Microsoft has announced the release of Service Pack 2 for Office for Mac.
- Outlook 2011 continues to get the most requests from consumers and businesses alike; therefore, our top priority for this release was Outlook, and this service pack resolves many of the most common requests.
The more notable Outlook enhancements include: Sync performance with Exchange server, Performance improvements while deleting multiple items, Displaying email message content, and sending email.
Outlook performance is also improved in IMAP account sync and the database rebuild utility. New capabilities include: Scheduling resources in the calendar, Distribution list expansion, Day number display in the calendar.
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint have improved performance with additional modest improvements. For example, we updated PowerPoint to take advantage of full screen view in Lion, and we improved grammar checkers for Italian and German languages. We also made it easier to work with Office documents on SkyDrive and addressed several smaller issues in response to your feedback. -
How about fixing Outlook to be backwards compatible to access older versions of exchange servers.
In addition, each time outlook is used, it modifies significant portion of its MetaBase and thus the Time Machine Backup will attempt to backup the whole PST MetaBase file. This is unacceptable on a large PST file!!! Mine is over 10gigs. I set my TimeMachine to auto backup each hour over my WiFi. The results is that the whole Outlook met abase is attempted to be backed up each hour. This does not happen with other eMail clients.
