Microsoft Office 2016 for the Mac is the kind of upgrade I hope for but rarely get. It took five years from Office 2011's release to get this latest Mac office suite, but it was well worth the wait.

Hi, I've tried finding an answer to this question through Microsoft, even by chatting with Microsoft support, to no avail. The support person didn't even seem to understand the issue.

So I will try here in the hopes maybe some Office 2016 user can help me. On two different MacBook Pro's, both running 10.12.3, I run Office for Mac. On the older of the two machines I run Office 2011 and among other apps, I use Outlook for Calendar function. And with Office Reminders turned ON, the normal and correct behavior on that older machine running Office 2011 is that Office Reminders pop up when appropriate whether the actual application, Outlook is running or not. Now, move to a newer MacBook Pro I just bought and I am running a one month trial version of Office 365 for Mac which includes Outlook.

What I've discovered is that even with Office Reminders turned ON, the Reminders ONLY pop up if the application is running AND visible. I've found that even if I set Outlook to Start at Login but with it HIDDEN, that the Reminders do NOT pop up.

As soon as UNHIDE the app, there they are. I don't for a moment believe that is how Microsoft intends the Reminders to work. On the older Mac running Office 2011 for Mac, Reminders pop up even if Outlook isn't even running.

But on the new Mac running Office 2016 for Mac, Reminders pop up ONLY if Outlook is both RUNNING and VISIBLE. Can anyone here tell me 1) might this be normal behavior for Office 2016 for Mac??? 2) assuming it's NOT normal behavior, is this a known bug??? 3) Can anyone offer any ideas as to what settings I might have set up wrong??? I do note on the older Mac running Office 2011 that there is a 'Microsoft Database Daemon' running as a Login startup item while there is no such thing on the new Mac running Office 2016. On the other side, 'Notifications' on the new Mac running Office 2016 has a separate Notification setting for Microsoft Outlook (and others related to Office) in the Notifications Preference panel while there is no such equivalent on the Office 2011 Mac.

So clearly Microsoft and/or Apple have chosen to implement the Office software in different ways between Office 2011 and 2016 and maybe the answer is buried in there??? Any Office 2016 for Mac folks who could possibly help me with Outlook Reminders not popping up unless Outlook is running and visible??? Thanks for any help??? Can anyone here tell me 1) might this be normal behavior for Office 2016 for Mac??? 2) assuming it's NOT normal behavior, is this a known bug??? 3) Can anyone offer any ideas as to what settings I might have set up wrong??? You haven't set anything up wrong.

This is normal behavior for Outlook 2016 on the Mac. Or, if it's a bug, there has been no fix offered up by Microsoft. The only thing you can really do is minimize Outlook instead of hiding it, or use multiple desktops and keep it open it a separate workspace while you do something else. Outlook 2011 and Outlook 2016 are not even remotely related when it comes to actual code.
