Meanwhile Microsoft will be enhancing the Outlook 2016 for Mac with support for the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar “soon.” That said, you can import a snapshot of your Google Calendar to Outlook for Windows or subscribe to it. On the Windows side, Google does offer the G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook (GSSMO), but it’s not currently available for Mac, nor can legacy Google Apps Free edition users take advantage of it. Richer functionality for certain kinds of emails has also become available on more Microsoft properties. Focused Inbox is a feature Microsoft picked up through its 2014 Acompli acquisition - Microsoft has since put it in more places, including most recently the standard-issue Mail app for Windows 10.
“With these updates, you will also be able to take advantage of several of Outlook’s advanced features with your Gmail account, including Focused Inbox and richer experiences for travel reservations and package deliveries,” the Outlook team said. This will be in addition to Outlook’s existing support for Gmail - but Microsoft is now enhancing what’s possible with email from Gmail in Outlook for Mac.
