Outlook for Mac Does Not Work on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite Public Beta)

Outlook launches without a Home Screen.

Menu Items are accessible and function properly (i.e. compose and send email, access Accounts etc.).

However, Home Screen does not render and you cannot see (or access) Mailboxes, Calendar, Contacts etc.

Appreciate that this is an issue with Public Beta Version but Apple has now issued this to One Million Mac Users and plenty of Microsoft Users rely on Outlook for Mac so, will need to be resolved.

    Dan NB,

    Mail is a bad product - I frequent the Apple Community Support forums and if there's one application that folks are going to have problems with, it's Apple's Mail. The problem with Outlook and Yosemite has been solved - by Apple - and you no longer have to jump through any hoops to get it up and running at this point.

    I don't know what type you're having with Time Machine restores - that Office always asks for the activation key? That's true of a number of applications and, to my mind, is a great way to avoid pirating of the software.

    Even if you do decide to give up Outlook - find something else to run other than Mail (Thunderbird, for example) - but there's no good reason that I can see to give up Outlook (and, yes, I run it both on OS X and Windows 7 Pro).

    Good luck,

    Clinton

    I ran into similar issues after a Time Machine restore and as with this thread there were a lot of steps suggesting how to resolve this.  I don't have to connect to an Exchange server and as much as I liked Outlook on Windows, it was becoming too time consuming to fix on Mac.  I ported everything to Apple Mail and haven't looked back since.  I've adopted a simple principle that I should be using applications instead of wasting time fixing them.

    With the release of OneNote for Mac, it would seem that Microsoft is taking applications for Mac more seriously which is a good thing.  As for Outlook, now that I've switched to Apple Mail I doubt that I'll be returning to it.

    You may be right, but this "great" program you are touting does not work.

    Yes, it does work. When run with a beta OS, Outlook had a hiccup but that was easily remedied by Apple - albeit a little late for me.

    I've no idea why you're trying to compare Outlook to Pages in any event.
