Microsoft Exchange Outlook For Mac

Posted on by

If you have a Microsoft Exchange account, you can look up the schedule of someone in your organization.

The easiest way to see someone's schedule is to start a meeting invitation. After reviewing the person's schedule, you can close the meeting invitation without sending it.

  2. If you have more than one account in Outlook, on the From menu, select the Exchange account for the organization that you want.

  3. On the To line of the new meeting, type the name or email address of the person whose schedule you want to look up.

  5. In the Starts field, enter the day for which you want to check the schedule.

  6. On the Organizer Meeting tab, click Scheduling.

    A calendar appears that shows the free/busy times for the organizer and the person on the To line.

  7. To show all the hours in the day—not just the hours of your work day—clear the Show work hours only check box.

  8. To delete the meeting without sending a meeting request, close the meeting window and choose Discard Invitation.

When you look up other people's schedules, the information you see reflects how they have set their free/busy status for each calendar event. If someone has a meeting on his or her calendar set to Show As 'Free,' you will not see that meeting in the calendar window.

When it comes to running Microsoft Outlook on a PC versus Mac, the choice between the two is often less a question of need and more a question of preference. It is essentially the specific functionality of these products that creates the user preference. Preference can, of course, be influenced by need, and every user has at least one specific need for a product: “to accomplish X.”

The average user basically has three options to run Microsoft Outlook:

Microsoft Outlook for Mac: This option meets very basic needs such as drafting emails, creating calendar events, and saving contacts. Based on a review of Microsoft’s direct support forums, the only feature available on Outlook for Mac that is not available on Outlook for Windows is the ability to synchronize Mail, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes with Outlook.com.

Microsoft Outlook for Windows: In my opinion, this is the best option because you’re able to run the application in Microsoft Windows, which means you have access to all of the application’s features. You’re able to use read-receipts, social, and voting features, allowing for collaboration on your projects. More importantly, side-by-side calendars, conversation actions, and the ability to use Word to compose your emails all allow for endless support from your co-workers so you’re all on the same page. You can even paste tables from Word/Excel directly into your email draft. There is an endless list of features available for Windows that are not available for Mac.

Office 365: This one-year subscription provides the entire suite of Microsoft products, plus 1 TB of OneDrive and Skype. Office 365 offers both “for home” and “for business” options, depending on your need. In addition, on up to five machines, you can download the applications natively versus using them in a browser. Downloading the program directly is highly recommended because there are many native options that are not available—or reliable—in the browser version (which again supports my opinion that Outlook for Windows is the best option). You can try a one-month subscription of Office365 for free.
