The responses from those who monitor Outlook is corporate cute. And expected.

But the new Outlook is so Very Terrible, that those of US who loved and have been a part of Hotmail since it's inception , might be lead to believe that the R&D dept. or hired developer Never used it in their lifetime? ??

This new Outlook is a lazy, pathetic designers attempt to.......do nothing!!

What did you make better??

NOTHING!

What did you screw up??

  • The easy one glance ability to either read " said email " or delete in up to  a 10 email selection at once.
  • The ability to easily place emails into folders.

Why explain it,..WE all know the new Outlook is a " Microsoft is done with your stupid account....." phase out.

Which in actuality is a shame from a business perspective.

Hotmail, may not be Facebook popular? 

But, there ARE many longterm users!!!!!!

Microsoft,  you are forcing Your Clientele to depart and sever ties with you.

I left the iPhone world long ago for Samsung / Android.

Why???

  • Freedom, and elimination of loved apps being manipulated.

Microsoft is creating the Same Problem.

IF, the business is really about money????

And Microsoft " thinks " it needs to change??

Why not do the smart thing.........

Ask your client base what WE like, and what WE think you do well. Then work from there.

But this new Outlook??? Sorry but, IT SUCKS!

    I have the exact same problem with emails not loading.  I've used hotmail/outlook for over a decade.  No problems at all.  I just spent 10 minutes trying to get an email to come up because it kept telling me to "click the first in the list to come up" or something like that.  I clicked it a dozen times and nothing ever happened.  This happens almost every single time I try to read an email.  I'm going to go fulltime to Gmail.  Screw microcrap and their worthless services.

    I am really surprised that this new look was not checked & reviewed before launching it. I agree it sucks, and looks like it is a primitive attempt to add extra features ignoring the basic interface. Please keep it simple and quick. thanks

    I can't find some of my business email folders in the new Outlook.

    Very important stuff. Gone. 

    I don't mind an upgrade but why mess with the folders ?

    I have to "search"for them ? Ridiculous.
