Since upgrading to El Capitan, Microsoft Outlook will not remember it's window size after I close and reopen, or quit and restart the program.
This problem did not occur with any previous operating systems.
Please help....
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
That is encouraging news Fuzzy!! 🙂
Can't wait for September 20th!
Well, I'm sorry to say...I upgraded to OS Sierra today with high hopes, but the window size problem with Outlook for Mac 2011 persists.
The first time I closed the Outlook window and re-opened it, it opened like a little box, as it has since I upgraded to El Capitan.
I'm so used to minimizing instead of closing the Outlook window that it doesn't matter anymore to me.
I don't care anymore.

I did an upgrade to macOS Sierra and the problem still exists in Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC, InDesign CS6, Illustrator CS6.
Apple is unable or unwilling to solve the problem. Apple focuses more on iphone hipsters than on Desktop publishing professionals. That *****!
oh, I see. Apple don't like words like s-u-c-k-s. Ok, thats ok. Decent words are actually much more important than to eliminate errors the user nerves for months
What issues are you having with the CS6 Adobe apps?
I just upgraded to Sierra but the problem is still there. Very annoying.
Sometimes the Outlook window size remains as it should, other times it shrinks down to a much smaller size for no reason.
Anyone have any luck finding out a solution? Is it an Apple or a Microsoft bug?
As stated earlier in this thread, the "work-around" is to "minimize" the Outlook window instead of "closing" it.
You can also quit Outlook while it's window is as large as you like. It will re-open to the same size.
Either way works every time.
Who's bug is it?
At this point, I don't think it matters anymore.
In my opinion, neither Apple nor Microsoft are interested in fixing a problem with an email application that came out in 2010.
Hi corvair
The problem happens when the computer boots up. The window is small after a crash or shutdown.

Has anyone experienced this bug in macOS Sierra and the current Office 2016 version? For me so good so far!
I have Office 15.26.1 and have not been able to reproduce the bug in Outlook 2016 since upgrading to Sierra. What version are you running?
I am running 14.6.8
I believe this is the latest one.
Issue happens on start up. I does not seem to happen if I quit Outlook and restart.
Anyone else having this annoying problem?
Yesterday, I updated my Outlook for Mac 2011 to version 14.6.9.
Since then, my window size problem appears to be fixed.
I can now close the window and reopen it without it reverting to a smaller size.
I know it may be too soon the tell, but miracles do happen!
I will keep you all informed.
I spoke too soon again! ðŸ˜
Just got the small Outlook window!
The problem persists on both of my Macs.
So, it's back to "minimizing" instead of "closing" the Outlook window.
Grrrr....
Evidently Apple just doesn't care. People are going to buy Apple products regardless so what concern is it of theirs. They are not going to re-design an O/S just for us. Live with it! That's what we get. You can see that it is quite evident with the fact that the problem occurred quite some time ago with the release of El Capitan and it has continued to the new O/S with no correction or interaction from Apple ON THEIR OWN FORUM. If Apple were concerned about your needs they would have at least tried to address it and posted some type of fix and/or work around. They have not. So, just live with it. Apple could care less about our needs. It's all $$$ in their pockets. Not saying to move to Microsoft O/S. They are just as bad or worse. But, it would be nice if they cared enough to try....
This is a most annoying issue , however I'm not convinced its solely Apple to blame ( with Outlook anyway) I recently had the same issue with another piece of software I use and contacted the developer to see if he could shed some light on what was causing it, I didn't get an explanation but the issue was fixed between a Friday night and the following morning so I'm guessing it wasn't too much of a problem to resolve. I have done some MacOS updates since then and the software is still flawless
