    my biggest issue is that i had email contact lists/group emails that i rely on so as not to type 6 names into the "to" and inadvertently pick a wrong but same first name.  i didn't realize that contact lists reside only in the Address Book which is On My Computer in IMAP accounts.  i'm told this is a bug that will undergo fixing but that no ETA could be provided yet.

     

    i don't understand that explanation as the pop-up warning that On My Computer folders wouldn't be supported in - and therefore not migrated to - new outlook sounds intentional, not buggy.
