Whenever you forward or reply an email in Outlook 2016 in a Mac, the email (in HTML) changes to various formats of text, there can be up to 2,3 or 4 different formats of text in the forwarded/reply email. We have followed all the steps to make sure the text is all set to Arial 10 etc. The only workaround is to change the emails to default to plain text which is pretty useless as it makes the emails look unprofessional and doesn't show the company signature. We've also contacted Microsoft support and all they suggest is to reinstall the whole suite onto the Mac.
The app is available for my iPhone, iPad and Mac. I haven't used the Outlook app, I'll admit, but I prefer Airmail to the stock Gmail app (and I.
The OSX is up to date and and we bought the Mac ad the Office suite about a month ago. Does anyone have a suggestion as to whether it's a bug/whether we should ask for a new Office suite (since we just bought it) or any other tips? You found the information I was seeking. Your installation of Office is not up to date. The first thing to do is install updates (see instructions below). After installing updates, try again and see if the problem persists.
If it does, please reply. Make sure your Mac has a working internet connection before checking for updates. Install Mac OS X updates followed by Office updates.

As it says above, which one do you use and why? Like, I've used Mail for a long time, and it's okay; quite functional, no real issues with it. I recently have access to Outlook for Office 2016, and.it seems okay.
I don't really know what the differences are, and online reviews are sketchy at best as to differences. So, I'd like to ask my fellow Mac users, which one do you prefer, and why?
Bonus if you use the mobile versions on iPad or iPhone (which i suppose I would; I'm the sort of person that likes to use the same set of apps on all my devices, if possible). I use Mail for personal, and Outlook at the office (because I have no choice). If Apple bundled a bunch of it's software together (Mail, Calendar, Notes, etc.) into one app they would be a bit more comparable as stated, but I'm not sure they are. It's hard to say which I prefer.
I'm just so entrenched in the Apple ecosystem at home, and on all of my personal devices, that I haven't made an attempt to switch to other software. I have to say, however, I do find the Microsoft Office Suite much better than Apple's similar products. However, I like Apple's OS much more than Windows so I tend to work with its default applications on all my personal devices. If I didn't have to incur the expense of paying for more software I might try using Outlook, etc.
On my Apple devices. I hope this helps. PIM = Personal Information Manager. It incorporates Mail, ToDo, Calendar, Contacts, etc.
In one application. Apple has these as separate applications. When I used a day planner it made sense to keep everything in a central location. And by using the separate applications I can let them update across the iCloud and all my systems stay current. That doesn't happen, or didn't, with Office. Have no experience with Office 2016 so it could have changed. Outlook tends to come bundled with Office and the new Office is a subscription based software so we won't be using it.
My wife and I use the separate applications and for us it is not a problem. There was at least one comment about Outlook regarding 'Exchange' accounts - one of the recent previous updates added 'Outlook.com' accounts as a native option, but read on.
I also use Win 10, which has apps for mail/contacts/calendaring and an 'Accounts' app. A few weeks ago I had to wipe a Mac and I opted to start fresh. In my Win 10 VM, when adding accounts I noticed that iCloud.com accounts are available so I added one - my iCloud Mail and Calendars (including my 'groups) and Contacts were all ported in and available for editing in the Win 10 native apps. The caveat with the imported items is that not all of the data fields map over BUT, unlike Gmail Outlook.com hasn't bunged up my data in my iCloud portal. Then, I noticed that the Win Calendar/People apps data fields resembled those in my two Office 365 accounts, so. On my Mac, in Outlook 2016 and the Internet Accounts I added my Outlook.com account as an Exchange Account, and it worked - all of my Outlook.com data showed up in Mail, Calendars, Contacts, and Outlook 2016 as Exchange account data. So, there's the 'free' conduit for getting data in both the Mac apps and Outlook 2016 (I no longer use Outlook 2011 but don't see why it wouldn't work).
My caveat is that I am being careful with making sure that I keep my data for each account segregated, since Outlook.com is still being moved to the Office 365 platform, Apple uses its own version of data fields, and I keep my business data in Win Outlook 2016, and I only use Gmail for junk. And, don't expect 'real time' synchronization with an Outlook.com account, but it's still workable. I don't see that the above hijacks this thread too much, thought I'd share how to sync Mac data into Outlook 2016 without a 'real' Exchange account. Outlook (Accompli) on iOS is very good, imo - Outlook 2016, not really close to the features of the Window's equivalent, sadly. That said, I still use it since the work requires it, and calendar/meeting requests/categories integration is still good. A few weeks ago, I took the plunge on Mailtags (following my purchasing Mail Act-On last year) - and I'm giving it a serious whirl.
It's allowing me to do things that Outlook (on either platforms) can't - but have yet to deep-dive properly. I guess that both have strengths in different areas, and would largely be shaped by what you might need from them. Damn pointless answer this ^^. I've used both for years - Mail for email and Outlook for scheduling (my company is on Exchange).
At one point I tried moving everything to Outlook, but I didn't like it as an email client and I switched back. If Apple or some third party offered a fully-featured, Exchange-compatible calendar app for OS X, I'd use it. By that I mean that it should do everything that the Windows version of Outlook does, including support different time zones for the start and end of an event. That's valuable for entering flights that span time zones. But, AFAIK, it's still not available in Outlook 2016 for Mac. I use Mail and have 7 email accounts to run. It works okey.
But i would like to have some more options like creating maps with client names and rule there email to those maps. I would like to rule out all kind of other mail to and sort it into maps. With Mail, everything in on one pile. Its a shame that i need to take the whole Office to use Outlook. I am not interested in the rest. And it will cost me also 100+ euro a year.
So, i stick to Mail and take the lack of some options as it is. Mail is free and not bad. But it can be better with some simple things. If you need some more control, Outlook is your tool to mangage your email better. Also, you can go much more in depth with your signature.
In Mail thats limited to. Click to expand.Can you provide some specifics as to how you added the Outlook.com account as Exchange in the Internet Accounts? The reason I ask, is my wife's account must be one that has moved over to O365 as her IMAP access no longer works but EAS does on her iPhone/iPad as does EAS from Outlook 2016. But she would rather use Mac Mail. When I tried to add and Exchange account, it asked for email address and password, but failed authentication. There were also some URLs that looked like they could be modified but I don't know what to use.

