Missed feature in Outlook for Mac - assign a task to a co-worker

Hi all in the community.

Definition AND ALLOCATION of tasks (given) to a co-worker, since it is a standard in Outlook functionality when used in a Windows environment, is obviously unavailable in Office for Mac. Which is a huge shame as this feature is very useful for loads of work to do in teams...

M$ support says that this isn't in Office for Mac because Apple has refused to grant the necessary rights to their end to establish this use case.

Is it perhaps someone in the community who has already come up with a clever work around to get this function in place?

Product: Office (Outlook) for Mac, rel 15.18, running on Mac computers

Thank you 1 million for all the tips and best regards,

Thomas

  • Outlook for Mac 2016 Question - not color the backgrounds of emails - no response from MS

    Can I add background color to an e-mail message in outlook 2016 for mac? As a solid green or yellow, for example? I can't in 2011 using the tab options. Which is available in 2016 to Outlook for Mac?

    No indication of support for MS and Google comes to nothing... Maybe some poor soul like me uses MS Outlook 2016 and knows.

    I'm still in 2011 (as part of 365) but have a client who pays me a lot of $$$ but is visually impaired and needs a dark background and a red font. Don't want to upgrade until I know the answer.

    Any response - mucho appreciated!

  • 2016 Outlook for mac

    I bought MS Office with Outlook for Mac 2016.  Outlook is so slow and takes forever to load a message or to move from one to the other.   It maintains give up connection too and it makes me crazy.  He sends empty messages, even if the message is not empty, it takes ages to load a message before you send it.

    No one knows what to do.  Operating system is El Capitan 27 ".  It's a nightmare

    S

    Make sure that you run Microsoft Autoupdate and apply all the patches that are available. I had no problem with office 2016.

  • Outlook for Mac, anti-SPAM, but not on iPhone or webmail

    I have a Macbook Air running Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2015 (version 15.24).  I have several e-mail accounts managed by Outlook.  I often get emails from spam/spam in Outlook, but the spam/junk e-mail does not appear on my iPhone or webmail interface (in all including unwanted folders, inbox etc..)  It only appears in Outlook.  And lately the frequency and the number has increased.  I ran several anti-spam, adware, spyware, programs etc, but no luck finding anything.  Any ideas on what I can do?

    First, determine what email account spam comes in. Chances are that it is a story that is not configured on your phone or is configured as a POP3 account, resulting in messages being deleted from the server once downloaded by Outlook.

    Then see what kind of this e-mail provider of server-based spam filtering offers.

  • iPad mail compatibility with Outlook for Mac 2016

  • 2016 Outlook for Mac, send emails more fails

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    With Outlook 2016 on my Macbook Pro, I'm not able to send more than about 10 MB of attachments.  The program accepts multiple attachments of any size, but the transmission fails after trying for about 5 Min.  I get an error message (sorry, my OS is installed with the German):

    "Ein auf dem Server ausgefuhrter wurde abgebrochen procedure.  Server der ist possibly hydraulic, die Serververbindung wurde abgebrochen, oder das Netzwerk ist ausgelastet. "(A process on the server has been abandoned.  The server may be overloaded, maybe the connection to the server was interrupted or the network is overloaded).

    Then "Senden der nicht possible Email." (Cannot send email.)

    Then: Fehlercode:-1001.  (Error code - 1001).

    I can receive emails with attachments of any size; with an old computer with Outlook, I can send attachments of any size using the same e-mail account; and the program of "Mail" Apple can send attachments of any size.

    I use: Office 365 for Mac, Macbook Pro, El Capitan, Outlook 2016; e-mail account is POP3, T-Online.

    Does anyone have an idea what is happening here?  Does anyone know where the Outlook preferences are stored and how to check or change?  I understand that it is possible to limit the size of the email in preferences, while the not to complain about the size, it can simply to send larger e-mails.

    I am happy for any information you can give me.

  • How to import mail to Outlook for Mac 2011 files in Apple Mail

    Hello

    Need to move/transfer a bunch of Outlook (Mac, 2011) of local records in Apple Mail local folders.

    Searched the Internet for the solution and PROCESS found this "drag and drop".

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=zjPLohEz-2W

    In fact, several other sites have shown the same method.

    But it did not work for me: after importing, the file appears in Apple Mail empty.

    And - this is seen in the clip above how when you import the MBOX file, the preview shows how it comes from Outlook: mine didn't, just regular MBOX icon.

    Edit: each import also blocks Mail.

    Any thoughts?

  • Missing emails in Mail for Mac

    Hello

    I was forced to recreate a POP mailbox account as he had stopped downloading mails from the server for some reason any (another POP account continued to function perfectly, download of e-mails from the same server).

    Now, I find that the re-created mailbox contains only a tiny proportion of emails that have been in the old mailbox, however.  The emails it contains are a random selection of these last two years, however, not quite recent.  I checked e-mail in the library, and they seem to be missing too.

    That's happened?  Is it possible to recover the missing emails?

    Thank you

    Try to rebuild the mailbox.

    If this does not work, try re-indexing of mailboxes mailbox. This can take some time if you have a lot of mail.
