because there is no horizontal slider as there would be in the Windows version of the category_edit dialogue, the three columns the default width of the category_name column being defaulted the full width (100 percent) of the selection list means that the user must adjust the column widths to reveal the show_in_navigation_pane. column.

Description of problem for the Windows version and Work-around is hinted at by this article:

Procedure to replicate:

1. Default install of Outlook 2016 Mac
2. Preferences > Categories
3. Observe only two visible columns in edit display: color, category_name
4. Observe category_name sort order arrow is NOT visible
5. Cannot view show_in_navigation_pane column
7. Cannot scroll right in selection list (no scroll slider)
8. Cannot check / un-check show_in_navigation_pane options

Work-around:

1. Default install of Outlook 2016 Mac
2. Preferences > Categories
3. Observe only two visible columns in edit display: color, category_name
4. Hover over right edge of color column header divider
5. Left click and hold column header divider and drag left to compress color column width to zero or near zero
6. Name column sort order arrow now appears at right edge
7. Hover over right edge of category_name column header divider
8. Left click and hold column header divider and drag left to compress category_name column
9. Show_in_Navigation_Pane column appears at right
10. Categories can now be checked and un-checked to be shown in navigation pane

color = 15 percent of full width
category_name = 50 percent of full width
show_in_navigation_pane = 35 percent of full width

Office 365 For Mac should have the same features available that PC users get. You are paying for a half built product and this simply isn't good enough. I would like to be able to swap over from Google Docs but I am seriously looking at cancelling my office 365 subscription and going back to using Gmail / Calendar and Google Docs directly as there really isn't any point me using office 365 for Mac. It is as though Microsoft purposely want to focus on a product for their PC customers. If you made the product equal to that available to your PC customers then I will be happy.

Implement offline data file functionality on macOS similar to windows.

If I ask myself what sets apart outlook from macOS mail, it is the way offline data handling is implemented in outlook. Once you are used to the convenience of using .PST files you are hooked to Outlook for the rest of your life.

Which makes me wonder why it is implemented so differently on macOS. if one has to settle for anything less, then one might as well use the native mail app on macOS and steer clear of Outlook altogether.

I would love to get the .pst functionality and convenience on outlook for Mac.

Outlook for Mac, Version 16.22

In the main window, where all the mails are listed be it Inbox, Sent, Deleted Items or any folders; at the bottom of the frame, the border line is fat compared to any other frames. This error is constantly seen when we click on any folders.

Another error I noticed is, when I expand Outlook in "full screen mode", the bottom grey status bar changes completely. It has some kind of dark embossed shade of lines (long dotted lines). This is the status bar that shows - Items: 21; All folders are up to date; Connected to: <Company Name>. During the full screen mode, it does not show "Connected to: <Company Name> as well". This status bar can look same as it appears in normal mode.
