MicrosoftEvery time you post another article about New Outlook i say "ok, let's give it a try again". So, yesterday i have flipped the toggle and tried to use it for the whole day. Below are some issues i have:
As i expected Reminders popup is still behaving like before, jumping to the front of anything you are doing. Super annoying. I want it to glow in the taskbar and not distract me from my current activity where i have to actively go and minimize/close it. I guess web apps cannot do that.
There are too much space wasted all other the place, i get less content shown to me on the same screen and resolution. Main gripe is Today sidebar which i use to show calendar and upcoming events. On classic Outlook i can see 3-4 days of my events where New only can manage 1-2 days and every entry is so spaced out and color is only showing as outline, so it makes it hard to distinguish between types of events.
I have received suspicious email and wanted to see what URL the links lead to, so i hovered the buttons/links in the email and nothing. No URL showing up anywhere (statusbar or tooltip). How is this better for user security when they cannot even check URLs? Or just for plain troubleshooting.
I wanted to check all of my events/reminders. Which i can do in classic Outlook by switching to the List view. Cannot find anything like that in this New thing.
Pasting links is very annoying. It always tries to present a card, which in 99% i don't want as links are inline with text and showing a big blob of some default site picture is useless and brakes style. Most of the time it struggles to even generate the card and just adds a few lines of space that i then have to go and delete to make email look normal. Super annoying.
These are just a few issues i have encountered using it for 6 hours or so.
