New Office for Mac 2011 update fixes Outlook sync bug with OS X El Capitan
Microsoft on Wednesday released an Office for Mac 2011 update to fix a major bug with OS X El Capitan, which previously prevented users from reading email in Outlook.
The update, v14.5.6, can be fetched directly from the Microsoft Download Center. The Outlook glitch is the only problem addressed by the software, which requires that people already have at least v14.1.0.
After upgrading to El Capitan, some Outlook 2011 users discovered that the app would fail to sync properly. In fact the app would hang and stop responding, making email inaccessible for those people outside of using webmail, switching to another client, or downgrading to OS X Yosemite.
Microsoft is still working on El Capitan compatibility problems with Office for Mac 2016. Many people have been experiencing crashes with the 2016 apps, potentially rendering them useless and once again forcing people to downgrade.

Anyone with work email that requires full Exchange functionality, for starters.
I tried holding off upgrading from XP but they discontinued support before having a working replacement.:-)
The OS X version of Outlook does not have "full Exchange functionality", it actually has only fractionally better Exchange support than Apple Mail, and you buy that with a terrible GUI and an unreliable app. If you want full Exchange support, running a VM is your only option. If you want decent support, use the Web interface, which is actually quite decent since Exchange Server 2013.
As someone who has been using it for work email for years, I have not found anything better (I use AirMail for my personal mail). It supports a number of Exchange features Apple Mail does not, and many (scheduling meetings, looking up directory contacts) just work much better in Outlook. The web interface is decent - for a web interface, but I much prefer using a native app.
Who still uses outlook?
A whole lot more than those who use Apple’s Mail app. Tens of millions more.
Nonsense. Outlook 2011 is not Windows Outlook. It is the current name of the application that we had known since 2001 as Entourage. So no, it is simply not true that tens of millions more people use it than Mail.
Thanks. Good one. I just squirted coffee out of my nose.
Who still uses outlook?
Anyone who works in an AD environment.In some people's minds, just being able to receive an email in the inbox constitutes 'Exchange compatibility', hence all the talk of using Apple Mail in an Exchange Server environment.
