Provide an option to create and save a template of emails in Microsoft Outlook 2016
Provide an option to create and save a template folder that can be used to save frequently used e-mails(like emails containing quotes) as template. If needed, you go to your template folder and click on the specific email to send the e-mail off every month after updating it. This saves time and is more productive.
Or incorporate email templates to match more like Word templates. This would include the developer tab options such as fallible fields, drop downs, and maybe auto fill contact info.
Also include a personal save location for outlook templates like in word so you can set a server location that can be shared across accounts.
Also please include a template selector for new emails that is easily accessed. Need flexibility in using templates for custom designs, not ‘ already designed’ to change sizes, design etc. More creative tools.

Allow easy templates to be created and emails to be responded with template, with right click of reply, reply all or reply with template and let the user select the template.

Enable users to create and utilize custom email templates. For example, I would like to be able to create a template to use for appointment reminders for my clients. This would streamline the process and keep me from having to manually type out each reminder. I would like to be able to access my templates from both send mail and when sending calendar invitation mail. This would be a huge time saver.

I send a regular email to a certain group of people, I would like to be able to have a blank email template with the copy list ready to go.

I would like the option of saving an email format as a template, so that I can pull it back up when I need that type of email, instead of writing it from scratch every time.

List templates without the entire template but by the name only.

It would be nice to have the ability to choose user created and defined templates for email that could include background images, text customizable text fields that could import data from a spreadsheet or database, as well as have customized signatures. For example if I had multiple roles or functions within a company, being able to choose a specific template for the role of function that I am sending an email about would be great.

I sent a lot of emails that are generally very similar- is there a way to save a draft of an email like an auto saved response I can copy into a new email for when I have to email similar results out to clients?

I send the same handful of emails (with links and attachments) all day every day. The process to do this is ridiculously laborious. I managed to shorten it a slight bit by adding "choose form" to the ribbon... but there HAS to be a better way!!!

Create multiple email templates that can be accessed quickly under a favorites pane.

For example, on a daily basis we send different load information to one vendor, and other load information to another. However the formatting is always the same (specific data in the header, very similar bodies, resending to the same people on a daily basis, etc)

I think this feature will help various business if you can provide an option to add predefined body content ( similar to signature ) .
Which helps various businesses uses cases, example :- When support team reply for some known error message ( user creation and after that send an update . In this case replies are same to all the users except some specific info) ..Or when management want team to use some communication template while rejecting or accepting some tasks etc ..This feature can be used for various purposes . When typing a new mail , user can select predefined content for that context , adjust it and send it quickly ..
this will save lot of effort and can use for effective way of communication while sending common message to different group with very little customized content -

Modèles de messages
Il faudrait pouvoir créer et accéder dans le menu principal des messages pré-rédigés beaucoup plus facilement. (actuellement je détourne la fonctionnalité "signature" car l'utilisation de modèles est trop compliquée).
Message templates
You should be able to create and access pre-written messages in the main menu much more easily. (currently I divert the "signature" functionality because the use of templates is too complicated).

The new My Templates is great feature but lacking in many ways.
My issue is a customer has had a member of staff put in a lot of time making lots of templates and now they have left the business.
So the customer wanted to reuse these templates for all the other staff.Issue is there is no way to share or backup and restore the templates.
See my discussion about it on the answers forum.

When viewing my outlook templates I would rather just see the title rather than the whole template as it would avoid a lot of scrolling.
I like the feature and it is a huge improvement on the dreaded Quick Parts which are good but impossible to adjust or edit without a lot of digging to get to right place.

I create email templates and save them read-only. I want to open the template, modify it and save-as a customized email until I'm ready to send it but Outlook won't let me save-as the customized email. It will only let me send it.
