Can't collapse all groups in new Outlook?
Hello,
I'm hoping the developers will see this because the removal of the collapse all categories feature is completely illogical and needs to be reimplemented. I have 25 people in a shared inbox with over 7K emails. Because of the push to get everyone on the new Outlook, my team now has to scroll through thousands of emails just to get to their own category. The jump to feature helps, but is still not effective. I would greatly appreciate it if you could roll the collapse all categories feature again for the new Outlook. It is one of the main reasons I've held onto the old one because dealing with the new one is an ineffective use of my time.

Keep the catergories collapsed when I first log on. I can choose to open them later.
