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!

    Oh well, there's no going back to the old format. It's all the new and improved format going forward.

    Check out the config options available to you in the Settings (gear icon in upper right) menu.

    I couldn't agree more...

    I opened my email today and had to ask "what the hell is THIS?"

    It is hard to use, clunky, way more complicated than it has to be and we SHOULD have the choice to opt out and stay with a "Classic" simple format... clearly someone at Microsoft is trying to reinvent the wheel so they can justify their job position there but if this email is for USERS shouldn't those USERS have some choice in what it looks and works like? Stop dumping your "new improved" email clients on us time after time... Give us the option of reverting back to the old, simple to use email Hotmail USED to offer... this is pathetic!
