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??
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???
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 can not believe how **** this outlook is, i dont have the time or patient to go through it all. How could Microsoft get it sooo wrong. Reading emails is confusing, it doesnt send emails that i ask it to and tells me i have unread emails when i have already read them!! sort it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes 2017 and you are still relevant today! I am leaving also.
On my iPad (Going android as well) I click on the link for the desktop site and then it goes back to the mobile site when I open my email so I cannot create or delete folders!
I should not have to go to the library to use a desktop computer to do that! I am so tired of these mega corporations that don't give a damn about their customers...
Microsoft obviously does not care that their email system now officially sucks. Mail not being received, not sent, not syncing properly, folders disappear. It is amateur hour on display and Microsoft seems rather proud of what they have "accomplished"...... Perhaps we should all upgrade to "premium" so we can pay to have a crappy email system.
This is ridiculous... Been using Hotmail forever and this new client is beyond garbage. I work in IT, I endorse change, I believe its all part of getting to a better place from a technological standpoint but ****!!!! this POS is crap. I had to delete and recreate my inbox rules b/c theres no support for the free version and theres no way to properly diagnose a failing rule or set of rules. Even after doing so the new rules fail to process.. I had a simple rule to move messages from a single sender to a folder, that sender doesn't change, 2 weeks later.. 35 messages in my folder from that sender.. Rule was there and "on". I created the very same rule and all the messages were moved- go figure.
Not to mention the absolute fail for manually moving messages to folders, the interface that jumps all around when trying to scroll up or down, the inability to use it in chrome..UGH..
I wish that I wasn't so tied in professionally to this email address b/c i'd be out of here immediately!!
Now it won't let me scroll down my folders list. Change this damn new outlook back where it worked. It is horrible!!!