I'm posting in a couple of threads that have chatter and my input regarding this. MS has been offering that the Outlook cloud services (what they call Outlook.com) are going to be fully migrated to the O365 platform - I started reading MS blogs as early as last February. I really only noticed last week what I alluded to - but it's with one of the two accounts I have, the second one fails authentication as your SO is experiencing.
The Outlook.com account that appears to be migrated still is working very well, but has synching issues with Contacts (only, the same old -997 error code that's plagued Exchange accounts on Macs for years, but the data synchs nonetheless). Furthermore, I removed the account from Mac Outlook 2016, added it as an 'Outlook.com' account and it still shows up in Outlook's Accounts Preferences as an Exchange account - I'm still stumped by this behavior. Short answer, in time the account will be be ported. I've read that Outlook cloud services, including Accompli for iOS, will be ported to Azure 'in 2016' from AWS which is consistent with what MS wrote/blogged about early last year. My main, migrated account performs so much faster than the second account it's ridiculous - I use Win Outlook 2016 to gauge both accounts for the heck of it.
I used Autodiscovery, simply entering in my username (full email address) and relevant password - make sure you enter in the 2-Factor Authentication password if it's turned on for the account you're asking about. And, FWIW, maybe your SO could try again?
I opened my Win 10 Accounts app and did see a bright red error message that Outlook wasn't synching properly and 'try again later', with some hex code error. My Mac apps and Outlook apps were working fine, tho'. I use Mail for personal, and Outlook at the office (because I have no choice). If Apple bundled a bunch of it's software together (Mail, Calendar, Notes, etc.) into one app they would be a bit more comparable as stated, but I'm not sure they are. It's hard to say which I prefer. I'm just so entrenched in the Apple ecosystem at home, and on all of my personal devices, that I haven't made an attempt to switch to other software.

However, I like Apple's OS much more than Windows so I tend to work with its default applications on all my personal devices. If I didn't have to incur the expense of paying for more software I might try using Outlook, etc. On my Apple devices.
I hope this helps.
