How To Download Outlook Client On Mac

Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac is out! As of July 9, 2015, subscribers to Microsoft Office 365 can use the brand new Office 2016 for Mac suite. Seven updates had been already released since the preview version in March, bringing more stability and performance to this release.

Having trouble with Outlook? Don’t worry, most issues can be easily resolved once you know how. Check out this guide to learn more.

If you’re not a Microsoft Office 365 customer, you’ll have to wait some time before you can take advantage of Office 2016 for Mac by downloading it from Sherweb’s Control Panel. While we’re busy working on the new release, this is an opportunity to highlight the great features of the Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac client. Perhaps you’ve never used it? We know you have a wide choice when it comes to accessing your emails on a Mac OS X computer. But to get the most of Exchange 2013 on your Mac, especially if you’re in a corporate environment, you have to use a tool that integrates as seamlessly as possible with your Mac OS X and gives you access to most of the email service features. Mail is the native email app for the operating system, but if you had to use it before, you know it doesn’t have the organizational functions and features that are useful in business! You need the right tool that accommodates both long-time Mac users and Windows users that are shifting to Mac.

  1. How to 1) Log into the Control Panel. 2) Click on Downloads, located in the Organization section under Tasks. 3) Select the program you wish to download, the language, and then click on Download.
  2. Note The Outlook Preferences file doesn't contain all the preferences for the application. Also, resetting Outlook preferences doesn't remove email messages or account settings. How to use the tool. Download and open the Outlook Reset Preferences tool. Click the Reset Now! This closes Outlook if it's open, and then resets the.

That tool is Microsoft Outlook for Mac. The 2011 version was released as a totally new product for Mac OS X users, superseding the former Microsoft Entourage 2008 application. As part of the Office 2011 suite, it came with a new layout. While, it didn’t totally replicate what was then the new Microsoft Outlook 2010 for Windows, it was made to embed itself more tightly with Mac OS X.

For instance, you can use the built-in Mac OS X backup feature – Time Machine – to backup Outlook 2011 with a noticeable difference in performance. Backups are fast thanks to the local email structure in the background: each email item is a separate file.

With Outlook 2011, you can register different accounts (any POP3/IMAP, AOL, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail or Yahoo mailbox) along with your Exchange 2013 account, under one single identity. Moreover, the mailbox consolidation feature helps you group similar folders, such as inboxes from the different accounts so they appear under one single view. You can easily keep track of all your mailboxes.

The Ribbon, located along the border in top of the window, is the feature that comes from the Outlook 2010/2013 concept. It displays possible actions for a selected item or functionality (mail, calendar, task, contact) and of course, the Mac-style menu is still available.

The Ribbon offers three groups of commands in tabs inside the main window: Home, Organize and Tools. Clicking on the field at the top-right of the window makes a fourth tab appear. The Search tab helps create complex searches with a variety of criteria.

Outlook 2011 will allow you to use one master category list, importing categories from Mac right inside your mailbox.

Contacts, calendar and tasks from Outlook 2011 can still be viewed at a glance when the application is closed, through the standalone My Day app. From Outlook, you can open a set My Day to automatically be launched at the computer start. From My Day, you can create new task items.

Compared to Entourage 2008, editing HTML emails is flawless. Forwarding or replying to an HTML message does not alter its global layout. By default, HTML mode is activated when editing a new email. You can switch to plain mode in a simple click.

Are you using Lync? You may take advantage of the Lync-Exchange integration with presence information right into your mailbox. See availability status and even start a conversation in Lync 2011 for Mac right from your mailbox in Outlook 2011.

Note all the tips above are excerpts of the functionalities you get with your mailbox in Outlook 2011.

Problem resolution for Mac Users under Microsoft Outlook 2011

Because you get unlimited storage for your Hosted Exchange 2013 accounts with Sherweb, the number of items to be synced with the identity on your Mac computer can be high. To avoid issues linked with synchronization, like database corruption, here are a few tips. Follow them to keep your Exchange identity healthy on Mac.

Email Structure

You may have created folders, subfolders and rules to automatically organize your emails. Outlook will behave better if you create your folders right on top of the mailbox, not under default folders like Inbox or Sent Items.

