Quick access to attachmentsĪnother feature that will be useful is the ability to quickly handle attachments from just about anywhere. I think having a calendar app attached to your email is extremely useful for making appointments, meetings and reminders, and frankly, if you're on Microsoft Exchange at work, this might be the best email client available. You have the option to look at a day or week view, and you can look at a specific day hour by hour or by the events happening that day. You also can quickly send via email the times when you are free during a day (to attend other meetings). Neither Entourage 2008 nor Outlook 2011 & 2016 support CalDAV or CardDAV.The calendar gives you key functions from the desktop version, letting you create meetings and invite guests. Outlook does not sync iCloud, Google or other CalDAV and CardDAV services.ĬalDAV & CardDAV are protocols used by Apple, Google, Yahoo and others to sync contacts and calendars. Outlook only syncs to Exchange contacts and calendars. How do you organize and sync your calendar and contacts with your iPhone.Īdd the Exchange account to your iPhone and check sync to contacts and calendars. The Inbox does get high priority so it will generally sync before other folders that also need to sync.Įxchange likes folders to not exceed 2GB.Īnyone having experience with the new Outlook for Mac, especially connected to an Exchange server. Since Outlook has a limit on how many folders can be synced at a time, there can be a queue of folders waiting. Outlook checks the server for updates every minute, any folder that has updates will subsequently be synced. Due to the design of Outlook's sync engine (and how exchange works), you will see the 512 newest messages in a folder at the initial start of sync then the rest of the folder's contents will be back filled before you see any mail that arrives after this point. Do NOT make subfolders under the Inbox.Īny folder with more than a few thousand messages is going to take some time to fully come down when you first sync your account. (this is the number one cause of problems with sync). The Inbox syncs more frequently than any other and should be kept as clean as possible. She needs to archive messages to subfolders to reduce the number of messages in the Inbox. It's the number of messages in the Inbox that is the problem.

Regardless, you will have similar issues with Outlook. If you visit the Microsoft forums, you'll find lots of issues with Outlook 2016. I support Microsoft Outlook and while it's a more robust Exchange client than Apple Mail, It's also missing a lot of features you get in Mail.
