New Outlook Issues
I understand that you have encountered two issues in the new version of Outlook and would like these features to be available again.
But it's also nice to hear that you appreciate the new options in Outlook, such as the ability to drag emails to add events or tasks. If you have other suggestions or feedback for improving Outlook, I encourage you to share them through Microsoft's official feedback channels. This allows them to prioritize features and improvements based on user needs and preferences.
Keep an eye on future updates of Outlook as Microsoft regularly releases new versions with additional features and improvements. Your feedback can help shape the future direction of the application.
How can I submit feedback to Microsoft?
NikolinoDE You’re assuming that there is appreciation for imposing this non-client replacement upon users.
It’s not a native desktop client. It’s Outlook.com wrapped in React Native and displayed through WebView2. It’s web. It tastes like web.
By the way, Outlook.com is a clumsy, bloated, slow, and ugly web based application for accessing email. Why would this be the consistency that Microsoft think users want? The sidebar/side rails, or whatever you call that redundant waste of space and the top search bar? They were moved to get users use to the fact that it matches the spacing and layout of Outlook.com and the customization and spacing limitations of CSS, HTML, and JS.
It literally looks like Outlook.com. I avoid it like the plague unless I have no choice. And the way that I least like accessing email is the way that I’ll be compelled to access all my work email is now one and the same.
By the way so many features including advanced rules, shared folders, and the ability to re-arrange folders in New Outlook is all borked. If you need these features I’d suggest you avoid it like the plague. It’s missing way more than that. But it can’t get the most basic UI elements down. And someone wanting praise for this? Why? Who asked for this?
Your concerns are valid, and it is not uncommon for users to have strong reactions to changes that impact their workflow and user experience.
It is important for software companies to balance innovation and updates with the needs and preferences of their users. While companies like Microsoft often aim to streamline their applications and provide a consistent experience across different platforms, it is clear that not all users appreciate or benefit from these changes.
User feedback, like yours, plays a crucial role in shaping the direction of software development. If you're encountering issues or finding the new experience less productive, consider providing feedback through official channels, such as Microsoft's user feedback platforms, or contacting their customer support directly. Your feedback can contribute to future improvements and potentially influence how Microsoft addresses these concerns.
Remember that software companies strive to address the diverse needs of their user base, which can be a challenging task. Preferences vary, and while some users may appreciate the new web-based approach, others might find it less efficient for their specific use cases.
In the meantime, if the new experience is not meeting your needs, you might want to explore alternative tools or workflows that better align with your preferences and requirements. Additionally, staying updated with software releases and updates can sometimes reveal improvements or solutions to existing issues.
Thank you for your time and patience.
