Hi Rockeye12,

Microsoft is rebuilding New Outlook from scratch. Based on feature prioritization and new technology for the next generation, it will not include all classic features. 

I have the Business Standard subscription.

    Microsoft, that experience maker. Those shoehorned “experiences” that intend to dictate “how we work today”.

    Apparently, Microsoft wants us to work like newbies because it thinks we're not worth much more. It should open a toy shop and leave the software market.

    Why rebuild something which didn't need to be rebuilt in the first place? The new outlook is a joke; MS took away basic settings and options and made it look like a personal email platform rather than a professional version.  There are likely far more important MS issues which needed to be addressed rather than the email platform which worked just fine.

    You have got to be kidding me. Rebuilding Outlook from scratch?

      Microsoft is using a new Code Base to get users through the next generation of new technology and how we work today.

      I recently interviewed a New Outlook product manager. You may find it interesting.
