So you downloaded Outlook 2016 Preview for Mac but the Outlook seem to Crash each time you start the Microsoft Outlook.app. The code that you must be seeing looked something like this:

There is an easy fix to stop the Outlook 2016 from getting crash in MAC . All one need is to execute these two commands and you are set to go.

Go to Menu>> Click Utility

mac1-2016

Select Application >> Terminal
mac2-2016

First Command to Execute
defaults delete com.microsoft.Outlook - to delete old preferences

Second and Final Command to Execute
killall cfprefsd - to kill cached preferences

After executing the above commands you will be able to start your newly installed Outlook 2016 on MAC without any further crashes.

NOTE: After doing this the Outlook 2016 will ask you whether you want to import again, say no by hitting “Not Now” button(as the data is imported by the application and you don’t have to repeat the same process again).
