Please reinstate the quick refinements for "from:", "to:" and "contains:" to be added to keywords entered into the search box in Outlook for Mac 2016.
The new predictive algorithm and search suggestions don't work for me at all – sometimes I need to find emails "from X", sometimes I need the ones sent "to X" and sometimes I want emails that "contain X" where X is a person's name, a company, or a product.
The previous refinements made it fast to find emails and switch the filtering. The new way involves multiple clicks, or setting up saved searches – it's so much…

Calendar and task-list in main-screen of outlook
At the moment calendar and task-list just can be used in separate screens. It would be very useful to implement both features (calendar & task-list) in the main screen of outlook, where mail view and folder structure is located. Windows-version of outlook already delivers this function by a so called "popup"-function, so please make it possible for mac-users, too. thanks.

Allow users to HIDE emails in inbox until a pre-scheduled date, when they would re-appear with red flag at top of inbox
In my experience most users use the Inbox as a "messy to do list" - they scan up and down the list of hundreds of mails every day to spot things they need to follow up on - very inefficient and a major contributor to the "email overload" feeling.
It would be great if I could click on a "calendar" icon on my email and schedule a future date at which the email would re-appear at the top on my inbox flagged with a special "for action" flag - so I knew it was something that I needed to follow…

Hovering over a safelink in Outlook for Mac should show the domain like in webmail and Windows Outlook
The ONLY reason we haven't enabled Safelinks is because the URL's are unreadable when you hover over them on a Mac. Webmail and Windows now show a message that displays the proper domain on hover, why is this taking so long for Mac?!?

Have parity between Office for Mac for 2015/2016 and Office 365 for Mac
there are so many features that are not allowed or permitted unless you have a subscription with 365, please note that for a business user it was the same product at point of purchase. its bad customer experience to reach out to support and be told everytime that x,y, or z comes only with subscription. i have 2 licenses i dont need as it seems that you have created artifical barriers to customers utilising the suite tool fully. It also sad to note that your skype for business mac is poor version of other variants. This whole office for mac…

I'd like to see a "Translate" feature built into Outlook mail / Calendar
When I get an email from an international colleague, I have to manually translate using a translation service. In Word and Excel there are translate features built right in to the desktop applications. Could an translation feature be baked into the Outlook client? It would be important for business adoption to not log all the contents of mail messages being translated.

Disable recent addresses function in Outlook for Mac 2016
Please enable the ability for users to disable the recent addresses function in Outlook for MAC 2016. Users receive automated emails with a noreply address from a user within a tool and since it's in the list of recently used addresses for that user it's selected by mistake and they get a bounce-back message. The list also becomes unusable over time.

Font Preference stick after updates
My default fonts for mail set in Preferences revert back to Calibri after every auto update. Is this a bug or standard? Can we find a way to stop this annoying behaviour. Thanks

Show folder where messages are stored when producing the list of messages after a Search
I have a large email collection arranged in a complex hierarchy of folders, both on the server and on my computer. I would find it very useful to tell where each message is stored when I look at the result of a search on all available email folders. Sometimes I am just looking to see if some messages are lost in the wrong folder...

Add a "Paste as Quote" or "Copy as Quote" feature
Sometimes we need to quote from one email to send to someone else. Give me an option to copy or paste as a quote so the quote indent and attribution follow the text, rather than trying to either make that manually, or to create a reply then copy that into a new message (eg when trying to collect separate quotes from separate responses into one message).

Improve room and time change visibility on updated meetings
When a meeting is updated with a time or room change either a) highlight or b) add context around, whether the time was changed (context: previous time) and/or the room was changed (context: previous room). Problem: when meetings are updated— especially last minute updates or recurring meetings—it is easy for people to miss exactly what changed and cause confusion.

Sign Druide Antidote connector for Outlook for Mac
We use a 3rd party spelling checker from Druide Informatique called Antidote for Outlook for Mac. Since moving to macOS 10.14 Mojave, the checker is broken. It still works with other applications such as Word, but not Outlook. Our information suggests that Apple introduced security features in macOS that are to blame. We see two options: (a) Microsoft “signs” the Antidote connector for Outlook or (b) Microsoft publishes a new API to be consumed by 3rd parties such as Druide Informatique. Will Microsoft consider either of these options?
