Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 (Includes Software Assurance)

Outlook for Mac 2011 is a time and information manager that integrates email, calendar, contacts, and tasks.

Outlook for Mac 2011 was designed for the Mac environment, with many features and interface elements intended specifically for Mac users. The Office for Mac ribbon enhances usability by bringing together the most popular formatting and creation tools - previously found in the Formatting Palette and Elements Gallery in Office 2008 - in a single, unified design. The ribbon complements the classic Mac menu and standard toolbar. Mac OS X's Quick Look function allows Outlook users to easily preview the contents of attachments. The My Day application allows Outlook users to see contacts, tasks, and appointments at a glance even when Outlook is closed.

Outlook for Mac will import email files from other applications, including Entourage files, .pst files from Outlook for Windows, and .eml files.

Outlook for Mac 2011 is also one of the applications included in the Office for Mac 2011 Standard suite. The standalone edition of Outlook for Mac is available only through Volume Licensing programs, such as the one offered through TechSoup New Zealand Program.

Some features are available only when Outlook is used with Exchange Server, which must be obtained separately.
