Outlook 2016 App For Mac
This article describes the process of creating new Outlook profiles (initially for a new Exchange mailbox) from the Office 365 edition of Outlook 2016 for Mac. Screenshots in this guide used Outlook 2016 for Mac from Office 365 ProPlus.
Office 365 Commercial customers can get the new Outlook for Mac by accessing their Office 365 Portal, (Gear icon > Office 365 Settings > Software > Outlook for Mac icon) or visiting the Software page; Office 365 consumer subscribers can get the new Outlook for Mac by going to their My Account page.
Standalone/Non-O365 versions of Office 2016 for Mac will follow the same steps, but the interface may appear different. This was performed on macOS 10.13.3. Make sure Outlook is closed. We need to open the Outlook Profile Manager which is stored within the Outlook application package itself. It can be accessed in 3 ways: • Manual Navigation: Navigate through your file system manually. Open a new Finder window/tab, and navigate to the Outlook Profile Manager by going to /Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app/Contents/SharedSupport • 'Go' in Finder: Go straight to the Shared Support folder which contains the Outlook Profile Manager by using Finder's 'Go to Folder' feature.
This can be accessed by either clicking Go > Go to Folder. In Finder's menu bar, or pressing Shift+Cmd+G on your keyboard. • • After the 'Go to the folder' prompt appears, enter the following directory: /Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app/Contents/SharedSupport • • Spotlight: Use macOS' Spotlight search feature to go directly to the SharedSupport folder.
Bring up Spotlight either by clicking the magnifying glass icon in the top right of the menu bar or pressing Cmd+Space on your keyboard, type in the following directory, then press Enter: • /Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app/Contents/SharedSupport • • Once you've navigated to the SharedSupport folder, double-click on the Outlook Profile Manager app to launch it. Ordinarily, as long as your administrator made the appropriate changes to your domain's DNS information before this process is started, Outlook will be able to determine the location of your new Exchange server automatically based on your domain and prompt for your new mailbox password. If so, skip to step 7.
However, if Outlook is not able to determine the location of your new Exchange mailbox and you are prompted with 'Sorry! We couldn't find a match. Please choose the provider for user@domain.com', select either Office 365 (red) or Exchange (blue) depending on which hosted email service you have from us (Office 365 or AppRiver Hosted Exchange). If prompted for Exchange server information for AppRiver Hosted Exchange, please view for steps on how to obtain this information for your mailbox. If it still cannot make a connection even after choosing the proper account type, please contact your administrator.
There is no easy way to do that. To import Outlook data in Mail though, most of the time, the easiest is to go through an IMAP or Exchange account configured in both apps. Copy all the messages you need from Outlook to that account, and it should sync back to Mail. The other option is already mentioned above to use third-party applications.
One application that I felt had some interesting features is. Its Ultimate version can migrate your Outlook 2016 Mac emails directly to Apple Mail. Choose your pick wisely. TLDR; I will be honest upfront, without paid software this will be next to impossible to achieve, I therefore recommend that you stay with Outlook 2016 for Mac and save yourself the trouble and expense.
Last time I checked, Outlook 2016 for Mac meets all 'Official Guidelines' in he industry, hence is compliant with them. But since you ask, let's move forward. Background You are fortunate in that you already have all your mail on the same mac and do not need to deal with a device-to-device data transfer. If your Outlook 2016 would have been on a Windows machine, transferring to Apple Mail would have been a challenge in itself, but lets not worry about that as this involves a few steps too, due to incompatible and proprietary mail databases/formats. Assumption: I am assuming that you run the latest and greatest macOS High Sierra. Bluetooth keyboard for mac windows.
