The already useful note-taking tool is the app that’s changed the most since Office 2016 came out on the Mac, with the updates adding in many of the key features that were missing in the free version Microsoft released in 2015. For now, you’re most likely to choose it over the built-in tools in macOS if you’re already using Outlook elsewhere or need it for work. You might want to consider that option if you get a lot of mail, because currently Outlook for Mac doesn’t let you choose how many emails to download – when you connect an account it grabs your whole mailbox.Įven with these drawbacks, Outlook for Mac is streets ahead of where it was a year ago, but we hope it catches up further with the Windows version. In Outlook 2016 you can move messages into your archive, and view them as well.
