We've already covered three major components of the suite -, and - so now it's time to turn our attention to Outlook for. Microsoft's venerable email, contacts and calendar application hasn't had quite the overhaul the other members of the team have received (and still can't access iCloud contacts or calendars, bah!), but there are a few items worthy of note to be found. In addition to the six Outlook tips you'll 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 it's a great time to brush up on what's new in Outlook for Mac 2016. Prev Page 1 of 7 Next Prev Page 1 of 7 Next What took you so long? Two of the new features in Outlook for Mac 2016 have been around for quite some time on OS X Mail, meaning that Microsoft has had to play a bit of catchup. 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.

Once again catching up to just about every other email client out available, Outlook for Mac 2016 finally supports push email, which means incoming messages will arrive directly to your inbox without having to manually check for them, or set up a schedule to do so every so many minutes. Best of all, there's 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.

It's not hard to be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of email you receive, especially when juggling multiple accounts and contacts. That's 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 there's 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. By default, Outlook grabs weather from the nearest major city, but a click on the pulldown menu offers the option to update your location automatically, which comes in handy for those using a MacBook. Should you prefer a weather-free view of events, this option can also be turned off from Preferences Calendar. Prev Page 5 of 7 Next Prev Page 5 of 7 Next Double the calendars, double the fun.

Another new calendar feature in Outlook for Mac 2016 is even more convenient: There's a side-by-side option to help spot scheduling conflicts when juggling multiple calendars. To activate it, simply select the calendars you want to view in the left-hand Navigation pane, which then displays each one in the currently selected view as neighboring tabs. If you no longer need to reference both of them, simply uncheck the one you don't 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 you've 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. Prev Page 7 of 7 Next Prev Page 7 of 7 Next.

OS X El Capitan added a new window type, the split view window. Split View lets you have two full-screen apps open on your Mac while still being able to view both app windows at the same time. It sounds a bit strange until you give the Split View feature a try.
