However, synchronizing calendars in Outlook 2011 will have to wait for now, at least for those not using Exchange.

Microsoft plans to start offering Office 365 services sometime next year.Ĭontacts in Outlook 2011 can be synchronized using Microsoft's Sync Services. Office 365 - which includes online versions of Exchange, Lync (formerly Communications Server), SharePoint, and both Office Web Apps and the Office Pro Plus desktop client - was released as a beta earlier this month. Outlook 2011 works with premises-installed Exchange, as well as Office 365, Microsoft's latest suite of cloud-based services that will replace its Business Productivity Online Suite offerings. Outlook 2011 will be 'the first native version of Outlook for Mac OS X,' according to that account. The Entourage e-mail client isn't part of Office for Mac 2011 and is only supported as part of the preceding product, Office for Mac 2008.Īccording to a Wikipedia history, Outlook for Mac 2001 was the last Mac version released by Microsoft, but it was exclusively tied to the use of Microsoft Exchange Server. Home and Student users either have to rely on a Web-based e-mail client or purchase Outlook 2011 separately. Outlook 2011 is not available with the Home and Student edition of that product. Outlook for Mac 2011 (code-named 'Outlook 14.0') is now available with the Home and Business and the Academic editions of Office for Mac 2011.
