Support for O365 Add-Ins
These are 3 ideas, so we will be splitting them.
Outlook for Mac PM TeamBullet #2 is talking about O365 add-ins which is currently being worked on.
--- Original description below ---
1) remove the "my day" as the default right column in the calendar view. This is redundant.2) Please include the other old ribbon options in the new toolbar that enterprises may have installed such as "reply with meeting poll" "send recognition", "report email" (used in corp environments for phishing, etc).
3) As many have requested for years, please add the ability for Mac users to reply…

Easy was to toggle Sidebar
There is no easy way to toggle the Sidebar, when extended/open, you need to go to the view menu but once collapsed/closed. there's a nice icon to extend it again.
This icon should always be visible to the user.35 votes -

Support of MAC standard keyboard shortcuts
On MacOS you've standardised keystrokes when moving the cursor or editing text. It's very inefficient and distracting, that Outlook is not following this standard.
One example:
System wide you can use Ctrl-a to jump to the beginning of a line
In Outlook it selects all text. -> Very problematic for people who can write fast.9 votes -
Add custom keyboard shortcuts
The ability to customise or use other keyboard shortcut schemes (e.g. Gmail) on the web app makes it 2x faster to process email. Please bring it to the desktop app!

New message, meeting should be in toolbar like in web client
New message, meeting should be in toolbar like in web client (these things should really be consistent).. it's much better to put all operation in the toolbar instead of randomly splitting this one off and segregating it by itself in the blue area... took me 5-10mins to find it 🙁

Use the "What's New" feature
Trying the new outlook for Mac is great, yet I don't know what new features have been added when updates occur. There is already a "what's new" item in the Help menu, yet it never says anything.

Unify the look of the sidebar on Mac and iOS.
Pls apply the same design on the mac app's sidebar as it's already seen on the iOS and iPad OS app versions.
But it's already designed and shared with the public around 2 years ago:

Allow me to resize My Day to be narrower (meaning smaller/no margins)
My Day is useful but takes up too much space away from the reading pane and message list. Please allow me to resize My Day so that its left and right margins are tiny or non-existent. Currently the mandatory large margins take up about 4% of the total horizontal real estate of Outlook, and 22% of My Day. Instead of paying a 4% real estate tax on empty space, I'd prefer to make my reading pane 7%-10% wider which would mean less scrolling and improved productivity.
It's OK if the default margins are big like today, but if I opt…

Make new outlook experience available to non-365 users
Some of us use Office 2019 provided by our employers, but are not currently on Office 365. Would like to be able to test new features and provide feedback.. even with Fast Insider channel, the updates for the new experience are not available.
Thanks.

Automate My Day View
Love the new MyDay but would be even better if in Day View an empty day auto closed the panel and visa-versa.
