While also El Capitan adopters are also experiencing problems with Microsoft Office 2016, Microsoft is fixing bugs one at a time, so today's it's the turn of Outlook 2011 to finally get a patch aimed at Apple's customers.

In an advisory posted in late September, Microsoft explains the problem:
“Shortly after you start Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 on Mac OS X El Capitan (version 10.11), Outlook hangs when it tries to sync with the server. The Spinning Wait cursor is displayed, and the application status is displayed as 'Not Responding.'”
