Ok, so I have tried out the new interface and here are my comments:
Before I begin I have to admit that I like the overall feel and changes.
Cursor does not land on To for a new message (not like)
- If you create a new message or reply or forward etc regardless of clicking on New or Reply or using the short-cut keys, the cursor should land on the To field, but it does not.
- The current outlook does land on the To field.
No way to upload a doc to a Group (not like)
- Click on a group.
- Click on Files menu
- You can see the existing files, but there is no upload button
- Would love to be able to create a folder and upload files to it for a Group without going to MS Teams.
Launching Calendar opens a new Tab (not like)
- Click on Calendar icon from the 4 below icons in the the bottom margin
- This opens a tab for the calendar app
- Do not know if this is by design, it just opens up another tab but I can still click on Mail icon and so now I will have two Mail tabs.
- Just trying to limit tab/window clutter
- Existing outlook keeps one tab as you click on Mail Calendar People Tasks.
Encrypt menu item is handy (like)
- Encryption of email is becoming a big thing especially in healthcare
- Great to see simplicity from a send/recipient point of view.
Will comment more as I test more
