Re: Shared Calendars added to Outlook 2016 not synced to Outlook on Mac Thanks, Julia, I am part of a large organization which just switched to 365 but we are also using the Outlook desktop client for Mac. Microsoft has released a major update for its Outlook Groups iOS app that promises an improved user experience and more collaborative functions for Office 365 users. Want create site? Find and plugins. I just cannot learn to love pages and numbers no matter how hard i try the toolbar on the right drives me nuts i have always loved microsoft office and now find that my 2011 edition is toxic so i am going to buy the new edition of office, i intend to try the 365 version since the apple store has such awful reviews for the boxed version i am curious if users can give me some feedback on their experiences is there a difference between the two versions? Do you love them hate them?? ![]() ![]() Like cars, Microsoft products often get a bonus year added on to their names. Office 2011 for Mac was actually released in October 2010, and, while it was hailed at the time for being a major improvement over its predecessor, lately it’s been showing its age. Since the release of Outlook 2011 for Mac, Apple has released four major versions of Mac OS X, Microsoft released Windows 8 and 8.1, and the Office team released Office 2013—not to mention the many changes and updates to Outlook Web App both for web browsers and mobile devices. What’s in the new Outlook, and how does it stack up against its Windows cousin? Most importantly, what does the future hold for Office on the Mac? Outlook for Mac explained One immediately interesting thing about the new version of Outlook is that it no longer includes a version number or year in its official name. Opening the “About Outlook” dialog reveals that the program’s official name is “Microsoft Outlook for Mac”, and the initially shipped version is labeled as version 15.3. While the rest of Office 2011 is stuck at version 14.x, the next release of Office for Windows (and the related server products, including Exchange) is already being called Wave 16. That raises some interesting questions that I’ll address later. This version of Outlook supports connections using Exchange Web Services (EWS), IMAP, and POP. EWS support means that it can connect to Exchange 2010 SP2 and later (including the Office 365 service), while IMAP support works with Gmail and other cloud services. There’s no support for MAPI over HTTPS, which is not surprising given that the EWS synchronization core in this version is largely based on the core code from Outlook 2011.

Downloading, Installing, and Activating Microsoft released Outlook for Mac to Office 365 subscribers only. The long-standing problem with Office 365’s name is that it applies to two completely separate things: the little box you can buy at your local retailer, which contains a usage key for a subscription that allows you to run Office apps on your computer (the “consumer editions” of Office 365), and the cloud-based service that includes Exchange Online, Lync Online, SharePoint Online, and various other services (usually collectively known as the “commercial editions”). For once, this naming collision isn’t a problem, because whether you bought the Office 365 subscription or are using an Office 365 service plan, you’re entitled to run this version of Outlook. Figuring out whether or not a given person has access to the new Outlook is more confusing than it needs to be, though. The rule is simple: if you have an Office 365 subscription, whether commercial or consumer, that currently includes Outlook, then you can run Outlook for Mac. That means, for example, that my mom (who has a boxed copy of Office 365 Premium from Best Buy) and my eldest son (who’s on my Office 365 Business tenant) both have access, but the users on my test Exchange Online E1 tenant do not—because their subscription doesn’t include Office rights. You download the Outlook client from wherever you got the rest of your Mac Office 2011 bits: either from the Office 365 portal or from your account page at Office365.com. After you download the software, you’ll notice that it’s packaged as a single.pkg file; double-click that file to start the installer. This version of Outlook for Mac installs side-by-side with Outlook 2011 and the rest of the Office 2011 suite, so you don’t have to remove the old version (although there’s no reason to keep the Outlook 2011 app around). If you already had Outlook 2011 installed, Outlook for Mac will import your user account settings and email. However, it will not import mail or settings from an existing setup of Apple’s built-in mail app. Like Office 2013 for Windows, Outlook for Mac has to be activated by signing in to a valid Office 365 account after install, and at least once every 30 days thereafter. This is normally a simple process, but the initial version of Outlook seems to have problems with many configurations of Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS).
