And as everyone in modern business environments can attest, the more quickly information is received, the faster it can be acted upon. While a few minutes' notification may seem unimportant, information arriving when the server receives the message or appointment rather than having to wait a predetermined period of time before checking for new messages and meetings makes for a more responsive application. The new app adds push mail support, which means new inbound messages and calendar invitations will appear more rapidly within a user's inbox. The real question as to an office suite's refinement comes in the exploration of new features, of which Outlook 2016 boasts many. Outlook 2016 for Mac introduces a refreshed interface, which is normal, of course, for new Office applications. Much improved over Entourage days, Outlook has increasingly offered Mac users a more reliable email platform that's worked well within Microsoft Exchange environments, whether the Exchange server is located locally or of the cloud-based variety.
Regardless of opinion, Outlook remains Microsoft's email client solution. Most users possess a love or hate relationship with Microsoft Outlook.
