Please give Microsoft your feedback. While in Outlook, navigate to View | Help | Feedback. They want to hear from users.

They should consider cancelling this project it has had virtually no improvements for too long.

I gave them feedback about missing IMAP setup fields that block me from using my corporate mail account and they completely ignored it. It works in every other email client Apple Mail, Thunderbird, The old Mail and Calendar and Classic Outlook.

It also makes no sense from a privacy perspective to send your credentials for third party mail accounts to Microsoft just to be able to use a cached web app in your desktop. This move is completely against users and an abuse on data extractivism.
And also the ads on third-party accounts, Windows is not a free software, every other operating system provides an add free mail client.

    fjtorresIt is staggeringly bad. I can't help thinking that if this was important to Microsoft's senior team, it wouldn't be like this. You mention Apple. Contrast New Outlook with the consistant experience the Apple mail client provides across devices.

    It's obvious that MS does not care about this. As I understand it Classic Outlook will be supported until 2029 so it gives me time to find another solution. I'm moving away from MS more and more; Windows forcing a MS account, I don't use Edge and "New" Outlook stinks. Who knows, by 2029 I may be done with MS.
