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.15 votes -

Teams online status disappeared
The actual Teams status e.g. of an internal email recipient doesn't show up anymore. All user appear as offline now. I guess this is a bug to be fixed.

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 🙁

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…

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.2 votes -

List conditions for displaying the "New Outloook" switch. I'm on 16.33 (19112700) and don't have the option.
I'm on insiders fast, on Outlook version 16.33 (1911270) on Catalina 10.15.2, and there's no New Outlook switch, and the option isn't in "Help" either. If there conditions in which it's not available, that would have been good to know before updating to insiders fast.

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.

Mini view
Be able to reduce the whole window to a single pane view listing last 5 emails, next 3 calendar appointments, and month calendar view. Kind of like the right calendar strip with minimized emails at the top

Need more customization of column widths
Right now all the panes are quite large. Right now I pretty much have to use Outlook full screen if I want to get the folder list, message list, message body, and My Day all on the screen without having to do a ton of scrolling left and right on the message. Not sure if this should be fixed with the ability to change the font size in the folder list, auto-resize the calendar widget as we shrink the column size, a combination of those, something.

Junk Email Reading Pane
Option to make it permanent. Why does it go away?
It's a pain to have to enable this every time I want to look at junk messages. Should behave as the other folders.1 vote
