List of features not yet available in the early version of the new Outlook on the web

I realize that these features do not exist in the current OWA, but if we are going to replace this with the new and improved version, then I will need to compare it to the Client version. Thanks.

Adding on another Signature for replies vs new emails

• In the client version, you could set two Signatures eg one for new emails and one for replies.
• With OWA you can only set one, this is important when you want to follow an email with back and forth replies and the signature just gets in the way.

Changing Subject Line

• Client version allows you to change the subject line.
• Very often users send emails with misleading or obscure subject lines.
• It would be very useful to be able to change this to add proper meaning.

Delay or Schedule message Deliver

• Client version allows users to delay email sending.
• This allows users to complete the task of sending an email (eg before they go off on vacation)
• But they don't want to send it right away because of email competition in everyone's inbox.
• Instead they can delay so that the email when received is timed to the content of the email.
• Users used this function when they sent emails to clients. They miss it and we needed to install an unsupported add-on

Hyperlinks to network drives

• Client version allows you to copy paste a document path such as H:\company\HR\important.docx and it is clickable
• With OWA, you can certainly paste the link, but when you try to click it nothing happens ever if you are on the network.
• This is has been a real sore point for our users.
• Yes, it has motivated us to look at SharePoint or Groups, but that does not happen overnight.

Referring to email message when you compose a message

• Client version allows to save a message + its attachments as .msg and add it as an attachment in a message you are composing.
• We have tried to print a message, save as .pdf and attach that .pdf to the new message.
• This works sometimes, but we get odd results if the original message has attachments. since it comes out as hyperlinks in the .pdf.
• It would be ok to refer to the original message as a hyperlink, but of course there is a security component that needs to be addressed.

Thanks.
