This turned off many corporations because they needed the features of Outlook.

Outlook 2011 10.12 Mac Is Now

Microsoft has listened to its users, and Outlook for Mac is now available for the first time with Office for Mac 2011.

I will not go into any of those in this review, but I will give you an overview of Outlook as compared to Entourage.

Entourage 2008 allows you to add Exchange, IMAP, and POP3 accounts.

In Entourage, the preferences pane was just a section of items and the options would be available on the right.

Outlook 2011 10.12 Mac OS X Interface To

This setup makes it easier for those who use are used to the Mac OS X interface to be able to more easily navigate and choose their preferences.

Outlook changes this behavior and displays the current number of unread messages.

This is a huge feature that many users who need Exchange will be grateful to have.

Threaded conversations allow a user to view all of the emails that are related to that particular email.

This is good for being able to see the origins of a particular topic within an email.

Just like its Windows counterpart, Outlook for Mac displays new email message notifications in the lower right corner of the screen.

This feature makes it much easier for users to determine if the incoming message is important enough to warrant their full attention, or whether to let it just slide into the background.

The unified inbox allows users to see all of their email within one view instead of having to view each mailbox individually, as they had to do when using Entourage.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking the Organize Tab and clicking the Conversations button.

I connected one of my email accounts, and when it downloaded all of the emails, it considered them all unread, despite this being an IMAP account.

Im not sure how this got past the Mac team, but it did somehow.

Yes, Entourage did have many of the same features, but it was not Outlook.

If youre an Exchange server user and you use a Mac, you will want to see if your company can acquire a copy of Outlook for Mac 2011 for you to use.

I enjoy programming and tend to lean towards server-based technologies over client-based.
