How to configure the Quick Access Toolbar settings in Outlook?
Office 2016 for Mac is sandboxed. Unlike other versions of Office apps that support VBA, Office 2016 for Mac apps are sandboxed. Sandboxing restricts the apps from accessing resources outside the app container. This affects any add-ins or macros that involve file access or communication across processes. The Access runtime allows you to distribute your Access applications to users who do not have a full license of Access. Owners of the Office Developer Tools (or Developer Extensions for Office 2003) can freely distribute unlimited copies of the runtime with their applications.

Get the Quick Access Toolbar file location
When we customize the Quick Access Toolbar in Outlook, it will generate files for the custom settings and save them in your computer automatically. And you can get the QAT file location easily with following method.
Open a folder, paste the following path into the Address box, and press the Enter key.
C:Users%username%AppDataLocalMicrosoftOffice
In the opening folder, you will get the qat files.
Notes:
() If you are using Outlook 2007, the qat files are shown as xxxx.qat file; if you are using Outlook 2010 and 2013, the qat files are shown as xxxx.officeUI;
(3) There will be many qat files in the destination folder if you have customized the Quick Access Toolbar in many windows, such as messages composing window, message reading windows, appointment windows, etc.
Change the Quick Access Toolbar location in Ribbon
Some Outlook users may require to change the location of Quick Access Toolbar in the Ribbon. It’s very easy to deploy the QAT location.
Just click the Arrow button in the Quick Access Toolbar > Show Below the Ribbon.
Then the Quick Access Toolbar is moved from the very top of Ribbon to the bottom of Ribbon. See screen shot below:
If the Quick Access Toolbar has already been below the Ribbon, just click the Arrow button > Show Above the Ribbon.
Note: Due to Outlook 2007’s main interface showing in classic view, there is no Ribbon at all, therefore, we can’t change the Quick Access Toolbar location in Outlook 2007’s main interface.

Sometimes, the whole Ribbon including the Quick Access Toolbar disappears from the Outlook 2013 interface, and make you annoyed to search for commands.
Show hidden Ribbon including Quick Access Toolbar: just click the Ribbon Display Options button at the top-right corner of Outlook interface > Show Tabs and Commands.
Hide Ribbon including Quick Access Toolbar: if you do not want to show the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar in the Outlook interface, just click the Ribbon Display Options button at the top-right corner > Auto-hide Ribbon.

Full Quick Access Toolbar Support For Office For Mac Os
- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.I just upgraded to Outlook 2016 from 2013
I do not want to EVER see the quick access toolbar. I have no use for it and even when the ribbon is hidden it makes the top blue are where the file menu is two lines high and I want it one line high with just the file menu tabs. Is that so difficult? I am sick of MS introducing view/layout features that waste my valuable screen space. It was bad enough that the upgrade trashed the layout I had before (would it really be so difficult to preserve and reapply that during an upgrade) but this quck access toolbar is just one more annoyance.
