I am stuck with Exchange Server for work, so it is the interface for now or nothing. The crashes (Office 2016) and “spinning beach ball of death” (Outlook 2011/2016) were known well before the update was made available, but nothing was done about compatibility. Both MS and Apple have been aware of this issue since the beta…long before the gold master was issued. I even purchased an Office for Mac Home and Business 2016 for home but won’t install until that is fixed as well (or return as keycard not activated). Sorry, El Capitan, but 10.11 won’t be installed until an MS patch is issued for both 20. On my work Mac, I am resorting to a time machine restore of 10.5.5. None of these tricks worked on my personal mac. I rebuilt my identity, did the shift-key trick (which sort of worked once or twice), set it to “low resolution” etc. I tried everything on my macbook pro retina mid-2014.
Normal service resumed! Hope it works for all of you! Restart Outlook and be patient – you are likely to see the the beachball BUT Outlook will sync with the server From Finder, move the com.microsoft.*.plist files from the folder created in Step 2 back to Library – PreferencesĦ. Exit the nag message that the product key should be 25 characters long, then Force Quit (Command – Option – Escape) the Outlook product key verification programĥ. Enter a partial product key and press enter/return. Open Outlook – you will be prompted to agree to license terms and asked for the product key. Select ALL the com.microsoft.*.plist files and drag/move to the folder from Step 2Ĥ. Create a new folder, say, “microsoft prefs”ģ. From Finder, navigate to Macintosh HD – Library – PreferencesĢ. Solution that worked for me for Outlook 2011 with Exchange serve X to El Capitan:ġ.
After trying “select low res” option – no go, the “select Sent folder on start up” – no go, “Work offline” – no go.
