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!

    WTF Microsoft?  My Hotmail account will not sync on my IPad (I use the IPad mail app and had noproblems until you started screwing with something that worked great for a long time.  I hate this, I MEAN HATE this.  I have no problems dumping every email account I have with you over this.  The ABSOLUTE LACK OF RESPECT FOR US IS DESPICABLE!  I want someone to answer me about how to set it up so I have my hotmail account working again on my IPad.

    I have used Outlook for personal and business use for years but the last few updates have made is complex and annoying and now the Focused group, which I originally felt was a good feature, is being overloaded with SPAM. I am now spending a half hour a day marking spam in the focused group as junk but it keeps on coming back,

    I thought focused was ONLY from those that I have communicated with. This is making Outlook semi-useless. We can't put up with this much longer.

    This is now so bad that I have put a stop on my MS stock holdings.

    Hey... I agree with all you state.

    Even if Microsoft asked for a small charge, many extremely long term users would pay it.

    I detest yahoo, I detest gmail (not able to construct and use folders), hate the fact on BOTH that the provider determines where your email goes, whereas apart from scam/ junk in Hotmail it all comes into the Inbox.

    Watching Microsoft over years (original 3.14 user), they do this ALL the time.

    History: Windows 95 - OK

    Windows 98 - Useless

    Windows 98 Second Edition - Great

    Windows 2000 / Millennium - USELESS

    Windows XP - Great

    Windows Blista - USELESS

    Windows 7 - Great

    Windows 8 - USELESS

    Windows 10 - Great

    hmmmmm..... Going by their history expect their next wave of I.T nerds to F something up

    Next Windows version.....? possibly, but look at this USELESS Outlook "version"... (ha ha ha...) as a prequel for their next wave of crap

    Suggestion......  Go and set up a free email account with gmx.com

    The format and navigation is AWESOME

    Folders can be easily constructed, view and used

    Easy to set forwarding and similar account settings

    Contact list is easy to edit and view

    Whoever the brainiacs are behind gmx mail are thinking logically how and where a human would expect and organise information, instead of the useless nerds at Microsoft who are designing crap for the 5% of people who who's brains operate in geek mode only