Note: in this picture, the Daily Requests folder is not nested under Inbox. This is the recommended structure.

To create or move folders at the top of the structure, use Outlook Web App (OWA). Of course any changes made in this web interface are replicated straight inside Outlook 2011.

Moving items

Do not move a huge amount of items directly in Outlook 2011. Chances are high that the application will freeze. To move five or ten emails, you can keep using Outlook 2011. But for dozens or hundreds, use OWA instead.

Synchronization issues

You many notice discrepancies between your Exchange local identity and your mailbox’s contents in OWA (in the server). These are signs that the synchronization with Outlook 2011 is no longer working properly. First, try to force a resync by reloading the cache. If this does not solve the issue, save troubleshooting time, backup Outlook 2011 and rebuild your identity on the Mac computer.

You’re all set for a better experience on your Mac computer… until you get the new Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac client!

Authentication requirements

The Teams Meeting add-in requires users to sign in to Teams using Modern Authentication. If users do not use this method to sign in, they'll still be able to use the Teams client, but will be unable to schedule Teams online meetings using the Outlook add-in. You can fix this by doing one of the following:

  • If Modern Authentication is not configured for your organization, you should configure Modern Authentication.
  • If Modern Authentication is configured, but they canceled out on the dialog box, you should instruct users to sign in again using multi-factor authentication.

To learn more about how to configure authentication, see Identity models and authentication in Microsoft Teams.

Enable private meetings

Allow scheduling for private meetings must be enabled in the Microsoft Teams admin center for the add-in to get deployed. In the admin center, go to Meetings > Meeting Policies, and in the General section, toggle Allow scheduling private meetings to On.)

The Teams client installs the correct add-in by determining if users need the 32-bit or 64-bit version.

Note

Users might need to restart Outlook after an installation or upgrade of Teams to get the latest add-in.​

Teams upgrade policy and the Teams Meeting add-in for Outlook

Customers can choose their upgrade journey from Skype for Business to Teams. Tenant admins can use the Teams co-existence mode to define this journey for their users. Tenant admins have the option to enable users to use Teams alongside Skype for Business (Islands mode).

When users who are in Island mode schedule a meeting in Outlook, they typically expect to be able to choose whether to schedule a Skype for Business or a Teams meeting. In Outlook on the web, Outlook Windows, and Outlook Mac, users see both Skype for Business and Teams add-ins when in Islands mode by default. You can configure a Teams meeting policy setting to control whether users in Islands mode can only use the Teams Meeting add-in or both the Teams Meeting and Skype for Business Meeting add-ins.

Due to certain limitations in the initial release, Outlook mobile can only support creating Skype for Business or Teams meetings. See the following table for details.

Coexistence mode in the Teams admin centerDefault meetings provider in Outlook mobile

Set whether users in Islands mode can only use the Teams Meeting add-in or both the Teams Meeting and Skype for Business Meeting add-ins

As an admin, you can configure a Teams meeting policy setting to control which Outlook meeting add-in is used for users who are in Islands mode. You can specify whether users can only use the Teams Meeting add-in or both the Teams Meeting and Skype for Business Meeting add-ins to schedule meetings in Outlook.

You can only apply this policy to users who are in Islands mode and have the AllowOutlookAddIn parameter set to True in their Teams meeting policy. For steps on how to set this policy, see set the meeting provider for users in Islands mode.

Other considerations

The Teams Meeting add-in is still building functionality, so be aware of the following:

  • The Teams Meeting add-in requires an Exchange mailbox for the primary user scheduling the meeting. Ensure that you have at least one Exchange mailbox configured in your Outlook profile and use it to schedule Teams meetings with the add-in. For Exchange requirements, see How Exchange and Teams interact.
  • The add-in is for scheduled meetings with specific participants, not for meetings in a channel. Channel meetings must be scheduled from within Teams.
  • The add-in will not work if an Authentication Proxy is in the network path of the user's PC and Teams Services.
  • Users can't schedule live events from within Outlook. Go to Teams to schedule live events. For more information, see What are Microsoft Teams live events?.
