Outlook for Mac is a start, but it's missing a few key features. This week saw an update for read receipts and Gmail calendar and contact support. SyncMate combines two features in one app - Mac data synchronization and Mac data transfer (each device can be mounted as a Mac OS X disk and data can be transferred directly between macOS and the respective device).
I am considering purchase of an iMac and switching from windows. However, I have twenty years of emails in my Outlook.pst file. Right now I'm using the wonderful Apple iCloud syncing program for windows that syncs all my calendars, contacts and bookmarks between windows and my idevices. I understand that I can purchase Office/Outlook 2016 for the iMac and that I can import my historic emails from windows. However, thus far my show stopper is it appears that I would no longer be able to sync contacts and calendars between Outlook 2016 for iMac and El Capitain or my several iDevices. Microsoft support for Outlook for iMac tells me it is because the new iMac operating system will no longer allow Outlook to sync, whereas it did before. Is this correct information?
If so, is Apple considering finding or creating a way for Outlook on iMac to sync contacts and calendars with El Capitain and iDevices? Thank you for your quick response. The link confirms that I can import my windows pst file into outlook 2016 for iMac. Do you know anything about the syncing issues I also raised? Microsoft support for Outlook for iMac tells me the new iMac operating system will no longer allow Outlook to sync, whereas it did before.
Is this correct information? If so, is Apple considering finding or creating a way for Outlook on iMac to sync contacts and calendars with El Capitain and iDevices? Or do you know of a work around? Yes, that's what I'm learning. However, as a twenty-year long Outlook user I'd like to migrate Outlook with me to an iMac. And I'm told that once upon a time, not so long ago, outlook on iMac could sync, but it was because Apple cut it off with upgrade to the new OS for iMac. Is this correct info?
Will Apple be trying to change this so all the windows users (who still love Outlook) can go out an buy a splendid iMac? Perhaps not, but that's why I'm asking. When Apple created the iCloud syncing download for Windows it created a very useful bridge to encourage windows users like me to buy idevices. Because with that little app all idevices and Outlook sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks through iCloud. I'm wondering, asking, or hoping that Apple will do (or maybe has done) the same thing for windows users who actually want to buy and iMac, but bring Outlook along with them.

Since Apple made it so easy for windows users like me to try iphones and ipads by providing syncing with outlook I though (perhaps incorrectly) that Apple would WANT Outlook users to be apple to migrate easily to Apple desktops. It was Microsofts decision, why do keep on trying to reassign that decision to Apple. Buy a Winbox.if Outlook matters that much tp you and you want to use it with iCloud. Apple Footer.
