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…

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.

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).

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…

Allow email accounts to be reordered to my liking rather than having them in alphabetical order with no way to arrange them.
In outlook for windows you can drag and drop the email accounts to reorder them however you like. I would like to see this functionality in outlook for mac as well.

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…

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 -

Joining online meeting from the notification (Skype or Teams) directly opens the meeting in the app
A meeting notification contains a "Join Online" button when the meeting has either a Skype or Teams meeting linked to the item. Clicking on this button currently opens the browser. Clicking on this button should instead start the meeting in the appropriate app (Skype or Teams). Like it does on Windows.

Improve search feature 'quick suggestions' behavior
The 'Quick Suggestion' search feature will offer to search for emails from a certain contact when you start typing a contact name.
This is great, but:
1. right now when selecting such a Quick Suggestion this results in a "from: firstname lastname" search
2. search results in this case will not show all emails coming from this person
3. manually seaching (not using quick suggestion) for "from: firstname.lastname@emaildomain.com" do show all emails coming from this personIt would be more intuitive that a Quick Suggestion to search for the emails of a certain person will produce search results that…

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.

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...
