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)
I take that back - reverted back to small window after posting 😠
Just updated my Outlook for Mac 2011 to the newest version (14.6.3).
No change.
The small window problem continues.
Worked for me! Thanks.
This Outlook intermittent window-sizing problem in El Capitan [still there after several updates inc 14.6.3] drives me NUTS. WHEN is Apple going to fix this? It just wastes so much time.
What you mean Fuzzy Dunlop is what an absolute PAIN IN THE *SS this is - not just 'what a shame'!
My experience, aero1247e, is that this window-sizing problem [worst and most infuriating in Outlook] STILL exist. It drives me nuts.
Yes the problems still exist.
But, as has been stated many times in this thread, there are 2 very easy and simple work-arounds.
For the Apple Calendar problem, simply keep the "Calendars Side-Bar" closed.
For the Outlook problem, just remember to "Minimize" the Outlook window instead of "Closing" it.
By doing these 2 simple things you will never see the problems again.
This is true, corvairkid - and well done for finding/suggesting it.
But it's still a pain in the *ss.

Has 14.6.4 finally cured this window-sizing issue?
I downloaded it this morning - and 3 hours later it seems to have - FINGERS CROSSED .....
Still not fixed for Adobe CC software in 10.11.5. Still ridiculous.
Version 14.6.4 of Outlook for Mac 2011, and version 10.11.5 of OS X El Capitan have not solved the window size problems.
Well that's odd. I downloaded 14.6.4 this morning and about 6 hours later now, and having opened and closed Outlook at lot to check, the - at least my - infuriating Outlook window-size problem has vanished after 6 our so infuriating months. I hope it goes on like this. Other than 14.6.4, what else could have caused this miraculous change?
I can't tell you why it's working for you. I hope it stays fixed, but based on past experience, I fear that your problem will eventually return. I hope I'm wrong.
What I can say, is that, on my computers, the window size issues for Apple's Calendar and Microsoft's Outlook for Mac 2011 have not been fixed by these two recent updates.
The work-arounds will continue.
Well, 3 hours later both Outlook & Apple Calendar are still, after installing 16.6.4, holding the sizes I closed them at - and I've done it a lot to check.
So, as you can imagine, my fingers are v.much crossed.
But of course I'll keep your two simple work-arounds up my sleeve - thanks for them, corvairkid - clever!
24 hrs after installing 16.6.4, Outlook is still holding its 'as-closed' size perfectly every time I re-open it.
I can't think of any other logical reason than 16.6.4.
So my fingers remained crossed - this has been a nightmare for months ... until yesterday.
