At work I just migrated to a Macbook Air and am running Office 2011.  In outlook I have created the OML archive folder - with various subfolders.  In the old windows version I had rule for certain system generated emails to automatically be sent to the appropriate subfolder in my archive folder. When setting up the rule I simply just navigated to the folder and it was automatically set.

With Outlook 2011 for Mac when I try to set up such rules I have to type in the folder name (can't navigate).  A message comes up that the folder cannot be found.  Hopefully, there is some workaround, I really need these emails to be automatically moved.

Another item --- it is a real pain to customize emails by change fonts, bolding etc.  In the windows version there were many ribbon icons and options that allowed easy customization.  In this version you have to click drop downs to make the selections and there is no paint option to copy formats.  The customization options of the toolbar/ribbon are very limited.  Is there not so obvious ways to add more advanced customization.  It seems very primitive.
