MicrosoftSo I have allowed Outlook 365 on my laptop to show me the new format. There are fewer lines of email displayed per vertical inch than there were on the old format. The email header bar on the preview screen is now smaller than it was, but the option to compress it seems to have gone away, the result being the new look uses more screen real estate than the old one.
I am SO disappointed. Believe it or not I've only just converted from Outlook 2003 and the layout, the contrast, the colours, the readabilty was far better with O2003 than a product 15 years younger. And I am afraid that the new Outlook 365 on the PC is not better than the old.
Come on Microsoft,we don't all work on massive screens with 1920 x 1080 resolution. My ageing eyesight prefers my laptop with a 13" screen set at lower resolution. Please bring back the better use of screen real estate seen in O2003, and at the very least make the current version configurable per user. For example, I don't need the search bar there all the time. But I can't turn it off.
So - configurable layout please with the ability to turn bits on and off, bring back the ability to collapse the preview screen header, let us display at least as many emails as before and do something about the awful low contrast environment.
