Configuring preferences and options in Outlook.com
What a mess and a poor way to start a day. Cannot find my old contacts and only 5 will pop up. I cannot see any improvement whatsoever.
The New Outlook is TERRIBLE! !!

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!

2018-03-09T02:47:11+00:00 Yep agree Robert Stringer, i am slowly migrating everything to my gmx.com email, which is bloody brilliant, easy to navigate, great functionality, clear platform, and has all the forwarding and pop options. Also able to create folders, and it's free...!
Way better than STUPID gmail which thinks it knows where to file your emails, and only has "conversations" not folders.
Way better than yahoo which is a pain in the **** to log in to and has **** security.
And now better than hotmail / outlook with it's "upgrade" - upgrade.....?.....WHAT EVER.....
Go gmx

SERIOUSLY THINKING OF **** THROWING THE COMP AWAY AND GET BACK TO GOOD OLD FASHIONED WRITING ???????????????????????????????????????????

2018-02-23T10:48:18+00:00 i cannot even reduce the size of my outlook. it is huge on the page and cannot find out how to reduce it, despite several google searches.
i hate the whole outlook, hate hate hate.
why do microsoft have to keep changing everything. Maybe they are so bored they need something to do.
When you try to contact them, all you get is a bloody virtual robot.
Absolutely rediculous
