Configuring preferences and options in Outlook.com
Hi langware,
This is Carlo of the Outlook.com Support Escalations Team. I am a Senior Support Analyst for Microsoft and I am part of the team handling Outlook.com related concerns and issues.
I have read through this thread and I have studied your queries and the steps that you used in order to reproduce the issue. I would like to inform you that we have also simulated this issue on our end and we have encountered the same results. As such, we have escalated this issue even further to our Microsoft Engineers for further investigation a while back. We apologize for the wait but we have just received word from them regarding this concern.
Our Microsoft Engineers have confirmed that this feature is currently not available in the Outlook.com User Interface (UI). They informed us to instruct you to suggest this feature via the feedback link and since you have already done so, this issue has been properly documented.
Another point that we can discuss here is the fact that our Microsoft Engineers are now aware of this issue. Although there is no definite turnaround time, this feature may become available in future releases of Outlook.com.
I hope this satisfies your queries regarding this issue. We have enough documentation on our end and we have submitted everything to our Microsoft Engineers following our standard protocol. We will immediately reach out to everyone once we have an update regarding this feature.
Thank you.
Regards,
Carlo
