Outlook for Mac - Calendar preview add-in in inbox possible
Dear community,
I am a Macintosh Office 365 user. And I miss the inbox sidebar from Outlook Windows in the Outlook version for Mac, where i can see the dates for the current day. Isn't there this function in outlook for mac available? If not, is there possibly an add-in for this from another provider?
Thanks for feedback.
Hi CHeydorn,
Thanks for raising this.
At present, it is not possible to view calendars in/next to the reading pane in Outlook for Mac
There are several user voices open to have it added. These are two examples
I would recommend voting and driving as many people as possible to them in order to get Microsoft's attention on them. Unfortunately, AFAIK there is no third party add-ons which do this so it will be a case of waiting for Microsoft and having to switch into the calendar view for the foreseeable future.
I hope that I answered your question. If I have, please like the post and set it as the solution. I look forward to answering more of your questions in the future.
Best, Chris
Update
I found this ticket and they are working on it. Add your votes to this one.
- Dunno how - but it WORKS!!! Thanks a bunch! My pain is over, calendar is on place
- Mine was already checked when I launched it today. Not sure if that was due to the recent update or not. I switched to New Outlook and it's there!
Now if I could just switch to Tasks instead of To-Do I'd be golden. I miss being able to flag a message as a task with a date/reminder. 😞

- Hi Christopher,
Thank you for your reply. I voted for the feature and hope MS will implement it soon.
Kind regards,
Christine is there any update on this happening?ChrisHoardMVP
- Hi dayna_r225
Unfortunately still the same as previously - uservoices have not been picked up yet.
Best, Chris
ChrisHoardMVP Any chance we can get these two topics combined to improve the visibility of this request and the support
- Hi @Jeff_Lowe
Unfortunately, Microsoft Team manages the user requests and the site. I have seen them merge requests but it's every once in a while not on a regular basis. so there is many examples of duplicated requests on that uservoice. I would comment on the uservoices requesting that they are merged with each other. Hopefully, they will see this and merge them.
It makes total sense and combines the votes too which should push it up the agenda.
Best, Chris
The long wait is over, it's finally out for Mac!
HI there!
So how do I actually do this? Have googled and found nothing that solved the calendar add in to my Outlook on Mac 🙂 Thanks! /Cecilie falconsfire
When I clicked View > Task Pane menu the calendar sidebar is toggled on and off (also there a button on the right hand side that does the same thing - circled in screenshot)
You don't see this?
I have the same problem, I don't see the option under View.
I have version 16.58 of outlook and macos 12.2.1
Any suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks
Gabi
- I have the same problem, I don't see the option under View. I have version 16.58 of outlook on Mac.
Anyone able to resolve this for 16.58?- Reinstalling the outlook did the trick for me.
- Hi,
Microsoft 365 Subscription license you will not see the "Task Pane" under View. You will see this under Microsoft Retail license 2019.
