Add Outlook to Share Menu (Extensions), for Mac
Have Outlook added to the 'share' menu (under Extensions) in System Preferences. It's time-consuming, and annoying to constantly have to drag files to Outlook — as opposed to being able to sending them via Outlook under the 'share' option. This is a must for businesses, that email a lot of attachments. Thanks.

Fix the information included about the original message when replying/forwarding
Fix the function that includes the FROM, DATE, TO, SUBJECT of the original message. Only the date is included, which somehow messes up the grouping by conversation... Outlook will no longer group the emails that are sent without the information of the original message by conversation.

Allow group by subject, sort by date, outside of conversations
I would like to be able to select: arrange by subject, newest on top, show in groups. This would work just like arrange by conversations, newest on top, show in group, except it would work for messages that have the same subject but are not in a conversation.
Here's the use case: my corp wiki sends me a message whenever a page I'm watching is updated. There's a lot of these. The subject is always: "[Wiki] title-of-the-page-that-was-updated". So when someone saves frequently while working on a page I get a lot of messages with the same subject, but they are…

Fix quoting for HTML and plain text replies.
Outlook for Mac has been hobbled for some time by not providing proper quoting for plaintext (internet-standard > prefixing) and by having HTML quoting styles that don't support in-line replies. Windows Outlook supports both, PLEASE fix!

Have the ability to disable autocomplete
We need to be able to disable autocomplete like we can (and do) via GPO on Outlook for Windows. Many people are erroneously sending mail to "no-reply@sharepoint.com" or other such addresses because the displayname they are looking for is being auto-completed based on a received note that is not meant to be replied to. There is an equivalent request on the consumer uservoice here: https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/293343-outlook-for-mac/suggestions/18770335-have-the-ability-to-disable-autocomplete-feature-f

Remove "From" field or remove send-as list
When you add a shared calendar to Outlook 2016, the calendar/person also appears in the "From" dropdown menu when composing a new email. This is confusing for many users.

search
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…

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

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).
