Microsofts venerable email, contacts and calendar application hasnt had quite the overhaul the other members of the team have received (and still cant access iCloud contacts or calendars, bah), but there are a few items worthy of note to be found.

Outlook 2016 Help Install The Entire

In addition to the six Outlook tips youll find in our gallery, the entire Office 2016 for Mac suite now offers support for Retina Display, full-screen view and multitouch gestures - and you can install the entire suite without the need for an Office 365 subscription, so its a great time to brush up on whats new in Outlook for Mac 2016.

The first is the ability to preview the first sentence of an email beneath the subject line in the list of messages, a fairly obvious convenience that makes Outlook a whole lot nicer.

The second is even more helpful: Threaded conversations, which automatically groups individual messages on the same topic into a flowing cascade.

A click on the triangle expands conversation, but if you prefer to ditch this awesome new feature, head to View Arrange Conversations to turn it off.

Best of all, theres really nothing to set up or configure, although you might want to double-check that IMAP-IDLE is turned on in the Advanced section of each individual account for servers that support it, like the Dreamhost one shown here.

Thats where Microsoft comes to the rescue with Outlook for Mac 2016, which includes a handy option to filter messages by a wide range of criteria.

For example: Looking for only the emails received today, this week, or this month No problem, just click on the filter button and use the pop-up menu to select the desired option.

But theres a wide range of choices to be found, including Unread, Flagged, Has Attachment, and even by Category, which comes in handy for separating work messages from personal emails in a jiffy.

While in Calendar view, Outlook for Mac 2016 now displays weather for the current day as well as two days into the future.

A click on any of these forecasts opens a pop-up with additional detail, along with a web link to get the big picture.

Should you prefer a weather-free view of events, this option can also be turned off from Preferences Calendar.

If you no longer need to reference both of them, simply uncheck the one you dont want to see, or optionally click the X button in the tab to make that view disappear.

Another option for viewing events from multiple calendars is to browse over to the Organize tab on the Ribbon and click the Overlay button.

Now youve just consolidated the information from all of your individual calendars into a single view for maximum efficiency and control of your day, week, or month.

Want to jump back to that aforementioned side-by-side view again No problem, just click the Overlay button a second time, and whoomp, there it is.

You can unsubscribe at any time and well never share your details without your permission.
