Add a Project Management Feature
Create Add Project (similar to a task) that users can create/add tasks to.... either "User defined" tasks or "emails" flagged as tasks.
I suspect there are a lot of users who would pay for this addition.
Collaboration feature would be great. Like combining MS Teams with Outlook3 votes -
Switching Identities in Outlook 2016 mac
Can we please have access to the separate identities in Outlook, the same way Entourage used to? At start up you had a small menu giving the choice which identity you wanted to see. Then if you wished to change identities again, there was a 'switch identity' button under the 'file' menu that brought up the same small menu.
Having to go through the outlook profile manager to reset the outlook default identity every time is very inconvenient!

collaborative tasks
I am quite puzzled that it seems to be impossible at Outlook for Mac (v 15.41) to collaborate on tasks or even only display tasks sent from other Outlook users (using the PC version).

after updating task it moves to next
In the task list, when I update a category or followup date, it automatically moves it to the next task. I don't want it to move forward until I'm done updating multiple items on the task. I keep having to click back on the task.

Ability to Group Tasks like in the Windows version. Currently all you can do is sort by a field.
Just need to be able to group, expand/collapse the tasks list like you can in the Windows version. As soon as you get past a screen full you can't manage the list properly.

Bring Task Details tab to tasks in Outlook for Mac
Feature already exists for the Windows Outlook client. Frustrating for those of us who use both operating systems in the course of our business day to have some features available to us only on a given OS.

Fix recurring tasks bug
Recently I have encountered a problem with recurring tasks.
Asked I complete the task one day and it re-sets for the next occurrence the due date and reminder date won't be the same. For some reason the reminder date seems to jump to a different date and not correspond with the due date.
EG. I have a recurring task every day of the week. I mark it done on Monday but then the dates will jump to say Thursday and it would be missed on the other days yet the setup is to happen every day? It's extremely annoying as…7 votes -

As with Outlook 2013 the Task object to include “% Complete” followed by a spin box with the default value of 0%. This can be edited to any value we find useful
This field is then available within Column Chooser when viewing tasks and is available for sorting and grouping.For me I group by completion and then sort within the group. It has been a great help in managing my task lists. ATM I have a small Windows notebook with Outlook open for my task lists at the office sitting alongside my iMac as we are an Apple house…

Drag and Drop email to create new item
On the Windows based version of Outlook, you can drag and drop emails to either the calendar, tasks, or contacts to create new items. The subject of the email becomes the calendar or task subject and the body of the email goes in the notes field.
Bring this functionality to the Mac version so that drag and dropping of emails works to other areas of Outlook.43 votesThis was released with version 15.35

Add the ability to copy the task list for pasting in another program
In Outlook for Windows, you can select multiple Tasks in the Task List, click Copy, then paste the list into another tool (e.g. Excel). Doing this is really handy for quickly generating a list of tasks to save or send elsewhere.
