Outlook 2021 for Mac boasts several exciting features that are sure to impress users. One notable addition is the availability of Outlook Widgets for macOS, which allows users to customize their experience further. Additionally, you can opt-in to use the Apple notification center to receive meeting reminders, a feature known as Choose meeting reminders style in Outlook for Mac.

The new Outlook 2021 for Mac also features some nice integrations with the macOS 'look and feel', making it an even more enjoyable user experience. Office 2021/2019 customers can choose to stick with their current Outlook or try installing the free Outlook for Mac, which offers a more streamlined interface.

It's worth noting that there are some feature differences between Outlook 2021/2019 for Mac and the new Outlook for Mac. While it's unclear how this change may affect individuals with Office 2021 or Office 2019 who already have an Outlook for Mac as part of their perpetual licence plan, Microsoft 365 subscribers don't need to do anything since they already have access to the latest Outlook for Mac.

In terms of pricing, there are 'in-app purchases' available for Microsoft 365 plans. However, it's unclear whether there are any limitations or differences between Outlook for Mac features for free versus paid subscribers. Some users may prefer a more streamlined interface with fewer options visible, while others may miss certain features.

Overall, Outlook 2021 for Mac is an exciting development that promises to enhance the email experience for Mac users. With its intuitive design and seamless integrations, it's definitely worth checking out.
